What We Offer
Join our agile development team, Wired Communication, where you'll gain access to long-term growth opportunities in a dynamic environment. Our Wired Communication area consists of three specialized teams: the ComWired Technologies hardware team, the ComWired Application software team, and the ComWired System team. These teams work on numerous deliverables developed through advanced engineering and research projects. We operate in an agile framework (SAFe) with 12-week program increments. The teams are part of the Base Technology Solutions (BTS) Agile Release Train, forming the foundation for all electronic control units in the entire electrical system.

The ComWired Technologies (HW) team focuses on various wired communication technologies such as Automotive Ethernet, CAN, LIN, LVDS, A2B, PCIe, USB, and more. Team members are responsible for designing and verifying these technologies through requirements, simulations, measurements, and proofs of concept from both hardware and software perspectives. We collaborate closely with other teams and suppliers to ensure the technologies meet Volvo Cars' requirements.

What You’ll Do
- Develop Automotive Networking Technologies (Automotive Ethernet, CAN, LIN, LVDS, A2B, PCIe, USB, etc.).
- Define requirements and test cases for new hardware components and communication technologies.
- Develop proofs of concept and test benches to validate new and existing hardware components and communication technologies.
- Collaborate with ECU teams and suppliers to ensure the development and integration of hardware components meet defined requirements.

This work will be done in close cooperation with other team members. Team members are automotive experts within their technology field, and they will be happy to share their experience with you. More details about the position will be shared in an interview.
