Group Manager Perception at Volvo Autonomous Solutions

At Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S) we are passionate about the positive impact autonomous solutions will have on our society. We are on a journey to create something unique, developing cutting-edge technologies and sustainable solutions that will change the future of transportation.

Are you an engaged leader with a coaching approach for developing people, organizations, and technical solutions? Do you thrive when guiding through change and are able to create a climate that is based on trust, learning and cross-functional teamwork? If you want to make a positive impact to our society by contributing to building state-of-the art autonomous solutions this is your opportunity; we are looking for a Group Manager Perception to join our team.


What will you be doing?
As the Group Manager of the Perception teams, you will be leading innovation and learning towards building two of the most critical and challenging building blocks of the automated driving system.

Driving this product development is no one person job. We truly believe that cross-functional collaboration and putting our brilliant heads together is key. Therefore, you will work closely with a great team of highly skilled engineers and researchers within the Perception teams and managers in neighboring areas such as Localization and Motion planning. In this role, you will get the pleasure of leading ~20 of our amazing engineers focusing on perception software and perception sensors.

As our next leader you will also set the roadmap and objectives for the Perception group, lead the implementation and act as servant leader to get our teams there. You will ensure that engineering best practices are followed and continuously improved and that the quality of our deliveries is high. In addition, your task is to cultivate a strong safety culture in our product development.

Who are you?
We believe you are a leader with interest to engage and motivate both individuals and teams. You are an engaging communicator; you actively listen in to your surrounding and it is easy for you to connect with people, as this job is all about collaboration.

We are active in one of the most interesting and challenging areas of technology development and hence we value your ability to understand new contexts quickly and efficiently while being able to prioritize with a structured approach. As our business area is new you need to share our positive spirit, curiosity for new technology, new ways of working and want to take it to the next level.

Our working environment is highly international, and hence you need to be proficient in English, both written and spoken.

We also see that prior experience in production software development for complex software products is of importance for this role. The perception C++ software is designed to be robust, scalable, and optimized for low latency.

Knowledge of sensors e.g., lidar, camera and radar and high-performance computational nodes as well as expertise in algorithms for perception are beneficial. However, we believe your potential, personality, and mindset to gain these capabilities is more important than having them today.

Are we a perfect match?
We offer you a chance to be involved in defining the future solutions within the transport and infrastructure industry where we together are the motivators to make the future of automated transport solutions happen.

If you are ready to grow, develop your knowledge and explore new ways of driving technology, then you have come to the right place. Welcome to join Volvo Autonomous Solutions!


We will go through applications continuously and we are looking forward to receiving your application.
