Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.
Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.
We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

We are a tight agile team, building test environments for new platforms and programs. We design hardware rigs and are working with software and electronic domain integration striving to maximize the test-value. Our rigs are part of our Continuous Integration (CI) and provide feedback of the electrical system to enable high quality and robustness. We improve quality by enabling automated integration and visualize status of the system-under-test.

We offer an exciting environment that are highly prioritized, and we are now expanding and looking for an engineer with strong experience within the field of test environment development with the task to design, develop, construct, and maintain Hardware In the Loop (HIL) rigs, including both hardware and software. Our test environments will be a key enabler for increasing the stability and robustness for the new developed Platform within Software & Electronic Platform organization.
