HIL Developer

Does it intrigue you to think about how the future of transport will look in 5, 10 or 20 years? Are you interested in taking part of shaping how it will be? This is a chance for you to join us and our team working with HIL development and testing!


What will you be working with as HIL Developer
Together we are breaking new ground and building autonomous solutions for a sustainable and safe future. Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing is an important step in continuous integration, verification, and validation to enable quality, speed and safety for Autonomous Driving (AD). Integration among HIL components, test environment and system under test, 3rd party development and test tools are becoming challenging while the AD product complexity evolves. Maintaining HIL and its surrounding toolchain compatible to the product development needs requires a broad knowledge of all components involved and continuous integration and testing which will require you to stay connected with your colleagues, well updated on new technology and curious.

Your role will be to architect and design the HIL equipment. Simulation of sensors and new protocols that are in development will also be a large portion of your work. To make HIL maintainable and easily configurable over time will be a challenge in an ever-changing environment, making it an important goal to take responsibility for. Knowing where to find information about sensors and how to simulate them and send the different network protocols will be important for your work.

We work with the development team as well as verification & validation, and together decide what types of HIL rigs will be needed, to test our inhouse developed software both during development and for verification purposes. Therefore, the HIL team needs to be in sync with the newest developments as well as maintain the possibility to test software already in production.

Who are you? 
As we don’t know you yet, we might not have everything right about your background and who you are. But when we imagine who you are, we believe you have good social skills as this job is all about collaboration. For us this means that you should be a good listener, communicator and that it is easy for you to connect with other people. We also believe that key competencies for this role are structure and positive spirit with a make-it-happen mindset. Likely you are also passionate about building development tools, implementing testing workflows and infrastructure work as that is what this job is about.

You’re probably also open to work in a completely new context, where we together are the drivers to make the future of automated transport solutions happen. As our business area is new you should share our curiosity for new technology, tools, and way of working, and want to take it to the next level.

Other Key Competencies for the Position:
University degree in Computer Engineering, Physics Engineering/Electrical Engineering/Mechatronics or equivalent
Experience of HIL development in HIL rigs for real-time systems
Good knowledge of equipment for electronics system or component testing
Knowledge of Linux



Competencies that we would be happy if you had:
Experience in communication protocol, DDS, REST API, UDS, Ethercat
Knowledge of perception sensors for autonomous driving such as lidar, radar and camera
Verification experience
Experience in plant modelling and simulation

We are actively working to establish teams that will take maximum advantage of the strength inherent to differences in knowledge, experience, age, gender and nationality, among others. We find that well balanced work teams increase group dynamics, creativity and new approaches to solutions.

Let us tell you a little about who we are
Volvo Autonomous Solutions is a Business Area within the Volvo Group with the mission to offer autonomous transport solutions. We were created in 2020 and together we will work on autonomous solutions that will challenge current standards and take us into the future. With entirely new business models and advanced technology we will meet and exceed expectations from customers and contribute to a society we want to live in. We will accelerate the development, commercialization, and sales of autonomous transport solutions within the Volvo Group. We combine a typical start-up’s agility with the strength of belonging to the Volvo Group.


There’s already about 340 of us and together we form a strong team ready to tackle the big challenges we have ahead of us. You will join our HIL infrastructure team and our journey towards shaping a better, more sustainable future. The success of making and deploying self-driving trucks and construction machinery into real operation lies in the test and data driven development, which is what our team works with.

Are we a perfect match? 
We offer you a chance to be involved in defining the future solutions within the infrastructure and transport industry, where we together are the motivators to make the future of automated transport solutions happen. If you love to work in the forefront of technology and can see the importance and challenges of developing simulation and testing framework to achieve safe and sustainable transport solutions don't hesitate, then you have come to the right place.

We welcome you to apply and join our world full of opportunities! We adopt a continuous selection process so make sure to apply as soon as possible. Interviews will be held continuously.
