JOB DESCRIPTION
You will be working in a small team of around six people that has the shared responsibility to develop the systems, components, software and functions connected to the driver's place, like the instrument cluster and infotainment unit. Some of the development is handled in-house, but the team works closely with both external suppliers and Volvo truck development teams as well.

There is room for taking on additional responsibilities as well, depending on your own skills and personality. You will also be part of the system design and architectural community here in Volvo Bus, sharing experience and ideas with system design engineers in other teams.
Most of the work here is done in the same systems being used in other parts of the Volvo Group, and the core one for this position is the system/module-based design tool, known as SystemWeaver or SE-tool.
Since Volvo Bus is a smaller company, we all work cross-functionally with broad responsibilities throughout the entire company, across many different departments and competence areas. This position will be no exception, coordinating yours and your teams’ work with the rest of the development teams here at Volvo Buses, will be important.
Long-term development for you within this role, could go towards more coordination and long-term planning, if this is your preference. Since we are growing within the electrical and software area, adapting both the technology and our ways of working to new standards, there will be possibilities to take on new challenges and responsibilities within the coming years.

Our department, Electrical and Software Architecture is a function within Global Product Development (GPD) at Volvo Buses that is responsible for integrating Volvo Group technology into our buses and develop bus unique solutions when needed.

THIS PROBABLY DEFINES YOU
It is meritorious to have earlier experience from within the Volvo Group, working with TEA2+ and bridge plan development.
