Senior Computational Node Owner

Ready to shape tomorrow’s society together with us?
Volvo Autonomous Solutions (V.A.S.) is a newly created entity within the Volvo Group with the mission to offer transport and material handling solutions never seen before. Together we will work on autonomous solutions that will defy conventions and take us to the future. With entirely new business models and advanced technology, we will meet and exceed expectations from customers and contribute to a society that we want to live in.


This is us, your new colleagues in the Perception team at Volvo Autonomous Solutions
We are developing perception solutions for autonomous vehicles, a truly inspiring area. This means that we decide on the sensors and computational hardware that are used by our vehicles, and that we work with the software that powers them. We are a team of sensor specialists, software engineers and algorithm developers who are working closely together to extend the limits of technology.


This is how you could make an impact
We are in an active recruitment phase and are expanding our hardware and software teams. You will take ownership of our computational nodes.


In this role, you will be taking part in the development of products completely new to the market and thus get an opportunity to influence how the future autonomous society will behave. While the software and hardware teams are working closely together to maximize the performance of our solutions, your focus area will be specifically the compute. Sometimes you will have well-defined requirements, and sometimes vague, but the end goal will be the same: to deliver success for our customers through the clever application of technology.


Does this seem like a daunting mission? Do not worry, you will be part of a diverse team with extensive experience of component ownership in the autonomous vehicle domain. You will also cooperate closely with project managers, system architects, and with engineers from other V.A.S. technology areas to share extensive product knowledge.


Who are you?
We believe it is important that you have good leadership and communication skills, since this opportunity is about collaborative teamwork and leading our work forward. For us this means that you should be a good listener, fluent in English, and that it is easy for you to connect with other people.


We also believe a key quality for this role is a solution orientated and positive spirit with a desire to improve status quo. You are good at defining and balancing requirements, and it is preferable that you have several years of broad experience in system design for software and hardware architecture.


We also believe you have a background like the following:
Master's degree in Electrical engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or other relevant areas
Significant experience of computational HW, within automotive, defense, etc.
Significant component ownership experience, on the OEM and/or Tier1 side
ISO 26262 and/or ISO 13849
Knowledge in Electrical & Electronics architecture and safety critical electronics hardware



In addition, experiences from development of autonomous vehicles or advanced driver assistance functions are beneficiary for this role.


What it is like to work @ Volvo Autonomous Solutions
We are unified by diversity, great ideas, and inclusiveness. Our colleagues are the most important part of our story. Everyone matters and plays a critical role in our journey. There is plenty of room to learn and we look for colleagues who lead with passion, perform with purpose, and transform with vision. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we have office locations in Sweden and in the US.


Are we the perfect match?
If the opportunity to shape tomorrow’s transport solutions intrigue you, this is the chance for you to prosper and we are eager to receive your application letter and CV in English. We can promise you great colleagues and some truly exciting opportunities. You will work in a global environment that provides you with developmental prospects both professionally and personally.


Are you curious and have some questions?
Feel free to give me a call and I will gladly give you more information about the role and how we can help each other on our future journey!
