Senior SW & Algorithm Developer Localization

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 expert within the area of localization algorithms and C++ software development? If you want to have a positive impact on our society by contributing to building state-of-the art autonomous solutions this is your opportunity; we are looking for a Senior Software and Algorithm Developer to join our Localization team.


What will you be doing?


In this role you will be a technical leader for algorithms in localization and mapping. You will work with the roadmap for next generation of the localization stack, lead research projects and contribute to the development and optimization of the current version of the stack.


To lead such innovative product development, you will be working closely together with a great team of highly skilled engineers and researchers within the Localization teams but also with teams in neighboring areas such as Perception, Prediction, and Motion planning.


You will contribute to foster a collaborative working environment and cultivate learning and engineering excellence. On this journey we are unified by diversity, celebrating great ideas, and striving for inclusiveness.


In short you will:
Define the algorithm roadmap for the localization stack
Contribute to the development and optimization of the current localization software
Formulate and lead relevant research projects and turn the findings into solutions for our product
Foster learning culture and engineering excellence

Who are you?


This role is very much about collaboration. We believe you need to be a good listener, communicator and that it is easy for you to connect with other people. Our working environment is highly international, and hence you need to be proficient in English, both written and spoken.


To be successful in this role you should have:
MSc or PhD in a relevant field and several years of industry experience
Experience in deploying localization and mapping algorithms into production
Excellent programming skills in C++
Experience in driving research projects

We see that prior experience in ML algorithms, parallel processing and point cloud algorithms 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. As your future manager, I truly believe that what makes you thrilled going to work will make you successful. That means I will support you in your personal development and help you follow your professional dreams.
