Software Developer - Charging

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.

Get to know us
We at Charging are responsible for the development of major parts of hybrid and electric vehicle systems at Volvo Cars. The group Charging Software is responsible for delivering software functionality, in regards of actual software deliveries, but also diagnostics functionality, for the on-board charger (OBC). 
The on-board charger is essential for electrified vehicles, it holds the functionality to charge the traction battery from the grid, and it is for sure of highest importance in a pure electric vehicle. 
The biggest challenge with the DC-charging functionality of electrified vehicle is that half of the system is outside of the vehicle. The success of the charging-sequence is highly dependent on the implementation in the charging station done by other companies and that they interpret the standard in the same way as we do. We therefore need to do the uttermost we can in our SW/HW to make charging of the vehicle successful, both in AC and DC charging. 
Our vision is to deliver the best in the market of Charging Software functionality and continuously evolve our way of working. We strive for a more modular software platform to cope with different configurations of the worldwide charging standards that are continuously updated.  
What you will do
As a Software Developer you will be part of an agile team that delivers Application Software for the on-board charger. You will utilize a model-based development (MBD) process with Simulink and AUTOSAR framework/toolchain to realize functionality for different charging standards and logics in the vehicle. 
You need to take an active role in review/understanding the software requirements, implement the logics within the boundary of the requirement, perform unit tests to ensure functionality and that no errors were introduced. To perform peer review is needed to increase the quality but also the awareness of what is happening in other parts of the SW, parts that you personally are not working with right now. Other activities that we do is calibration in vehicle, testing in HIL (Hardware-In-the-Loop) and vehicle, analyze, fault trace and correct software issues, and lastly interact with Volvo internal support teams and suppliers about software design solutions. 
As a part of the agile team, together with other Software Developers and Software Testers you are part of the process with daily meetings, sprint planning, time estimation and retrospective, all for the purpose to improve ourselves and the way of working.
