About us - SW & Electronics Core System (ART SWECS)
In the execution of our development strategy, there is a need of a focus on balancing and securing the system characteristics for the Core System with all applications (i.e. “SW-on-HW Core System”). The distributed way of working will stress the need of centralized guidance and quality assurance.
This centralized guidance is hosted and driven from SW & Electronics Core System (ART SWECS) with the main tasks of:
•    Set, guide, drive and guard the coherence to the Strategies & Architecture ensuring the Core System quality and performance.
•    Manage and balance shared Core System resources.
•    Ensure integration, test, trouble shooting and optimization for the shared Core System resources.
•    Run release- and life cycle management.
To support this, the structural/organizational setup will initially have 3 types of teams. One in each of the areas Architecture, Integration and Release, each led by one PO and coached by a Scrum master. The manning of those teams is handled by a Team Manager.

What you’ll do 
•    You will be a part of a scrum team using agile way of working and SAFe methodology.
•    You and your team will create and run a network communication switch software for Core System execution environments.
You and your team will do the systemization, config, develop and make sure the software/firmware of the Ethernet switched network in vehicle working correctly. 
•    You will run troubleshooting of the network communication system, develop test and test environments/riggs, fitting the purpose including setting up and continuously visualize technical KPI’s, strategies, priorities. 
•    In essence you will, together with the System Architects constitute the technical lead for the network communication across the Core System, securing performance, minimizing the short- and long-term technical debt and build a culture of collaboration and integration pull.
•    As a Team you will support internal customers and stakeholders.

You and your skills
•    You have a M. Sc in Electrical or Software Engineering or similar relevant experience.
•    Strong knowledge of Data communication networking, OSI layer, protocols.
•    Experience in Automotive Networking including Automotive Ethernet (Switches and PHYs); TCP/UDP/IP protocol stacks 
•    Knowledge about Time Synchronization in Automotive (gPTP, IEEE 802.1AS) and Time Sensitive Networking
•    Network troubleshooting experience
•    Solid Unix/Linux knowledge
•    Relevant experience of the art of Integration (SW and HW) or CI, designing/running a subset of tests, measurements and visualization of results and trends for fast feedback to application owners and developers.
 •    This includes trouble shooting, regression-tests and verification of characteristics (complete test scope), giving input to formal release (incl. documentation).
 •    You are experienced in SW Integration management, used to create and drive Integration anatomy, write and implement automated test cases, measure and visualize measurement results all based on what new SW/functions to integrate, in what order, on what CPU, within the Core System.

Meritorious:
•    Professional certifications such as CCNA or CCNP are a plus.
•    Hands-on experience with Cisco network equipment.
