The eART gathers competence areas within Software Engineering Process/Methods/Tools, Software Quality, product Cybersecurity and system safety with the purpose of strengthening the collaboration and alignment between those areas and guide the establishment and maintenance of the relevant development processes and tools for the entire Research and Development (R&D) at Volvo Cars. 
As SWQA Engineer you will perform quality assurance of software products developed in-house and by suppliers, assess work products with respect to predefined quality criteria at defined gates, and report deviations. You shall also contribute with (measurable) feedback and continuous improvements to close gaps between the work products and the quality level they need to fulfill, providing expert support to product development organizations/teams in R&D responsible for software product deliveries.
