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.

We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

We are a tight agile team, working with test environments for new platforms and programs. We design rigs and are working with software and electronic domain integration striving to maximize the test-value. Our rigs will continuously integrate (CI) and provide feedback of the electrical system to enable high quality and robustness. We improve quality by enabling automated integration and visualize status of the system-under-test.

We are now looking for people to strengthen our team within the field of test environment development with the task to write, run and analyze automated tests for a new developed Platform within Software & Electronic Platform organization.

What you´ll do
As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to participate in the entire process from design of test infrastructure to analyse test results when the rigs are up and running in the CI environment. Our HIL rigs starts when the first ECU delivers to the project. In early phases, there are only a few ECUs and less functionality but as the project matures, our HILs grow. For our HILs to be suitable for testing, we develop tool chains for test automation and analyses results. We develop test cases to verify the SW in Python or CAPL. We work on continuous improvements regarding test automation and fault tracing of HW and SW. Together with your colleagues, you will especially work with further development of our test activities to enable test automation and Continuous Integration (CI). As a software test developer of our HIL rigs, you will gain a broad understanding of Volvo Cars vehicle systems and electrical functions.
