Software/Function developer

At Research and Development you will be a key contributor to the next generation outstanding luxury cars from Volvo. Together with other engineers from around the world, you and your team will create innovative human-centric car technology that makes life less complicated and more enjoyable for people. Are you interested in being part of an experienced team in the development of our next generations of Driver Assistance, Active Safety and Autonomous Driving systems? Do you share our passion for people, the environment and our urge to create a superior driving experience? Then Research and Development is the place for you to prosper.

The section Active Safety & Vehicle Dynamic Functions delivers world leading active safety and vehicle dynamics functions and has a clear ambition to extend the leadership in the future. The group Vehicle Motion & Control is responsible for the development of functions and software within the area of vehicle dynamics and motion control. This area covers both normal driving control e.g. autonomous longitudinal- and lateral control, limit handling control e.g. ESC control and vehicle state estimation e.g. mass, friction estimation. We develop software and functions in-house and together with our suppliers. We are today 21 persons working as software/function developers, function designers and function owners within this group.

As Software/Function Developer within Vehicle State Estimation you will have a unique opportunity to apply a broad spectrum of vehicle dynamics, mechatronics and programming. The field of Vehicle State Estimation includes e.g. vehicle mass estimation, lateral and longitudinal speed estimation, road slope and road friction estimation. As a developer you need competence in vehicle dynamics and signal processing to understand and improve equations used for calculating different estimates. Vehicle state estimates are a vital part of the active safety and vehicle dynamics functionality in all Volvo cars. The job tasks range from early design, implementation, and function testing both in simulation environments and in vehicles.
