Solution Architect - Product Structure & Configuration

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.
We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. 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.

In line with our mission to become a software centric company, we are now contracting a Solution Architect in the area of Product Structure and Product Configuration management. If you are an analytic team player with an interest in how processes and information flows can support our Product Development, you might be the person we are looking for. 

What’s in it for you?
We have a great team, with mainly Solution Architects, that contribute to the Process development in the R&D organisation. As a member of this team, you will work with understanding and analysing needs from the organisation, balance the requirements from different stakeholders and deploy the new solutions in our car programs. Right now, we have specific focus on how we will manage information supporting the Software development, and how we shall define and implement the end-to-end process for Product Configuration.

What you’ll do
As Solution Architect, you will work both with solving short term tasks, as well as long term strategic matters. Often, we work closely with the Digital Core organisation that is responsible for the tool development. 

Also important is that we work agile and that we have fun. Combining this brings a lot of energy to the team and we hope that you also can thrive in that environment. 

You and your skills
We see that you have a BSc or higher degree in engineering, as well as previous experiences from working with Product Structures and Product Configuration. You will also need solid skills in written and spoken English, great facilitation skills, and demonstrated ability to be a team player in a fast-paced agile environment.

Previously gained knowledge about Volvo Cars concerning PLM applications (KDP, Teamcenter), Product Documentation, and SW development processes is meritorious.

On a personal level, we are looking for a person that is delivery focused, pro-active and self-motivated. It is also important that you have the skills to build relations to executives, colleagues, and project teams.
