System Design Engineer at Connectivity

The Position
As a System Design Engineer within Vehicle Connectivity, also referred to as System Leader, you will be part of building a global platform utilized by the brands within Volvo Group. Connectivity is a key enabler for Volvo in the digital domain. The development within this area is fast and rewarding!


This is Us
The System Design group is responsible for developing and maintaining system level solutions within the domain of on-board connectivity. We lead investigations and create solutions as well as define system-level strategies and architectures. We can offer you an exciting and global working environment with a broad variety of tasks in a dynamic department with great colleagues and many strategic assignments.


This is What You Will Do
In this role, and together with other subject matter experts from around the company, you will lead the work to design, develop and deploy solutions built with emerging technologies. This is a team sport!


You will be responsible for reviewing input requirements and business cases, identifying possible technological solutions, analyzing, evaluating the options, and then anchoring the end solution with stakeholders around the company.

You will be responsible for the technical components of development plans aiming to bring new technology to market. You will be required to communicate your vision and requirements clearly to implementing teams working in various disciplines.
