System Safety Developer

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.

Who we are
At the Agile Release Train Core System Components (ARTCSC) within Software & Electronics Platform, we develop body controllers, I/O controllers, electrical power distribution units and electrical power supply – hardware as well as software – for both current and future vehicle platforms. We work with solutions from early concept to industrialization and follow-up in the field. We are dedicated to building cross-functional and empowered teams and an agile environment where we learn every day, challenge each other, and give continuous feedback. We are now looking for a System Safety Developer to join our agile development teams on their exciting journey!

The teams in question are responsible for developing and delivering two complete I/O controller ECUs. These units are a central part of the new SPA2 software & electronic platform, realizing important software functionality - both on system service and customer function level. The teams are developing software to integrate supplier-developed hardware and basic software with in-house developed application software, and they are also responsible for verifying and delivering the complete ECU for manufacturing.

What you’ll do
As part of an ARTCSC empowered agile team, you will ensure that the software and hardware of two complete I/O controller ECUs meet our high functional safety requirements. You will work in accordance with Volvo Cars’ system safety processes and methods, performing analyses (such as HARA/TARA) and developing all system safety work products required by the ISO 26262 standard (e.g. PRSP and TSC). While you will be main responsible for driving the team’s system safety tasks, your work will be done in close collaboration with the rest of the team and our suppliers – and with support from ARTCSC’s System Safety Engineers and Volvo Cars’ System Safety Competence Center.

Who you are
We believe that you are a self-driven team player with high ambitions and both a sense of ownership and dedication to quality in everything you do. You take a structured approach to your work and have analytical skills that you have successfully applied to complex engineering tasks in the past. You collaborate well with your peers and are open to share your work and expertise, and you are not afraid to ask when you need their help. Simultaneously, you have no problem stating your own opinion and setting high standards when collaborating with e.g., suppliers. 

You communicate well in English and have a B.Sc. or equivalent within Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or similar area of education. An M.Sc. is extra meritorious. We expect you to know embedded HW/SW functional safety standards well, especially ISO 26262, and that you have experience from working with functional safety in an automotive ECU/system design and development context. We also appreciate background within ECU base tech, Autosar and in-vehicle communication.

How to learn more and apply
We look forward to receiving your application, no later than December 3rd, 2021. Interviews will be held continuously and the position may be filled before the final application date, so don’t wait!
