What do Florence Nightingale, Marco Polo, Amelia Earhart, and Sherlock Holmes all have in common?
They would all be a perfect candidate to join our team as System Test Engineer! Florence, because of her lack of respect for the status quo and willingness to constantly challenge and improve the ways we are used to. Marco, given his courage to explore the unknown. Amelia’s uncompromising commitment and fearless decisiveness. And Sherlock’s eye for details and passion to solve problems. But in the end of the day, we are not looking for a super-human who checks all the boxes. What really matters is that our new colleague has the right personality, mindset and complements the team with new perspectives and knowledge.

This is us, your new colleagues
The System Test team is probably one of the loudest teams within the Volvo Group. While it is nothing to be proud of, it’s an indicator that we are having fun at work with an open-minded atmosphere. A common denominator for the team is that we take great pride in our products, and we share a deep, genuine passion for Volvo and its customers and end users. The passion is important since it motivates us to continuously walk the extra mile (which we are happy to do if it brings value to the products and its users). With different backgrounds, experiences, personalities, and characteristics, the team bears a strong resemblance to a Swiss army knife, and we are always looking for new components to increase our versatility.
Our humble ambition is to become the best automotive testers in the world, combining edge-cutting automated testing and mastering the beautiful art of manual exploratory testing.

And what do we do?
To be more precise, with support from the Integration team both rigs and complete vehicles (aka Trucks) are updated with the latest software. We let the machines do what they do best (repetitive testing) and we do what humans do best (creative test design) with a high exploratory approach. And together with our friends around Volvo, we are part of developing the best transport solutions in the world. In other words, we verify the complete software ecosystem on rigs and trucks under different test conditions either simulated ones or on test tracks and on road expeditions. After all that we share feedback and test results with Test Leaders by uploading and managing logfiles and PIL documentation on failed tests or issues observed during testing to continue the development processes.

Who are you?
We believe that it is the right mindset that will make a difference within our organization. You are ready to challenge your team, your peers, and you feel comfortable in being challenged. You are curious and willing to learn new things daily. You have a positive mind-set and a can-do attitude, with good communication skills and the ability to convey your message clearly. Analytical thinking using logic and reasoning to identify faults, strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems is important within this role. It is also vital that you are self-propelled and thrive in environments that are constantly changing. Expect that we do not have the answers, but we will be happy to find out together with you.
Requirements:
* Engineering degree or equivalent experience.
* Extensive experience in vehicle testing within automotive test environments, preferably heavy duty automotive.
* Broad product knowledge and experience from technology/product development.
* Fluent in written and spoken English and preferably in Swedish.

It is considered a merit if you have vehicle calibration experience, truck driver's license (C or CE), and knowledge about trucks. Knowledge and experience in data acquisition and system testing tools such as Vector, ATI, Ipetronik, and Arcos are also a plus.
