This is us, your new colleagues
We are the Test Object Management team, a part of Vehicle Software Factory, within Vehicle Technology, Volvo Group Trucks Technology.

And together with our friends around Volvo, we are part of developing the best transport solutions in the world. Period.
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).
