High-Performance C++ Developer - Core System Application Software

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Autonomous Driving

At Volvo Cars, we envision a world where transportation is personal, sustainable, and safe. Imagine an electric car that drives autonomously—whether it's taking you to work or safely delivering your children to school. To achieve this, we are building a next-generation platform with a software-centric architecture. This new platform will feature a built-in core computer to manage all vehicle applications, enabling real-time decision-making, continuous software deployment, over-the-air updates, and scalable architecture for autonomous driving.

Let's introduce ourselves - Platform Software Services

Our mission is to build a groundbreaking software-centric platform. Our department leads this transformation, and our Agile Release Train (ART) consists of highly skilled Software Engineers who understand software architecture holistically while delivering high-quality code. We govern API and application architecture for the software in the Electric Control Units, creating frameworks, patterns, and policies that enable other teams to build with consistency and success. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do—we work closely with other teams to integrate and innovate.

What You'll Do

As a High-Performance C++ Developer, your work will revolve around designing, developing, testing, documenting, and reviewing software on the High-Performance chipset, supporting and enabling contributions from other ARTs. You'll play a key role in setting the standard for software development at Volvo Cars. This role requires creativity, adaptability, and strong interpersonal skills, as you will interface with various ARTs and teams across our R&D organization. Empathy, openness, and collaboration are critical to succeeding in this role and fostering the growth of both your team and yourself.

• A B.Sc. degree or higher in Software Engineering or equivalent experience.
• At least 3 years of experience in C or C++ (or other OOP languages) development in a real-time operating system / embedded software environment.

• Experience with the following technologies: CI/CD tools (e.g. Git, JIRA), Docker, YAML.
• Software documentation and design tools (e.g. UML, Markdown, Doxygen).
  
  

Preferred Experience:
