What’s in it for you?

Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to redefine the customer experience in automotive through digital technology. Electrification, Autonomous Drive and Shared Mobility are enablers for our purpose – freedom to move in a personal, sustainable and safe way.

Software engineering is an increasingly important area in the automotive industry. Volvo Cars is bringing more of the software development in-house to better handle continuous integration and the complex interactions between different functions. Connectivity is an enabler for most vehicle functions, including diagnostics and data collection, but also introduces privacy and cybersecurity risks that needs to be managed through innovative and robust designs.

We are a unit within Research & Development with a clear purpose to make our consumers feel special and rewarded by delivering leading Scandinavian design and seamless connectivity. We work in a fun and high pace organization, and you now have the possibility to join Vehicle Data & Diagnostics department. Our department supports the organization with a standardized way of working to develop complete diagnostic systems, to educate people within the diagnostic domain as well as gathering diagnostic and related data from fleet cars to provide general tools needed for analysis of data.

In the Vehicle Data & Diagnostics department within the unit Connected Experience, we put high quality vehicle data at the fingertips of engineers and enable uptime through diagnostics. We are growing and we are therefore now looking for curious, creative people who want to change the world through innovative thinking.

We are looking for a SW developer for the data collection backend team

Our team develops and maintains a back-end solution that uses the mobile network to collect information about cars. The data is published within the company and used by other teams to draw conclusions about the car, improving ownership experience. The solution is today used on many cars in several countries. Our technology roadmap is exciting, and you will be part of an amazing journey when we scale up with vehicles and features.
