System Designer – Cyber Security

Our department consist of around 120 people that are responsible for the Active safety platform for enabling driver assistance and collision avoidance functions. We are also responsible for making Autonomous Drive become reality for the customer. To make this happen we are working closely with different stakeholders, function design, software developers and sensor teams developing state-of-the-art LiDARs, ultrasonic sensors as well as cameras and radars.

Within our team we have several core areas as System design, software architecture and software Integration & verification.

You are:

You are a driven, structured and self-motivated senior team player, who will be a part of our agile development team. You are very skilled within SW architecture & design and will be part of developing our next generation of premium Volvo Cars.

You will be a member in a group of around 15 engineers and will collaborate with other architects, lead developers, POs/PMs and stakeholder, both internal and external to the department.

Your focus will be to guide and support our different develop team with cyber security to design next generation of Active Safety and Autonomous Drive system in our cars. You will work closely with other teams and stakeholders to secure that the system is safe from Cyber security point of view.
