Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent. We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

At Architecture and Concept within the Software and Electronics unit, we define the overall system level architecture and concepts for the distributed software and electronics platform, including diagnostics and software applications. We are part of shaping Volvo Cars’ next generation software and electronics platform and create the foundation for a centralized computing system-enabling safe, secure, and scalable software driven functions across our future vehicles. By developing a high performance, multi node architecture built on advanced systems-on-chip, we provide a powerful platform for teams and partners to innovate and deploy the features that will define the cars of tomorrow. We are now looking for a Regulatory and Systems Engineer to strengthen our ability to meet both current and future needs by securing the tools, methods, and regulatory compliance across our vehicle programs and software ecosystem. This also includes understanding upcoming regulations and market developments to assess their impact on our architecture and systems, ensuring we stay ahead of requirements as our platform evolves.

You will work within a cross-functional team alongside systems, concepts, and safety engineers. The team is responsible for defining and driving improvements and enabling solutions related to product structure, driving concepts, regulatory compliance, safety expertise, and governance.
