This innovation enables advances in Vehicle Motion, Advanced Connectivity, Machine Learning, and Autonomous Drive. The mission is to create a Vehicle Control Unit platform using new technologies like DriveOS and NVIDIA’s latest chip technology, alongside traditional car signaling technologies. This core computer and platform simplify software/application development, creating a safe, reliable, and secure platform for increased innovation and speed.

The Vehicle Tophat unit is one of six development units within Research & Development, where the teams develop state-of-the-art interior and exterior solutions/systems. Interior systems include instrument and door panels, tunnel consoles, switches, and displays, along with premium seating experiences and leading interior safety systems. Exterior systems include mechatronic systems like exterior lighting, wiper, washer, sensor cleaning, and rear-view systems. The Vehicle Tophat unit is located in Gothenburg and Shanghai.

The Quality & Operations department within Vehicle Tophat supports software development teams by providing the infrastructure for continuous integration, testing, and release of software. This includes developing and maintaining hardware-in-loop setups for software development, verification, and validation, building an automated test framework, and enabling software test and release in a CI flow.

Main Responsibilities:

• Build, develop, and maintain the CI infrastructure for software functionality verification on embedded systems.
• Develop and maintain hardware-in-loop setups for enabling development, verification, and validation of software-oriented products.
• Ensure the test setups can execute relevant test cases for platform, software, and function verification.
• Develop and maintain the CI flow that enables software integration, deployment, and verification, with relevant verdicts being published.
• Work with software integration and deployment on core computers and embedded GPUs, enabling test automation to ensure high test coverage in the CI flow.
• Collaborate with other groups and suppliers, creating a broad network within the organization.
• Grow your competence and gain a broad understanding of the client’s next-generation vehicles and software platform, along with domain growth in Vehicle Tophat.
• Work in a small cross-functional team with a high focus on quality and continuous improvements.
