Systems Engineer, Active Safety
At Research & Development you will be a key contributor in the development of the next generation outstanding luxury cars from Volvo. Are you interested in Active Safety? Do you share our passion for people, the environment and our urge to create a superior driving experience? If yes, then Safety Electronics is the place for you to prosper.

The department, Active Safety, has been a rapidly growing part of Volvo Car Group over the last decade. Active Safety is an area where Volvo Cars, through continuous launching of new and innovative and world first safety features, has positioned itself among the leaders of the automotive industry. Now the work continues to reach our ambitious vision that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo Car by year 2020. Within the department we develop customer functions such as Autonomous Drive, Collision Avoidance, Full Automatic Parking, Driver Support and Protective Safety. To do this we use sensor systems based on technologies such as Radar, Laser, Ultrasonic, Cameras and Accelerometers. Through Sensor Fusion, these sensors are combined to create an awareness of the vehicle surroundings that can be used by various Driver Assist and Safety Functions to support the driver and to create self-driving cars.

Our team, Radar Systems, has the mission to develop next generation radar sensors to be able to support all these new active safety functions. We are involved in all aspects of the product development process, from early research and advanced engineering projects to industrialisation of the systems in new cars. Given the challenges and complexity within Active Safety we are planning to add a Radar Systems engineer for coming industrialisation and advanced engineering programs. We welcome applications from both experienced as well as newly graduated candidates.
