Simulation Platform Architect
Göteborg, SE, 417 15
Do you want to be part of Volvo Group’s exciting journey towards simulation-driven development? As a Simulation Platform Architect, you will play an important part in enabling our R&D organization to evolve in virtual testing and promote simulation-driven product development.
This is us, your new colleagues
Product Simulation is a newly founded department within the Vehicle Software Factory, with the purpose to develop and lead development of solutions for complete vehicle simulation and virtual development. We develop an ecosystem of tools used for virtual testing of software as well as features on complete vehicle level. As a part of the Vehicle Software Factory, we want to be an important part of the software development process by providing a complete vehicle virtual test environment during all stages from single function testing and evaluation to complete vehicle software integration and verification. We also support all parts of Volvo Group with solutions for system simulation and complete vehicle simulation.
About the role
As a Simulation Platform Architect, you will take a holistic view on a complete vehicle simulation platform widely used within the Volvo Group. You will be a key domain expert, responsible for establishing common ways of working and implementing industry-standard methods and best practices. Your role will involve close collaboration with stakeholders across the Volvo Group, leading and supporting the development team to ensure successful delivery.
Your mission is to lead development of the platform by balancing the needs of many teams, to secure stability and ensure that the platform is scalable and adaptable to future needs. You will be responsible for the complete life cycle of application development, from design to maintenance and support. Your focus will be to develop GSP (Global Simulation Platform), but you will also investigate other platforms used for complete vehicle simulation and how they can be combined to extend capability and efficiency.
This will enable an extended digital twin approach that includes the full spectrum from component to system and full vehicle simulation.
As a member of the Product Simulation team, you will also identify and support development initiatives within the system simulation area. The team has a leading and coordinating role for developing system simulation within the Volvo Group.
Who are you?
You are a dynamic and driven individual with a strong ability to structure complex tasks and see the bigger picture. Your curiosity and quick learning enable you to adapt to new technologies with ease, always striving for continuous improvement. With a problem-solving mindset and sharp analytical skills, you tackle challenges head-on and turn them into opportunities. Your positive energy is contagious—you motivate both yourself and those around you. Combined with your excellent communication skills, you can build strong relationships and drive collaboration forward.
In addition, you have:
- A master’s degree or Ph.D. in Engineering Mathematics Computer Science, Engineering Physics, Software Engineering or equivalent education.
- Extensive experience in system simulation within the automotive industry, preferably working with Volvo in-house applications GSP, VSIM, or other system simulation platforms.
- Rigid understanding of software development and software architecture.
- Good understanding and working experience in virtual testing approaches, industry standards and industry best practices for simulations and virtual testing activities.
- Experience in the tools MATLAB/Simulink, and Python.
- Model integration workflow and FMI standards experience.
It is considered a merit if you have experience in continuous integration and delivery, model file versioning and storage (Bitbucket, GIT), as well as database management familiarity. Knowledge and experience in GT-Suite, Applied Intuition or other 1D tools for system simulation is a plus.
