Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future? If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match. 

Who are we? 
Volvo Autonomous Solutions (VAS) is the business area within Volvo Group that accelerates the development, commercialization, and sales of autonomous solutions. The vision for Volvo Group is to be the most desired and successful transport and infrastructure solution provider in the world. We don’t sell trucks and machines: we operate the solutions through the full life cycle to maximize the improvements achievable through autonomy.

That goes hand in hand with our long-term ambitions: 100% Safe, 100% Fossil free and 100% more productive. The automation of our vehicles is seen as a natural step towards reaching that goal. Joining the Volvo Group means contributing to a large global company that is transforming itself towards these ambitions. We are committed to diversity and inclusion, fostering a team culture where differences are seen as a stepping-stone to better results.

We are now looking for innovative, committed individuals to join us in our endeavor to create customer solutions that enhance safety, flexibility and productivity.

The Vehicle Control and Motion Models team, part of the V.A.S. Technology organization, is responsible for developing core functionalities and providing simulation models for various applications, including autonomous customer solutions. Our work spans the entire product lifecycle—from early specification and development to maintenance and quality assurance during customer operations.

We collaborate closely with colleagues at Group Trucks Technology (GTT) and Volvo Construction Equipment (VCE) to ensure base vehicle and machine readiness. Once prepared, we develop and integrate onboard autonomous driving systems, ensuring that vehicles and machines operate safely and efficiently under autonomous control.

Imagine a future where trucks and machines are driving around without a physical operator in the cab. Normal operation is completely autonomous, and vehicles are stopping automatically for electrical charging. Everything is under surveillance from a central control tower, where operators can teleoperate vehicles based on video feedback when needed. This will change people’s daily work environment and eliminate dangerous work conditions.
