Are you interested to provide the best Software development toolchain in the automotive business?
We are looking for you who thinks the current way of working is always too inefficient! That if we just changed the build system or had a different unit test framework, everything would go much faster.
We believe working with Software is a creative process and it should be fast! The engineers should focus on the technical challenges of our products and not the shortcomings of our development tools or processes. Our mission is to provide the best development toolchain in the automotive business for our Software Developers in Volvo Group Trucks Technology. And by this we can bring new products to the market quicker than our competition. The developer experience is an important part here. It does not matter how well individual tools perform if there are breaks or time-consuming manual intervention required in the end-to-end flow. Understanding the developer’s work situation is the key to success.

The backlog for those teams is brought up from our stakeholders, feedback from the developers in Volvo Group so it can have very different features that needs a solution. The main goal is to improve the developer experience and align our toolchains to create an efficient toolchain. First in the backlog was a big feature to help our streams to adapt their current toolchain to use Targetlink for code generation. This is an example of what can be in the backlog of our Tool and Automation teams.
The teams are working according to the Agile/SCRUM principles with recurring sprint planning’s and a product backlog. The team is an integral part of the larger Software Factory group, also including a Continuous Integration team.
Your role will be to lead those teams as a Product Owner, you will be the driver in collecting the needs from our stakeholders and secure that we make a future proof solution that will support our way to a highly efficient toolchain for our software developers at Volvo Group Trucks Technology.
