Volvo Cars have an aspiration to expand its in-house software development. At the department of Core System Software, we are part of this aspiration.

This compute cluster will be launched in our coming generation of pure electric and self-driving Volvo models. Our task is to create a safe, reliable, and secure software that serve as a platform for our stakeholders and partners to deploy and innovate their applications on.

•    Provide training and guidance to software developers and other stakeholders on configuration management policies, procedures, and tools, to foster a culture of quality and collaboration.
