Software Architect to Autoliv

Software Architect to Autoliv
Do you want to save lives? At Autoliv, we believe that no one should have to be seriously injured or lose their life in a traffic accident. Every day we strive for this conviction by developing and manufacturing innovative products of superior quality. Because when people can feel safe while they are traveling, they can also live life to the fullest. We believe in cooperation and therefore we work closely with our customers and suppliers. Our teams are cross functional and work in a global context.
We are expanding our team at the Global Innovation Center in Vårgårda and are looking for an engineer with a focus on embedded devices.

About the role
As a Software Architect, you will be responsible for designing and defining the embedded software product architecture for safety-critical automotive applications. You will ensure the architecture meets both product quality requirements and the structure of the V-model development process.
In this role, you will work closely with system engineers, ECU teams, and software platform teams, while collaborating with international colleagues across a global organization. You will support the entire product lifecycle – from specification analysis to architecture design, through development, testing, and implementation. Your main responsibilities include:

• Design and document software architecture in line with product requirements and development methodology.
• Analyze, interpret, and review technical specifications.
• Support development and test teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Ensure correct implementation of the architecture in software components.
• Communicate architectural choices and technical guidelines to internal teams and external suppliers.
• Review and challenge technical solutions proposed by software developers.
• Conduct reviews of development artefacts to ensure quality and compliance with architectural principles.
  
  

About you:
We are looking for a structured and solutions-oriented engineer with strong leadership and communication skills. You thrive in cross-functional and international environments and enjoy tackling complex technical challenges. In your work, you are collaborative and diplomatic, efficient in problem-solving and decision-making, and reliable when it comes to meeting deadlines. You are self-driven and proactive, with a strong motivation to improve methods and processes, while also being flexible and adaptable to shifting priorities and technical changes. As a strong communicator, you can present complex topics in a clear and accessible way.

Relevant Experience

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in software architecture definition.
• Strong knowledge of embedded systems product design.
• Proficiency in design standards such as SysML and UML.
• Experience in functional specification analysis and review.
• Familiarity with architecture tools (Enterprise Architect is a plus).
• Ability to design clear and effective architecture that supports the needs of both development and test teams.
• Experience from the automotive industry.
• Experience with Classic AUTOSAR.
• Background in safety-critical systems and ISO 26262.
• Excellent command of English, both spoken and written (Swedish is a plus).
