Let's introduce ourselves

At Volvo Cars, we are on a mission to provide freedom to move in a personal, sustainable, and safe way. As our vehicles become increasingly software-defined, the ability to develop, test, and validate software efficiently is critical.

• Support application teams in adapting and debugging their software on emulator platforms
• Ensure the emulator platform reuses existing shared VCC software stack
• Ensure feature parity between emulator and hardware platforms
• Adapt and maintain SELinux policies for emulator environments
