I work for Volvo Cars. It’s not in any way a charity but I believe my work has a mostly positive impact.
Among traditional auto makers were one of the most serious and committed to full electrification by 2030 and 50% electric cars by 2025. We have the same schedule for selling cars online only, so software is not just a cost center or marketing channel, it’s the future of the company.
Volvo Cars creates a significant number of well paying jobs in manufacturing with good working conditions, benefiting local communities. For example, all employees across the globe, across manufacturing and offices, were recently given 24 weeks of paid parental leave (https://www.volvocars.com/intl/about/family-bond/).
We’re hiring in multiple locations https://jobs.volvocars.com
Thanks for the link. Loads of software related positions in CA, but also in Denmark and of course Sweden.
Do Volvo make cars out of Shanghai exclusively these days?
No, manufacturing is across multiple locations globally. We’re building a battery manufacturing plant in Sweden with Northvolt, expected to bring 3000 jobs.
