Volvo Group Hiring for Logistics Business & Data Analyst, Volvo Autonomous Solutions Job at Greensboro, NC Full Time

Logistics Business & Data Analyst at Volvo Autonomous Solutions
Imagine yourself on your way to work on a regular Tuesday morning. You didn’t have time to drink your coffee, you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and the entire morning is just being a complete pain. You are stressed, you are late and you have that meeting in just 20 minutes that you have to get to. You also just remembered that you forgot the stove on from making your breakfast and you just can’t leave it on and you have to go back home to turn it off.

But… wait! We are in the future! The stove switches itself off, your autonomous vehicle turns on and you just sit back and drink the coffee that you made to go on your way to the meeting. You arrive calm and relaxed and you even had time to read through your notes. And on top of everything, you nail it on that important meeting! All of this is thanks to autonomous solutions that are becoming the norm.
