Today, we are a team of about 20 members, all working on electric vehicle systems including design engineers, system owners, scrum masters, product owners, and VCB safety managers. The unit is divided into different teams with focus on certain product areas, with interfaces towards other teams at R&D, production, purchasing, service workshop representatives, and the end customer.
