Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Jägervall is a senior software and system architect with two decades of cross-domain experience, currently co-chairing the Data Expert Group at COVESA and shaping automotive data standards while working as a Senior Software Architect at Bosch in Lund. He combines hands-on architecture, API design and security expertise with practical open-source stewardship—contributing to widely used initiatives like the Vehicle Signal Specification where he refactored signals and expanded the spec to cover electric-range and service indicators. His background spans telecom, medical devices, e-commerce and embedded systems, giving him a rare ability to translate complex domain requirements into interoperable architectures. Comfortable in both technical leadership and collaborative industry forums (W3C, Eclipse SDV), he is as fluent in code and diagrams as he is in stakeholder alignment and governance. An MBA and an M.Sc. in electrical engineering, he often bridges product, process and standards work—an asset when steering cross-organizational data efforts.
