Insights from the team

The team works with estimating vehicle trajectories using sensors such as camera and lidar. Algorithm development, testing and deployment is part of our daily work. This includes C++ programming of geometric computer vision methods to deliver high embedded performance, while following the latest trends in the industry.

We develop tests and metrics to evaluate the status of our algorithms as well as tools for visualization and benchmarking. We test our algorithms in real vehicles, continuously integrating with other teams in the vision area and the rest of Zenseact. Sharing knowledge through collaboration and investigations of new and interesting topics is important to us.

We are a small, compact, and experienced team who are technically skilled and have a solid theoretical foundation with a focus on making it real. We base our work on evidence from data, are result oriented, and pragmatic. We work in a flexible setup where the team decides when to work from home or when to meet in the office depending on the need.

As team members we believe that we are good at compromising, open minded, accountable, knowledgeable, speak up, and have a quality mindset. If you are willing to express your opinions, work collaboratively, share knowledge, take initiatives, and are accountable, then you will fit right into our culture.

More about Zenseact

Our software makes a difference.
Using AI-based technology to create the ultimate driver support, we’re fighting to end car accidents and make roads safe for everyone. Every year, around 1,4 million people die in traffic while approximately 50 million people get injured. Many get disabled as a result of their injury. We can do better.

One purpose, one product.
We’re a software company dedicated to revolutionizing car safety. By designing the complete software stack for autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems, we’re fighting to end car accidents and make roads safe for everyone. Zenseact was founded by Volvo Cars, and the teams are based in Gothenburg and Lund, Sweden, Munich in Germany and Shanghai, China. When we aim for zero accidents faster, we strive to speed up the transition to safe automation. This is essentially achieved by making cars updatable – like a computer or a phone. With regular software updates, a vehicle can be made safer long after its production. By accelerating improvement loops, shortening development cycles, and deploying high-capacity software quickly, we can make cars safer, and faster.

Culture with people at heart
To achieve our mission of saving lives and ending traffic accidents we must go where nobody has before. It requires us to venture into the unknown, pioneering new technology and pushing the frontier of autonomous driving. While there’s no denying our determination and expertise, we must stand united to succeed. By fostering a culture of support and enablement – a place of psychological safety where all of us can thrive – everything else will follow. We call this a people-at-heart culture. This culture means caring. It means the company cares about me, and we care about one another. It means sharing, so we give each other energy and have fun together. Our culture is also about belonging. It’s important to feel at home and that we can be ourselves at work. Finally, a people-at-heart culture means well-being. So, we enjoy the flexibility needed to be and do our best – at work and in life. 

Zenseact works proactively to create a culture of diversity and inclusion, where individual differences are appreciated and respected. To drive innovation we see diversity as an asset, which means we value and respect differences in gender, race, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age, etc.
