Build software that saves lives 

At Zenseact, you won’t just practice coding or analyse data in isolation. You’ll be part of building real software that helps prevent accidents and makes roads safer – for millions of people. 

Our 12-week summer job gives you hands-on experience in autonomous driving and advanced driver-assistance systems, while learning from experienced engineers, researchers, and mentors who care about both technology and people. 

Whether you’re into software development, AI, data, systems, or visualization, there’s room here for your curiosity, creativity, and perspective. Our Gothenburg office is Zenseact’s main hub, located at Lindholmen Science Park. Here, around 500 Zenseactians work across eight floors – all focused on different parts of autonomous driving and product development. 

This is a fast-paced, collaborative environment where you’ll be surrounded by experts from many disciplines, working closely together under one roof. If you’re curious, social, and want to experience the full breadth of Zenseact, this is the place to be.

Support, safety & belonging from day one 
We know that new jobs can feel intimidating. That’s why we focus heavily on psychological safety, structure, and support. 

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.
