Do you want to broaden your own skills by working with extremely talented colleagues? Then this role is for you - read on! 

Insights from the team

Zenseact is a proud provider of trusted Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and next generation Autonomous Drive (AD) features for consumer vehicles. Our team in the Emergency Trajectory Planning & Decision Making area is looking for its next team member! The team is one of the area's four small agile and autonomous teams working on collision avoidance by intervening through braking and/or steering when the active driver (or system) is deemed unable to handle the situation.

Put more simply, our goal is to save lives by breaking and/or steering the vehicle. Our joint mission is to go to zero faster, as in zero car accidents, saving millions of lives and millions of people from injury - every year.

In this team, we are responsible for developing the Autonomous Emergency Brake feature. The AEB supports the driver of the vehicle by braking to avoid collision.

We are based in Gothenburg, Sweden, looking for a talented Software Engineer to become our new team member.

Your mission and day-to-day tasks

Short term you and the team will be heavily focused on implementing and updating the AEB feature to fulfill the product goals. This includes, but is not limited to

• Writing production code and tests in C++ for safety critical real-time embedded systems
• Testing your code in CI, for example through unit tests and simulations
• Deploying your code in vehicles and go out for in-car testing
• Improve automation, development environments and infrastructure - We do much of this in Python
• Plan and execute the work together with the team
• Analyzing data from tests, simulations and in-car testing to find bugs and areas of improvements

Long-term you and the team will also work on improving existing features, as well as developing new features, to enable even more and safer autonomy. This includes, but is not limited to creating new and better algorithms for safe trajectory planning. Analyzing and using log data from customer vehicles to further understand and prioritize feature development areas like Autonomous Emergency Brake.

Qualifications & experience

Essential experience

• At least 2- 5 years hands-on SW development experience.
• Skilled in C++/C++17/C++11/C++14.
• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in a field such as Software Engineering, Computer Science or similar.
• Enjoy working in a team-based organization with people from different cultures.
• Enjoy driving tasks to completion.

Nice to have

• Background or interest in Trajectory planning and decision control.
• Experience from automotive industry.
• Autonomous Emergency Brakes product experience
• Embedded Software Development with C++ is a big plus
• Driver's license - we do real-time tests in our vehicles
• Knowledge of software design patterns and architectures
• Experience in embedded development

What more do we offer?

Flexible-remote way of working: Zenseact has a flexible and modern approach, thus is happy to offer to its employees the possibility for a combination of work at the office and from home. This doesn't include fully remote work from outside Sweden/China.

More about Zenseact

At Zenseact we want to make safe and intelligent mobility real, for everyone, everywhere. We develop the complete software stack for ADAS and AD, from pixel to torque. Our focus is to build a single cutting-edge software platform in order to serve various levels of autonomy and offer unequaled scalability at the same time. We operate out of Gothenburg, Sweden and Shanghai, China. Zenseact’s first self-driving deployment will be launched on the next-generation vehicle platform from Volvo Cars and Polestar.

Every year, 1.350.000 people are killed in traffic accidents, another 55.000.000 people are injured. With the push of our technology and the use of our software, we can move towards zero, faster. That's our purpose and that's why we get up in the morning.  We feel that is a goal worth pursuing.

But technology, software, tools and datasets would not mean much without the best people behind the wheel to drive them. At Zenseact, some five hundred of the best engineering minds globally, stationed across two continents, are collaborating with the same passion: to bring autonomous driving to the streets for real and create a safer journey for everyone. This is part of our culture and how we work, develop and grow together.

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.

Interviews are held on a continuous basis, so we highly recommend that you submit your application at your earliest convenience.
