While the Munich office is smaller, you’ll be closely connected to a global organization working towards the same mission.</p><hr><h4>📩 How to Apply</h4><p>This is <strong>one of three separate Summer Engineering Program ads</strong> (Gothenburg, Lund, Munich).<br>Please apply <strong>only to the city where you are based</strong>.</p><p>Applications are reviewed continuously.</p><p>If you graduate before summer 2026, we encourage you to explore our full-time opportunities instead.</p><hr><h3>🌟 Final Note</h3><p>You don’t need to have everything figured out.<br>You just need curiosity, care, and the courage to try.</p><p>If you want a summer where you learn fast, contribute for real, and feel included — we’d love to hear from you.</p><p></p><p><strong>More about Zenseact<br></strong></p><p><strong>Our software makes a difference.</strong><br>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.</p><p><strong>One purpose, one product.</strong><br>We’re a software company dedicated to revolutionizing car safety.&nbsp;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,&nbsp;Sweden and Munich in Germany. 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.</p><p><strong>Culture with people at heart</strong><br>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 <strong>people-at-heart culture.&nbsp;</strong>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.&nbsp;</p><figure><img src="https://images.teamtailor-cdn.com/images/s3/teamtailor-production/original-v3/image_uploads/ccb1a96c-4d1a-4c67-a8d9-282685ca9763/original.png" alt="" title="" width="267" height="191" style="width:267px;height:auto;"></figure><p></p><p><em>Zenseact works proactively to create a culture of diversity and inclusion, where individual differences are appreciated and respected.
