Summer Engineering Program 2026 - Munich office

Build AI for safer mobility — right in the heart of Munich

Looking for a summer job where you’re trusted early, work close to the technology, and feel part of something real?

At Zenseact Munich , you’ll join a small, international AI-focused team working on software that helps make cars safer. This is a paid summer job where you contribute to real development work — not a side project, not observation from the sidelines.

Our Munich office is a growing AI hub with around 15 colleagues, located centrally in the city. You’ll work closely with engineers in Sweden while enjoying the autonomy, ownership, and closeness that comes with a smaller team.

What you might work on

Depending on your interests and background, your summer could include:

• Working with Python on real, production-adjacent AI and perception code
• Supporting model training tasks , data preparation, and experimentation
• Exploring computer vision and perception problems in autonomous driving
• Analyzing large datasets to understand system behavior and performance
• Collaborating closely with engineers and researchers across countries

You won’t deploy vehicle software — but you will work close to the models and data that power it.

Why Munich?

This office has a startup-like feel inside a global company .

You’ll notice:

• Short decision paths and high ownership
• Close collaboration across roles
• Room to take initiative and shape how things are done
• A genuinely international team where English is the working language

It’s a great fit if you like autonomy, technical depth, and being seen .

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 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.

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.

Interviews are held continuously, so we highly recommend that you submit your application at your earliest convenience.
