Master Thesis - Enhancing Data Flow Efficiency with AI Agents

Shape the Future of Autonomous Driving with Us!

Why this matters

At Zenseact, we specialize in AI-powered software for autonomous driving, focusing on enhancing data flow efficiency. We manage data flow separately from software feature development, which can lead to challenges in understanding and troubleshooting issues. This complexity can slow down our development processes. The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) presents an exciting opportunity to create AI agents that assist in querying and managing data flow. These agents will empower feature developers to interact with data more seamlessly, enabling them to resolve straightforward issues independently while seeking support when necessary. Our goal is to implement these AI agents to enhance daily operations for our data teams, allowing us to adapt to new requirements and improve our overall data flow architecture. This project offers the chance to engage with innovative technology in the autonomous driving sector.

Your role in the project

In this master’s thesis project, you will:

• Develop AI agents using in-house LLMs to interact with data flow services and tools.
• Explore multi-agent systems and their resource requirements to establish a flexible architecture.
• Assess performance changes following the integration of AI agents.

What we’re looking for

We encourage applications from students who have:

• A foundational understanding of Python programming
• Knowledge of data pipelines
• Familiarity with machine learning and deep learning concepts
• An interest in Large Language Models (LLMs)

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. Around 1,4 million people die in traffic yearly 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, Sweden, 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, faster.

Culture with people at heart To achieve our mission of saving lives and ending traffic accidents is to 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. Interviews are held on a continuous basis, so we highly recommend that you submit your application at your earliest convenience.
