Help build the foundations behind modern AI
What if your master’s thesis could help AI systems understand and learn from the real world more accurately?
At Zenseact, advanced AI depends on more than neural networks. It requires high-quality data, reliable sensors, realistic 3D environments, scalable annotation methods, and efficient tools for experimentation.
Cluster B brings together AI, computer vision, 3D reconstruction, generative models, sensor technology, and data engineering. You will work on a defined research challenge using relevant data and modern methods, contributing knowledge that may support safer and more capable driving technology.
You do not need to know the answer before you begin. What matters is your ability to investigate a problem thoughtfully, learn from evidence, and develop your understanding throughout the thesis.

Your Mission
Every Cluster B thesis combines research with practical experimentation. You will work with real-world data, develop and evaluate methods, analyze results, and contribute insights that may help shape future AI and autonomous-driving systems.
You will have significant ownership of your work while receiving regular guidance from experienced engineers and researchers. Together, you will define a realistic scope, discuss technical choices, and adapt the direction as new evidence emerges.
Depending on your chosen project, your work may include:
Reviewing relevant scientific literature
Preparing and analyzing image, LiDAR, point-cloud, or annotation data
Designing and implementing experiments
Training or adapting models and 3D representations
Defining suitable baselines, metrics, and evaluation methods
Investigating performance, limitations, and failure cases
Documenting your work and presenting your conclusions
