Job Summary
Thesis Worker at Volvo Cars
Welcome to explore the world of Volvo Cars by writing your thesis with us! As a thesis worker in our organization you are supported by a supervisor who follows you during your project. Through your thesis work you will be able to contribute to our company purpose providing freedom to move in a safe sustainable and personal way from day one!
About this opportunity - Background
To build the driving automation features of the future it is important to combine multiple sensor observations. However it is not always trivial what is the most effective approach to combine different modalities. Therefore the purpose of this thesis project is to explore the combined usage of different sensor observations (e.g. video time-series data). The scope of the thesis can be adjusted to suit your masters program and interests and you will get to formulate the final research questions in cooperation with us.
Scope of the thesis work
To motivate the choices of your research we will start with a literature review to understand what methods and procedures have been applied in previous studies to extend or align different modalities (e.g. Imagebind or XFusion). After that we will refine together what kind of experiments could be interesting on two open-source naturalistic driving datasets. An example approach could be to first evaluate pre-trained foundation models followed by evaluating (self-supervised) modeling approaches from scratch and lastly evaluating how to combine the various modalities most effectively for multiple downstream tasks.
What youll bring
You are currently enrolled as a student in the final year of a masters degree in computer science artificial intelligence data science or a related quantitative field. You must be able to program in Python (PyTorch and Transformers) and experience in machine learning is desired. As you will become part of the analytics and artificial intelligence team within the research and development department of Volvo Cars we expect you to work a few days per week at our office in Gothenburg.
Duration
The thesis work will start in January 2026 for 20 weeks conducted by a pair of two students and in agreement with your university supervisor the project should be 30 ECTS (academic credits).
