Your new employer Future-Shape
SensFloor® is a worldwide unique sensor system which is installed indoor on large surfaces and enables the tracking of persons in a room. The system offers a wide variety of potential applications in the fields of healthcare, rehabilitation, retail, security and multimedia. Based on intensive research and development activities within this highly interdisciplinary sector, Future-shape has acquired many years of experience in science of materials, sensor technology, radio systems and integration in home automation, alarm and nurse call systems. Through smart analysis algorithms, it is possible to extract consistent and significant activity profiles and gait patterns from high resolution SensFloor data. For this purpose, we also use approaches like artificial neural networks, Deep Learning and IoT.

Flat hierarchies, an open working atmosphere and opportunities for further development are natural for us. A nice team and a modern workplace are expecting you in Munich, one of the biggest innovation locations in Germany!
