About Zendar
Zendar develops high-resolution radar imaging systems that enable next-generation safety features and driver-assistance technology that is reliable in all conditions and at sufficiently long range for high speed driving. Zendar has pioneered software-defined radar technology which fuses data streams from multiple sensors to build a more accurate scene and utilizes artificial intelligence models that interpret RF spectrum to understand the environment.
Zendar is headquartered in Berkeley, CA and has additional engineering offices in Germany and France.
Zendar has a diverse and dynamic team of electrical, mechanical, RF, algorithms and software engineers with a deep background in sensing technology. Backed by leading VCs and automotive Tier-1s, Zendar has raised more than $50M in funding and has established strong partnerships with industry leaders. Our team has more than doubled in number over the last year as our technology has gained traction.
