PreAct Technologies aims to bridge the gap between collision avoidance systems and active safety technology. Every millisecond matters before a crash, and our patent-pending suite of sensor technologies, computing systems and unique countermeasure algorithms aim to drastically reduce fatalities and injuries in a crash.
Our Portland-based firm leverages existing vehicle infrastructure to predict and prepare both a vehicle and its occupants for an imminent collision. This alone can reduce a majority of injuries from the most common types of crashes while saving the industry billions annually.
Benefits
Enjoy an informal, friendly work environment. We offer competitive salaries and a generous medical benefits package for our employees and their dependents. 401K, 3 weeks of vacation, 14 paid holidays and one week of sick leave. Life insurance, short-term, and long-term disability insurance provided.
