Xsens

Xsens develops embedded software and C++ firmware at the intersection of sensors, real-time processing and intelligent applications, converting motion data into usable output for robotics, mobility and human-centered technologies. Its engineering work centres on high-performance firmware that interfaces directly with hardware, together with sensor fusion, sensor interfacing and motion data analytics. Precision and robustness are stated priorities, and teams use modern development tools, including generative AI, to accelerate development and improve code quality.

The company has been a trusted leader in motion capture for decades and continues to invest in sensor fusion innovation. Its technology is used across entertainment and gaming, film and media, and automotive; named partners and customers include Boston Dynamics, Toyota, Electronic Arts, Epic Games and Netflix.

Xsens is headquartered in Enschede, the Netherlands, and is a portfolio company of Francisco Partners. Work is organised in multidisciplinary teams that collaborate closely, with senior engineers providing technical direction and mentorship, and end-to-end ownership from design and implementation through to testing and validation. The company describes its mission as advancing human potential through movement data.
