2026 Summer Intern - Autonomous Vehicle Systems and Integration (Bachelors Degree)
About The Position
The AV Systems, Sensing and Integration Team is responsible for developing, integrating, and validating cutting-edge assisted and automated driving capabilities across the entire vehicle lifecycle. Our organization delivers features end-to-end from early requirements and architectural design through full vehicle integration, calibration, validation, and global program launch. We combine deep expertise in sensor hardware, perception , software features, and vehicle systems engineering to ensure safe, reliable, and customer-delighting driving experiences. We are hiring across multiple engineering and technical disciplines that collaborate and work with cross-functional teams. Opportunities available in systems engineering, technology development, system integration, automation and simulation development.
Requirements
- Strong interest in hardware and system design , automated testing, simulation, embedded systems, or related areas.
- Hands-on mindset: you enjoy building, testing, debugging, and learning through doing.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate findings clearly.
- Comfortable working in a team and able to manage multiple tasks towards a deliverable.
- Pursuit of a Bachelor's degree in one of the following areas: Computer Science or Engineering (Electrical, Computer, Mechatronics, System Design, Mechanical, Chemical or equivalent)
- Must be graduating between December 2026 and August 2027
- Coursework or project experience in Python or Matlab or embedded microcontrollers.
- Able to work fulltime, 40 hours per week
Nice To Haves
- Basic understanding of automotive control systems, ADAS features, sensors, or electronics.
- Familiarity with model-based design tools (MATLAB/Simulink) and communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python
- Intent to return to degree-program after the completion of the internship.
Responsibilities
- Define use cases, feature & sensing system requirements, safety goals, performance metrics, and system interactions.
