Intern - Engineering ADAS Vehicle Integration

Magna International•Auburn Hills, MI

23h•Onsite

About The Position

Magna’s ADAS technologies are shaping an autonomous future and improving lives. The ADAS Intern/Co-op (onsite) primarily supports ADAS vehicle integration by coordinating prototype vehicle activities (build readiness, installations, scheduling support, and issue tracking) across cross-functional teams. The role also supports deployment and use of ROS-based tools as needed. A strong drive to learn, clear communication, and teamwork are essential.

Requirements

Valid driver’s license
Comfortable working hands-on in a garage/vehicle environment (installations, instrumentation, calibration support) and able to follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements.
Enrolled in an engineering degree program (Electrical, Automotive, Mechanical, Robotics/Mechatronics, or Computer Science or equivalent)
Basic Python programming skills (scripts for automation, data handling, and repeatable workflows).
Coursework, projects, or work experience related to ADAS/autonomous systems, sensor integration, or automotive software development.
Basic familiarity with a Linux/Ubuntu development environment and version control (Git) is preferred; willingness to learn is required.
Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team setting (tracking actions, following up, and clearly documenting status).
Demonstrates drive to learn and take ownership.
Familiarity with ADAS/autonomous driving concepts and common sensors (LiDAR, camera, radar, ultrasonic).
Comfortable learning and using new tools and processes to support vehicle integration and coordination (training and mentoring provided as needed).
Troubleshooting and debugging skills (software and basic hardware integration issues).
Good documentation and reporting habits (test logs, build notes, calibration records).
Problem-solving and critical-thinking mindset
Must follow safety procedures for vehicle testing, shop/garage environments, and bench testing environments.
Attention to detail

Nice To Haves

Experience with C++ is a plus.
Experience with vehicle testing and data collection using tools such as Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, dSPACE, ETAS, or similar toolchains.
Experience with vehicle instrumentation and prototype sensor/ECU integration (mounting, harnessing, power/network bring-up) and/or supporting sensor calibration activities.
Exposure to ROS/ROS2 tools (e.g., running existing nodes, basic package structure, RViz/rosbag) and ability to deploy/use ROS-based workflows.
Working knowledge of creating maintainable, reusable scripts/tools (clear inputs/outputs, basic testing, readable documentation) in a team environment.

Responsibilities

Coordinate ADAS prototype vehicle activities across cross‑functional teams (build readiness, scheduling support, parts/tools readiness, stakeholder communication, and issue tracking/closure).
Support prototype vehicle-build activities with the Engineering Services team, including RRS PC installation and related vehicle integration tasks.
Support End-of-Line (EOL) and USS sensor calibration activities as scheduled, and document calibration outcomes and follow-up actions.
Create utilities/tools to support the team (e.g., build/test checklists, data/log organization, basic geometry/FOV calculations, or converting a manual workflow into a repeatable script).
Support engineers in vehicle testing activities as a second person (as required), following safety procedures and test plans, and capturing results, issues, and logs.
Support deployment and use of ROS‑based tools (training will be provided as needed) to assist with sensor feasibility studies and integration workflows.
