About The Position

This is an on-site internship opportunity for the 2027 Summer program. 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. Opportunities are available in systems engineering, technology development, system integration, automation and simulation development.

Requirements

Pursuit of a Bachelor's or Master'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 2027 and August 2028
Coursework or project experience in Python or Matlab or embedded microcontrollers.
Able to work fulltime, 40 hours per week

Nice To Haves

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.
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
