Description & Requirements

Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Automotive

We’re a global, multi-disciplinary team that’s putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. At HARMAN Automotive, we give you the keys to fast-track your career.

• Engineer audio systems and integrated technology platforms that augment the driving experience

• Combine ingenuity, in-depth research, and a spirit of collaboration with design and engineering excellence

• Advance in-vehicle infotainment, safety, efficiency, and enjoyment

About the Role

As an intern in our Connectivity organization, you will contribute to embedded software development for Telematics Control Units (TCUs) for European customers — from implementing features and unit tests to debugging system behavior and supporting integration quality.

This is a 6‑month internship (full‑time or part‑time) designed for final‑year students with strong fundamentals, a hands‑on mindset, and the ambition to grow fast.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands‑on experience with production-grade embedded software in an automotive environment

• Mentorship, technical learning sessions, and structured feedback are part of our internship program framework

• Exposure to system-level problem solving (robustness, stability, timing) and quality practices used in automotive development

• Potential pathway to a long‑term role based on performance and business needs

What You Will Do

• Implement embedded C++ functionality and write unit / white-box tests based on design documentation

• Debug and improve software quality: bug fixing, maintenance, and incremental feature additions across existing embedded code

• Analyze issues related to time response, stability, and robustness at component and system level; support root-cause investigations.

• Contribute to connectivity/networking-related work (e.g., understanding traffic flows, interfaces, logs, and failure modes in connected systems)

• Demonstrated AI‑assisted productivity (prompting, tool usage, automation mindset) applied to real engineering tasks such as log triage, code comprehension, unit testing, or documentation — without compromising quality or confidentiality

What You Need to Be Successful

• Final year (or close to graduation) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, IT, or similar

• Solid C++ fundamentals in an embedded context.

• Linux fundamentals (command line, basic tooling, debugging mindset)

• Networking fundamentals (TCP/IP basics, client-server concepts, packet/log-driven troubleshooting mindset)

• Strong English communication skills (written & spoken)

• Strong academic results and/or meaningful technical projects (personal, university, competitions, open-source)

Bonus Points if You Have

• Any exposure to automotive/telematics systems

• Practical debugging experience (logs, traces, reproducible defect isolation)

Working Model / Eligibility

• Hybrid working model; on‑site preferred (Bucharest) based on project and integration needs

• Availability for the full 6‑month internship period (full‑time or part‑time)

What We Offer

• Flexible work environment, allowing for full-time remote work globally for positions that can be performed outside a HARMAN or customer location

• Access to employee discounts on world-class products (JBL, HARMAN Kardon, AKG, and more)

• Extensive training opportunities through our own HARMAN University

• Competitive wellness benefits

• Tuition reimbursement

• “Be Brilliant” employee recognition and rewards program

• An inclusive and diverse work environment that fosters and encourages professional and personal development
