• Automation Framework Engineering: Support the design and development of the Software Integration Testing Automation Framework for proof-of-concept (PoC) platforms and technical demonstrations.
• Hardware-in-the-Loop Test Scripting: Write, execute, and validate automated test cases targeting real microcontroller/microprocessor hardware platforms.
• AI-Assisted Development: Utilize AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, LLMs) to streamline test script generation, code debugging, root-cause issue analysis, and documentation writing.
• Data Serialization & Formatting: Work with structured data formats including JSON, YAML, and CSV for test parameterization and log parsing.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Partner directly with embedded software engineers to interpret application requirements, clarify API implementations, and resolve integration bugs.

Academic Background

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from an undergraduate or graduate degree program in Computer Science, Electronic & Communication Engineering (ECE), Electrical Engineering (EEE), or related technical fields.

Essential Technical Skills

• Automation & Scripting: Strong proficiency in Python and Batch/Shell scripting for writing test scripts and automating execution flows.
• Programming Fundamentals: Familiarity with C/C++ programming and debugging methods.
• Data Formats: Comfort handling data serialization formats (JSON, YAML, CSV).
• Version Control: Hands-on experience with Git (version control workflows).
• AI Tooling: Ability to responsibly leverage AI coding tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, etc.) while independently auditing and validating generated test code.

Bonus / Preferred Qualifications

• Basic understanding of AUTOSAR architecture, Telematics Control Units (TCU), and Input-Output Controllers (IOC).
• Knowledge of Microcontrollers/Microprocessors and Embedded C.
• Understanding of Black Box testing methodologies and software lifecycles (V-Model / Agile).
• Familiarity with CI/CD toolchains (Jenkins) and Git integration.

• Estimated Internship Stipend: ₹30,000 to ₹45,000 per month, depending on degree level (Bachelor’s vs. Master’s) and technical interview evaluation.
• Key Benefits:
  • Direct hands-on experience with Tier-1 automotive embedded hardware and AUTOSAR frameworks.
  • Mentorship from senior automotive software architects at HARMAN.
  • Access to cutting-edge AI-assisted engineering toolchains.
  • Potential conversion pathways to full-time engineering roles (PPO/FTE) upon internship completion.
