Software Engineering Intern - Vehicle Controls

When software-defined vehicles accelerate, manage battery temperature during fast charge, activate body controls, respond to steering input, or detect a system fault, the embedded software making that possible was built by a vehicle controls team. As a Vehicle Controls intern, you will work on embedded software or controls algorithms for one of several vehicle domains, including propulsion and dynamics, energy storage and charging, thermal and HVAC systems, body controls, functional safety, or systems engineering and test automation supporting these domains.

Specific project areas vary by team and may include:

- Implementing and validating embedded software for battery management, charging, or energy distribution systems

- Developing controls software for thermal and HVAC systems, body controls, or lighting

- Contributing to vehicle dynamics or propulsion controls algorithms

- Supporting functional safety analysis and requirements for safety critical vehicle software

- Building and running automated tests in Unit, Software in the Loop, or Hardware in the Loop environments

- Working on systems engineering tasks such as requirements definition, architecture, or homologation

- Design, implement, and test embedded software or controls algorithms for an assigned vehicle domain

- Write production quality code in C or C++, with Python used for test tooling

- Collaborate with systems engineers and test engineers to validate features before deployment

- Support test execution in SIL, HIL, or bench environments and help debug issues that arise

- Communicate progress and technical tradeoffs to your team throughout the internship

Minimum

- Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's program at an accredited US university

- Proficiency in C or C++, with some exposure to Python
