Key Responsibilities

As a Graduate Intern, you will work closely with senior engineers and be an active member of the development and testing team, focusing on the following key areas:

1. Software Development and Implementation

• Code Development: Assist in the development and modification of embedded C firmware for specific Electronic Control Unit (ECU) functions, adhering to coding standards (e.g., MISRA C).

• Module Integration: Help integrate software modules (e.g., drivers, communication stacks, application code) into the main ECU software build.

• Documentation: Maintain clear and concise documentation for the developed code modules and configurations.

• Configuration: Learn and assist in the configuration of AUTOSAR or similar basic software layers (BSW) components.

2. Testing, Debugging, and Quality Assurance

• Unit Testing: Develop and execute basic Unit Tests for individual software components to ensure functional correctness.

• Debugging: Utilize debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, in-circuit emulators) to identify, analyze, and resolve simple software defects/bugs in the embedded code.

• Integration Testing: Support the team during integration testing phases, verifying the interaction between different software and hardware components.

• Test Scripting: Write and maintain simple Python or similar scripts to automate repetitive testing tasks and process test data.

3. Hardware & Communication Support

• Setup & Environment: Assist in setting up and maintaining the hardware benches, development boards, and testing environments (e.g., flashing the ECU, verifying power supply).

• Data Analysis: Monitor and capture vehicle network communication data (e.g., CAN messages) using tools like CANoe/CANalyzer for diagnostic and validation purposes.

• Troubleshooting: Perform initial triage on hardware-software integration issues observed during testing.

4. AI Tool Deployment Support:

• Programming Languages: MATLAB Strong proficiency required. Ability to use the Database Toolbox and Statistics & Machine Learning Toolbox.

• Python: Essential for understanding legacy scripts, data conversion pipelines, and Jupyter Notebooks on GCP

• Key Responsibilities: Tooling & Automation Support: Assist in the validation and deployment of in-house or commercial AI/ML-based tools used for code analysis, testing, or quality assurance pipelines.

5. Learning and Process Adherence

• Process Compliance: Understand and adhere to the established automotive development lifecycle (e.g., V-Model) and quality processes.

• Continuous Learning: Actively participate in training sessions and mentorship programs to rapidly acquire domain knowledge in automotive electronics and industry standards (e.g., ISO 26262, ASPICE).

• Reporting: Clearly report work status, issues, and test results to the assigned mentor/supervisor.

Hands-on Experience / Project Exposure

Candidates should highlight any experience in the following areas:

• Academic Projects using microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any 8/16/32-bit MCU.

• Building and debugging simple embedded firmware from scratch.

• Developing Python scripts for data processing or simple automation tasks.

• Exposure to basic circuit design and prototyping (e.g., soldering, breadboarding).

• Participation in Technical Competitions or Hackathons related to robotics or embedded systems.Candidates should highlight experience in:

Soft Skills (Essential for Intern Success)

These skills are crucial for thriving in a professional team environment:

• Strong Analytical and Problem-Solving Abilities: Ability to logically approach and debug complex problems.
