About The Role

You will join the HARMAN Intelligent Cockpit organization supporting the Ready Vision Augmented Reality software platform by maintaining and improving the CI/CD and integration ecosystem that enables stable, predictable builds, tests, and deliveries.

This is a 6-month internship (full-time or part-time) with a hybrid working model; on-site preferred (Bucharest) due to close collaboration with engineering teams and integration workflows.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience operating and improving CI/CD pipelines and integration workflows in complex, container-based environments.
• Mentorship from experienced engineers and exposure to real automotive-grade engineering processes and tooling.
• Practical opportunities to apply AI-assisted productivity in debugging, scripting, reporting, and documentation while keeping quality and validation as first principles.
• Potential pathway to a long-term role based on performance and business needs.

What You Will Do

• Maintain, debug, and extend the Continuous Integration system and project-specific integration tools for complex software environments including containers
• Support and improve the integration workflow to ensure stable and predictable build and delivery processes

• Review integration candidates based on integration schedule, smoke test results, overall project stability, launch-ability and configuration correctness
• Communicate with internal users and stakeholders regarding Continuous Integration functionality, issues, and improvements
• Ensure that engineering processes operate effectively and conform to the defined tooling, standards, and development approaches
• Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate troubleshooting, scripting, test/report drafting, and documentation updates – always validating outputs and handling data responsibly.

What You Need To Be Successful

• Strong fundamentals in Computer Science, Algorithms and Data Structures
• Good knowledge of Python and shell scripting
• Proficiency in Linux OS environments.
• Proficiency with version control systems (Git preferred).
• Working knowledge of C++ and CMake (sufficient to support build/integration workflows).
• Teamwork mindset and strong collaboration habits.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted tools to improve productivity in DevOps workflows (debugging, scripting, analysis, documentation) with disciplined validation.
• Evidence of excellence through meaningful projects (CI/CD pipelines, containers, Linux tooling, automation scripts) and disciplined execution.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience in Automotive and/or Embedded Systems
• Familiarity with REST API and webhooks

What Makes You Eligible

• Hybrid working model; on-site preferred (Bucharest).
• Fluent written and spoken English; high sense of responsibility; strong communication skills.
