Harman

A Career at HARMAN

About the Role

As a Hardware Intern, you will support the hardware engineering team in the design, development, testing, and documentation of automotive infotainment computer systems and platforms. You will work closely with experienced engineers, gaining hands-on experience in a real product development environment while contributing to ongoing projects.

This internship is part of the Ready Upgrade organisation, working on a product-grade, upgradable cockpit platform used to accelerate customer time-to-market.

This is a 6‑month internship (full‑time or part‑time) with a hybrid working model; on‑site preferred due to laboratory and bring‑up activities.

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on exposure to real automotive hardware development (verification, bring‑up, debugging, documentation)

• Mentorship from senior engineers and access to professional lab equipment and tools

• Practical experience using modern, AI‑assisted ways of working to improve engineering efficiency (reports, analysis, documentation) while maintaining engineering validation

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

What You Will Do

• Verification & testing of analogue and digital functional blocks (e.g. power supply, DRAM, SOC)

• Schematic & PCB design dedicated tasks with support from senior engineers

• Support rework, bring-up and HW debugging activities.

• Operate laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, logic analysers, etc.)

• Document test results, maintain engineering documentation (test reports, design files), and provide structured feedback to the team.

• Assist in preparing technical presentations, design reviews, and internal reports

• Signal & Power integrity simulation assisted by a senior engineer.

• Contribute ideas for improving product performance or process efficiency in team meetings

• Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate drafting of test procedures/reports, summarisation of measurement results, and documentation cleanup — always validating outputs with engineering judgment

What You Need to be Successful

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or related fields

• Basic knowledge of analogue and digital electronics

• Schematic & PCB Design basics

• Lab equipment usage & HW debugging basics

• Digital interfaces baseline: familiarity with commonly used interfaces in infotainment systems (UART, I2C, I2S, USB) and the mindset to troubleshoot signals and bring up issues methodically

• Good knowledge of spoken and written English

• Proactivity, structured communication, and strong problem‑solving habits

• Comfortable using AI-assisted tools to accelerate engineering work (documentation, analysis of measurements, report drafting) while validating outputs and handling data responsibly

• Evidence of excellence via meaningful lab work/projects (university, personal projects, competitions) and disciplined documentation habits

Bonus Points if You Have

• Signal & Power Integrity basics

• Basic command shell programming/shell debugging (e.g., routines to control hardware units under the HARMAN operating system)

• Familiarity with schematic and PCB design tools(e.g. Mentor Graphics)

• Knowledge of simulation tools (e.g. LTSpice, Ansys)

What Makes You Eligible

• Hybrid working model; on‑site preferred (Bucharest) due to lab measurements, bring‑up, and hardware debugging activities

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

What We Offer

• Flexible work environment

• Access to employee discounts on world-class Harman and Samsung products (JBL, HARMAN Kardon, AKG, etc.)

• Extensive training opportunities through our own HARMAN University

• Competitive wellness benefits

• “Be Brilliant” employee recognition and rewards program

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