  • You must be pursuing a degree or certification whose curriculum is related to the proposed assignments.
  • You must provide a tripartite internship agreement signed by the educational institution, Lucid Motors, and the intern.
  • You must be available for six months starting in February 2027.
  • You must be in the final year of an engineering school program or in Master 2, preparing a Bac+5 qualification, in computer science, embedded systems, software engineering, operating systems, electronics and industrial computing, or a related technical field.
  • Good programming skills in C++ and/or Python are desirable for the role.
  • Knowledge of Linux is expected.
  • An interest in embedded systems, operating systems, and complex software architectures is expected.
  • Knowledge of Git and continuous integration and deployment principles is expected.

Responsibilities

  • Design and prototype a virtualized development, integration, and validation environment for an automotive infotainment platform.
  • Study virtualization approaches applicable to embedded automotive infotainment systems.
  • Design a Software-in-the-Loop virtual platform prototype that reproduces selected infotainment system functions.
  • Evaluate technologies such as QEMU/KVM, Docker, Linux containers, and Android Virtual Device for the targeted components.
  • Develop simulated services or virtual electronic control units to reproduce system interactions.
  • Contribute to a Digital Twin prototype that reproduces representative platform behaviors and failure scenarios.
  • Analyze dependencies among Android, Linux or QNX, the board support package, middleware, and system services used by applications.
  • Develop tools to automate build, integration, deployment, and validation activities.
  • Automate compatibility checks following changes to the software baseline or platform updates.
  • Integrate the virtual environment into a CI/CD pipeline to enable earlier and more frequent platform validation.
  • Document the architecture, technical choices, results, and recommendations.
  • Demonstrate how virtualization can shorten the time between a software change and its evaluation, detect integration problems earlier, facilitate reproduction and analysis of anomalies, automate part of platform validation, and reduce dependence on limited physical equipment or vehicle availability.
  • Collaborate with experienced software engineers and international teams, including teams in the United States.
  • Use English regularly to collaborate with US-based engineering teams, participate in technical meetings, and consult or produce software documentation.
  • Present the prototype results and recommendations to relevant teams.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior knowledge of virtualization, emulation, or containerization.
  • Prior knowledge of QEMU/KVM.
  • Prior knowledge of Docker or Linux containers.
  • Prior knowledge of Android or Android Automotive.
  • Prior knowledge of QNX.
  • Prior knowledge of board support packages and middleware.
