Embedded in a worldwide network Mercedes-Benz Research & Development North America continuously strives to remain at the forefront of successful automotive research and development. MBRDNA is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, with key areas of Autonomous Driving, Advanced Interaction Design, Digital User Experience, Machine Learning, Customer Research, and Open Innovation. In Farmington Hills, Michigan, the focus is on Powertrain and eDrive technology as well as in Long Beach, where the teams test durability of the latest driver assistant and telematic systems. The Digital Hub in Seattle focusses on developing a cloud architecture and building out the cloud platform for the next generation of connected car services. The Testing and Regulatory Affairs Division in Ann Arbor and the Advanced Vehicle Design in Carlsbad complete the competence center.
Process scheduling as well as inter process communication are essential parts of an autonomous driving system. As leader in autonomous driving systems, Mercedes-Benz is on the forefront in the area. In the middleware team, the role will support and drive algorithmic and software development of offline tools to leverage our platform for level L2-L4 autonomous vehicles. Depending on the candidate’s strengths the internship can focus on different topics: front-end (software system parsing), back-end (web UI) or contributing to the static scheduling algorithms in distributed systems.
