R&D Intern: Connected Vehicle QoE & 5G Systems

General Motors; Warren (MI); Hybrid; USD 34,000 - 44,000; Full time

Job summary

General Motors in Warren, MI invites an internship to advance secure, scalable vehicle infotainment via 5G/6G QoE-aware system design. You will analyze cellular performance, design QoE-focused algorithms, and prototype end-to-end vehicle-cloud/edge solutions in GM test vehicles.

The role requires pursuing a Master or PhD, current student status, and full-time summer availability. Hybrid work in Warren, MI with data-driven testing and collaboration across teams.

Qualifications

• Pursuit of a Master or PhD degree.
• Must be a current student.
• Able to work fulltime, 40 hours per week during the summer months.
• Background in mobile networks and wireless communications, particularly on Cloud/Edge computing and 4G/5G/6G standards.
• Knowledge in end-to-end system design and optimization, and protocols on handling heavy data delivery.
• Experience in commonly used tools in handling video data, e.g., Gstreamer, ffmpeg, etc.
• Software engineering skills such as C++, C#, Java/Kotlin and/or Python as well as understanding of multithreading programming and real time system development. Strong in data-driven analytics
• Highly motivated to conduct quality work, independent in thinking and able to actively communicate with team members.
• Excellent communication skills in writing and verbal communication.

Responsibilities

• Understand the current status of cellular network, including deployment and communication performance.
• Algorithm design to address QoE degradation as hinted by cellular communication performance issues, including latency reduction, service continuity, service smoothness and if necessary minimum QoE sacrifice.
• Vehicle and Cloud/Edge end-to-end system design in support of the design algorithms to ensure QoE.
• Implement and test an end-to-end system in GM test vehicles, demonstrating efficacy of the system design and algorithmic contribution. Actively document and potentially further improve ideas generated while working on the system.
• Extensively evaluate system performance using a data-driven approach with good test scenario coverage.
• Practice forward-thinking, be comprehensive in system and algorithmic design, foresee research challenges and proactively identify solutions.
