Introduction: A Career at HARMAN Automotive

Were a global multi-disciplinary team thats putting the innovative power of technology to work and transforming tomorrow. At HARMAN Automotive we give you the keys to fast-track your career.

• Engineer audio systems and integrated technology platforms that augment the driving experience
• Combine ingenuity in-depth research and a spirit of collaboration with design and engineering excellence
• Advance in-vehicle infotainment safety efficiency and enjoyment.

About the Role

This position is part of HARMAN Automotives Ready Care R&D organization focused on delivering productionready incabin radar features (such as child presence detection and occupant classification) that enhance safety and wellbeing for drivers and passengers. You will drive the endtoend radar feature lifecyclefrom roadmap and requirements through algorithms KPIs verification/validation and series deploymentworking closely with crossfunctional teams including radar hardware (antenna RF) platform/base software and product management. The Ready Care teams mission is to pioneer incabin sensing solutions that monitor eyes mind and vitals for improved mobility experiences.

What You Will Do

• Own the product roadmap technical requirements and feature KPIs for assigned incabin radar features; translate customer requirements regulatory targets and NCAPstyle goals into measurable specifications and acceptance criteria.
• Drive the development of radar algorithms (e.g. rangeDoppler/angle processing CFAR clustering/tracking detection classification) to meet detection falsealarm and latency targets; review and guide implementation quality in C/Python/MATLAB.
• Align crossfunctionally with radar hardware (antenna RF) platform/base software and product teams to ensure robust feature delivery and integration.
• Industrialize the feature with platform and validation teams: define HIL/SIL test coverage regression suites and ontarget profiling; support series integration and change control.
• Quantitatively analyze performance versus radar sensor specifications placement and cabin materials; drive designofexperiments to derisk edge cases and improve robustness over time.
• Champion quality and safety practices aligned with automotive development (requirements traceability issue triage release readiness) collaborating with program management and customers.

What You Need to Be Successful

• Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or related) and 812 years in radar signal processing perception or embedded sensing systems
• Strong background in C/C-based production software development and proficiency in MATLAB / Python
• Deep understanding of FMCW MIMO radar fundamentals (beamforming/DOA rangeDoppler processing calibration clutter and multipath mitigation) and realtime constraints.
• Demonstrated experience taking a feature from concept to series: requirements algorithm prototyping KPIs validation on vehicles and productization on embedded targets.
• Comfort working across lab & vehicle environments with structured test planning data logging and statistical analysis of results.

Bonus Points if You Have

• Experience with machine learning/AI for radar feature development and optimization.
• Familiarity and experience with ASPICE and automotive compliance/assessment landscapes relevant to incabin features.
• Handson with embedded platforms (e.g. Qualcomm NVIDIA ARM Linux); exposure to CI/CD for algorithm evaluation and release.
• Experience with dataset curation/annotation synthetic data and robustness testing under corner cases.

What Makes You Eligible

• Be willing to work in Harman office India (hybrid).
• Be willing to travel 5%
• Successfully complete a background investigation and drug screen as a condition of employment

What We Offer

• Flexible work environment allowing for full-time remote work globally for positions that can be performed outside a HARMAN or customer location
• 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
• Tuition reimbursement
• Be Brilliant employee recognition and rewards program
