Job description

Autonomous Driving Intern

Isuzu Technical Center of America is seeking an Autonomous Driving Intern to join its operations in Plymouth, MI, for Summer 2026. The selected candidate will be placed with a preferred agency for employment.

Isuzu Technical Center of America (ITCA) is seeking a highly motivated Autonomous Driving Intern to support ITCA advanced engineering team in the development and integration of Level 4 autonomous driving technologies. In this role, the intern will work closely with Isuzu internal teams and Silicon Valley-based partner companies on white-box development projects, gaining hands-on experience in the validation and deployment of autonomous systems. The intern will assist in tasks such as requirement analysis, system integration, software testing, and performance evaluation. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of vehicle engineering and cutting-edge autonomous technology within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

Principal Duties & Responsibilities
  • Monitor and analyze autonomous vehicle virtual and on-road testing results submitted by external partners, identify root causes of disengagements, and contribute to bug tracking and resolution.
  • Review pull request submitted by external partner teams and perform code-level assessment to verify performance impacts of proposed software changes. Support requirement traceability by mapping software changes to functional and system-level requirements.
  • Track and document the daily technical progress, including code updates, open issues, blockers, and development milestones with JIRA dashboards and Confluence pages.
  • Assist with system integration and validation of autonomous driving (perception, planning, and control) features on OEM vehicle platforms. Participate in software integration testing, both in simulation and on physical test vehicles.
Organizational Relationships
  • Reports to: Manager, Autonomous Driving
Education, Experience & Training
  • Master's degree or above in Robotics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Electronic Engineering, or related fields, with extensive experience in autonomous driving algorithm development across perception, planning, and control.
  • Expert-level candidates should demonstrate technical leadership and/or publications in top-tier academic conferences.
  • Candidates must have a GPA of 3.6 or higher on a 4.0 scale
  • Prior industry experience in robotics or autonomous driving is preferred
Knowledge
  • Basics of robotics, including localization, mapping, perception, and control
  • Knowledge of autonomous vehicle architectures and sensor fusion
  • Exposure to middleware frameworks like ROS (Robot Operating System)
  • Understanding of image processing, object detection, or deep learning
Skills & Abilities
  • Proficiency in programming languages: C++, Python, and MATLAB/Simulink/Stateflow
  • Proficiency in robotics-related software: ROS, ROS2, PyTorch, Carla, OpenCV, Autoware, YOLO
  • Proficiency in project & issue tracking tool: JIRA, Confluence
  • Proficiency in version control management tool: GitHub
  • Valid driver license with good record
Physical Standards

The employee must be able to access, enter, and retrieve data using a computer. This is primarily a sedentary position in a controlled office environment which requires only occasional reaching, stooping, and lifting of office files, reports or records, typically weighing 5 lbs. or less. Requires occasional light lifting (5-25 lbs) and on rare occasions, heavy lifting (60 lbs). Must be able on rare occasions to bend, crawl, climb, crouch, kneel and reach above shoulder level in the performance of job duties. Must be able to work in hot and cold weather extremes.
