Job Description

We're a global, multi-disciplinary team that's 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 Automotive's Ready Care R&D organization, focused on delivering production-ready in-cabin radar features (such as child presence detection and occupant classification) that enhance safety and well-being for drivers and passengers. You will drive the end-to-end radar feature lifecycle-from roadmap and requirements through algorithms, KPIs, verification/validation, and series deployment-working closely with cross-functional teams including radar hardware (antenna, RF), platform/base software, and product management. The Ready Care team's mission is to pioneer in-cabin 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 in-cabin radar features; translate customer requirements, regulatory targets, and NCAP-style goals into measurable specifications and acceptance criteria.
• Drive the development of radar algorithms (e.g., range-Doppler/angle processing, CFAR, clustering/tracking, detection, classification) to meet detection, false-alarm, and latency targets; review and guide implementation quality in C++/Python/MATLAB.
• Align cross-functionally 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 on-target profiling; support series integration and change control.
• Quantitatively analyze performance versus radar sensor specifications, placement, and cabin materials; drive design-of-experiments to de-risk 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

• Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or related) and 8-12+ 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, range-Doppler processing, calibration, clutter and multi-path mitigation) and real-time 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 in-cabin features.
• Hands-on 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
• An inclusive and diverse work environment that fosters and encourages professional and personal development
