Harman is looking for a Validation Intern in Bangalore to test infotainment and instrument cluster systems on the bench and in vehicles (Job ID 33314).

| Company | Harman (HARMAN Automotive) |
| Role | Validation Intern, Students and Trainees (33314) |

What the role involves
The posting describes the day to day work as:
- Manual validation of infotainment and instrument cluster, at bench and vehicle level.
- Finding, logging and maintaining defects through exploratory and regression testing.
- Owning test case engineering: maintaining existing test suites and adding exploratory cases after each release.
- Analysing reported problems, verifying bugs and tracking them.
- Running reviews to keep quality high.
- Handling vehicle testing and manual testing requests, and supporting vehicle drive tests and long drive tests with the customer.
- Running automated test cases in automation environments.
So it is mostly hands-on manual testing, with some automation exposure and time on actual vehicles.
What makes a strong fit
From the posting: good knowledge of software testing concepts, a technical degree, a habit of learning on your own, the ability to follow instructions in a team, and sound problem solving. Hands-on experience with code, debugging and troubleshooting is listed as a bonus.
Who it suits
A final year or recent graduate in CSE or ECE who enjoys finding bugs and is happy to work with hardware. If you prefer pure coding work, compare the Qualcomm Interim Engineering Intern role or the Nokia Student Intern opening in Bangalore.
How to stand out
These are suggestions rather than Harman's process:
- Learn the testing basics well: test case design, severity versus priority, bug life cycle, regression versus smoke testing.
- Write a few sample test cases for something familiar, such as a car music player, and be ready to discuss edge cases.
- Pick up basic Python or C so you can read a test script, since automation is part of the job.
- Read about infotainment and instrument clusters at a general level. Showing curiosity about the product helps in an interview.
- Be honest about drive tests: ask what the travel and schedule look like.
Check before you apply
- Pay, internship length and last date are not stated.
- Vehicle and long drive testing may involve travel and irregular hours. The posting does not describe the schedule.
- Check that your college accepts this internship for credit if you need that.
