Unified Vehicle Data Platform for Mobility Insights

Senior Technology Scouting & Partnership Manager at HARMAN Automotive

Munich, Germany

About

HARMAN seeks solutions to develop a cloud-native vehicle data platform that aggregates and standardizes data across 20+ OEM ecosystems. The goal is to enable real-time mobility insights by turning vehicles into intelligent IoT nodes that continuously generate, share, and analyze telemetry data.

We are looking for innovations in:

  • Data interoperability: Schema translation and harmonization aligned with standards like COVESA VSS or ISO 20078.

  • Scalable architecture: High-throughput ingestion, event streaming, and elastic cloud storage (e.g., Kafka, Delta Lake).

  • Secure data sharing: APIs with authentication, encryption, and privacy-compliant governance.

  • AI-driven insights: GenAI and analytics models that summarize and correlate mobility patterns in real time.

HARMAN invites startups and engineering teams developing mobility data platforms, distributed analytics, or AI pipelines to co-create a standardized data foundation for connected mobility.
