Emerging Technologies for Ubiquitous Vehicle Connectivity — Safe, Smart, and Secure
Senior Technology Scouting & Partnership Manager at HARMAN Automotive
Munich, Germany
About
HARMAN is exploring future-ready connectivity architectures that guarantee continuous, low-latency, and cyber-secure communication across heterogeneous networks. The challenge is to integrate AI-driven network orchestration, edge-cloud collaboration, and software-defined infrastructures into a unified connectivity layer.
We seek innovations in:
-
Multi-domain communication: Seamless switching across 5G/6G, Wi-Fi 7, and LEO satellite networks.
-
AI-assisted networking: Predictive link management and self-optimizing connectivity stacks.
-
Edge compute integration: Distributed processing and orchestration between vehicle ECUs and cloud.
-
SDV infrastructure: Virtualized network functions, OTA services, and zonal architectures.
-
Cybersecurity & resilience: Zero-trust frameworks, post-quantum encryption, and ISO/SAE 21434 compliance.
HARMAN is looking for engineering teams and startups in AI networking, edge systems, and secure SDV frameworks to build the next generation of connected vehicle platforms.
