We run internships because the engineering disciplines we care about (V2X PKI, post-quantum migration, automotive cloud security) are not yet taught at most universities, and we believe practitioners are made by working alongside engineers who have shipped this work. Interns sit in the same engineering reviews as the team, work on the same kinds of problems, and have their work treated with the same rigour. The duration depends on the project and what fits your academic calendar.
Two months
FOCUSED PROJECT SPRINT
A single defined deliverable agreed at the start: a tool, a benchmark, a small research output, or a specific piece of an ongoing engagement. Suited to students with a fixed window between semesters. You leave with a concrete artefact and a written reference.
Three months
QUARTER-LENGTH PLACEMENT
A full quarter sized to match a typical co-op or industrial training cycle. Long enough to take on a meaningful slice of an active project, ship something into production or near it, and see the work move from design to deployment. Suited to penultimate-year students or recent graduates.
Six months
EXTENDED ENGAGEMENT
Half a year, structured as two phases: a learning ramp into the engineering domain, followed by a substantial contribution to an active engagement. Suited to final-year students working on a dissertation in an adjacent area, or graduates considering full-time work in automotive cybersecurity. The strongest candidates from this track have moved into full-time roles with us.
What we work on
Interns work on real engagements. The specific projects available at any given time depend on what is active, but the engineering domains we hire into are consistent.
V2X Public Key Infrastructure
Migration from ECDSA to ML-DSA, hybrid certificate handling, HSM portfolio management, throughput analysis of post-quantum signature verification at automotive scale.
Automotive cloud security
OEM-grade backend security for connected vehicle data, secure-by-construction telematics pipelines, access control for lawful-access workflows.
Vehicle Security Operations Centre (VSOC) engineering
Detection engineering for V2X-specific threats, PSIRT tooling, integration of cryptographic-evidence workflows.
Post-quantum migration research
Standards-tracking, deployment benchmarking, cost modelling for PQC migration at fleet scale. Some interns have contributed to material that became blog posts on this site.
How to apply
Send a brief letter (no template required, plain text in the body of the email is best) covering: which duration you are interested in, when you want to start, what you have studied or worked on that you think is relevant, and what you want to learn or contribute. Attach a CV. Two pages maximum.
Include any of the following if they exist: a public code repository, a piece of writing you have published, a project from your studies that you are proud of, a description of something you built that did not work and what you learned from it. We have no preference for prestigious universities or perfect grades. We have a strong preference for evidence that you can build things and reason carefully about them.
