How often are new jobs added?

New internships are added continuously throughout the day. We monitor company career pages and hiring tools in real time, so most roles appear on InternshipsHQ shortly after they’re posted.

Why can I only view a limited number per day on the free plan?

The free plan is designed to let you explore the platform and see how fresh the listings are. Limits help us prioritize serious applicants and keep the signal high. Pro removes these limits and gives you full access.

What sources do you pull internships from?

We source internships directly from company career pages, startup hiring platforms, and applicant tracking systems like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable, and others. This helps us surface roles earlier and avoid repost-heavy job boards.

Are these internships legitimate?

Yes. We actively filter out expired, duplicate, misleading, and low-quality listings. Each role is checked for legitimacy and posting freshness so you’re not wasting time on dead or fake opportunities.

Can I filter by location, experience level, remote, or salary?

Yes. You can filter internships by role, location, experience level, remote or hybrid status, and pay when available. Pro users get access to more advanced and saved filters.

Why are early alerts so important?

For internships, timing matters more than volume. Most callbacks happen when roles are still new and applicant pools are small. Early alerts help you apply before listings get flooded.

Do you show salary or pay information?

When companies include pay information, we display it clearly. Not all internships list salary upfront, but we prioritize transparency whenever the data is available.

Is InternshipsHQ suitable for senior or experienced roles?

InternshipsHQ is primarily built for internships, entry-level, and early-career roles. If you’re looking for senior or leadership positions, you may find limited results here.

About the Role

Join a high-performing team at Sonatus that’s redefining what cars can do in the era of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV).

At Sonatus, we’re driving the transformation to AI-enabled software-defined vehicles. Traditional automotive software methods can’t keep pace with consumer expectations shaped by the mobile industry—where features evolve rapidly, update seamlessly, and improve continuously. That’s why leading OEMs trust Sonatus to accelerate this shift. Our technology is already in production across more than 5 million vehicles on the road today and rapidly expanding.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA, with 250+ employees worldwide, Sonatus combines the agility of a fast-growing company with the scale and impact of an established partner. Backed by strong funding and proven by global deployment, we’re solving some of the most interesting and complex challenges in the industry. Join us and help redefine what’s possible as we shape the future of mobility.

We are seeking an MSc or PhD intern specializing in data systems or high-performance computing to design and implement a lightweight, adaptive log pre-filtering system. This role focuses on extreme system efficiency and real-time embedded hardware constraints to achieve significant data volume reduction for downstream AI models.

This a temporary role that runs for approximately 12 weeks with a projected start date in early June.

Please note that we are only considering candidates who graduated in Spring 2026 and are local to the Bay Area, as this role follows a hybrid schedule with three in‑office days per week.

Key Responsibilities:

System Design: Design and implement an adaptive log pre-filtering system integrated into the vehicle’s data pipeline.
Optimization: Utilize zero-copy memory manipulation and optimized batching to ensure minimal CPU and RAM overhead.
Performance Engineering: Balance aggressive data reduction goals (targeting an 80% reduction) with the strict performance requirements of real-time embedded hardware.
Collaboration: Work alongside senior software and ML engineers to integrate solutions into existing vehicle data pipes.

Required Skills:

Must have graduated in Spring 2026 with a BS, MS, or PhD degree with a focus on AI/ML model development.
Specialization: Currently pursuing an MSc or PhD in High-Performance Computing, Data Systems, Computer Science, or a related field.
Programming: Familiarity with C++ and expertise in low-level system efficiency.
Systems Engineering: Experience with zero-copy memory manipulation, memory management, and optimized batching.
Must be local to the bay area, or willing to relocate, and come into office 3 days/week (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday).

Preferred Skills:

Understanding of CPU/RAM overhead optimization in resource-constrained environments.
Familiarity with automotive data formats and real-time data processing.

Sonatus Perks include:

Complimentary lunches, snacks and beverages during on-site working days
