Hyundai Mobis Hosts University Student SW Development Competition Linked to Recruitment

Hyundai Mobis announced on the 27th that it held the university student software (SW) development competition linked to recruitment, 'Mobility SW Hackathon.'

This competition was held to secure outstanding talent interested in future mobility SW development. In particular, innovative and creative ideas from future SW developers focusing on safety and convenience poured in.

The hackathon is a compound word of 'hacking' and 'marathon,' an event where programs are developed within a limited time like a marathon. Hyundai Mobis sought creative recruitment methods such as hackathons to secure excellent domestic SW talent in advance and expand social interest in mobility SW. Hyundai Mobis exempts all winning teams of this competition from the document screening process when applying for employment.

In this competition, 16 teams from SW clubs of 16 domestic universities participated. About 60 participants competed in SW development skills. After selecting the participating teams last month, two weeks of pre-embedded (built-in systems such as vehicle functions) SW education was provided to improve the quality of the results, and after a three-week team development project, the main hackathon event was held for one day on the 23rd.

The first prize went to Yonsei University's Subway team, which carried out the theme of 'Improving ride comfort through speed control using reinforcement learning.' Hyundai Mobis awarded prizes to five teams with excellent project performance. A database (DB) will be established for outstanding talent to continuously manage personnel.

A Hyundai Mobis official said, "We hope that participants will grow into excellent SW talents through this mobility SW development project experience," and added, "We also expect this to lead to understanding and favorability toward Hyundai Mobis's research and development field."
