Intern AI and Software Engineer - Automotive MPUs

Job description

NXP Semiconductors, Automotive Processors, Solutions & Applications, Glasgow, UK, (3 month Summer Internship)

The mission

The car is becoming a computer on wheels, and AI is moving from the cloud to the edge; right onto silicon. Our S32N automotive MPUs pack proprietary AI IP blocks that let carmakers run machine learning where it matters: in the vehicle, in real-time, safely. We're looking for an AI-native intern — someone who reaches for an LLM, a notebook, or a model as second nature — to spend time with our Glasgow team working on real edge-AI problems with real automotive silicon.

What you'll actually do

Get hands-on with our S32N MPUs — helping prepare, optimise and deploy ML models onto real hardware. Prototype AI use-cases and help turn them into demos. Write clean, modern code and use AI coding assistants and automation as everyday tools. Learn alongside a global network of experienced engineers who'll help you grow fast.

What we're looking for

A 3rd or 4th year student working towards a degree in Computer Science, Electronics, AI/ML, Software or a related field. Familiarity with AI/ML basics and Python — and genuine curiosity about LLMs and modern AI workflows. Some software fundamentals (any C/C++ a bonus) and comfort with version control (git).

A builder's mindset

you like learning by doing and aren't afraid of a problem without a textbook answer. Clear communication and enthusiasm to jump in.

Why it's worth it

You'll get real experience at the ground floor of edge AI in automotive — real silicon, real problems, and a team that'll back you to experiment, learn, and bring us fresh thinking we don't yet have. More information about NXP in the United Kingdom... #LI-c856
