NXP Semiconductors, Automotive Processors, Solutions \& Applications, Glasgow, UK, Graduate Hire
====================================================================================================

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 building the next generation of our Glasgow applications team, and we want people who are AI\-native; who reach for an LLM, a notebook, or a model before a manual. You won't just support customers; increasingly you'll be *leading* them, showing the world's biggest automotive names what's possible with our devices before they even ask.

What you'll actually do:
----------------------------

  • Get hands\-on fast with our S32N MPUs and AI toolchains — preparing, optimising and deploying ML models onto real automotive hardware.

  • Prototype new AI use\-cases (on\-device assistants, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, etc.) and turn them into demos that win designs.

  • Write clean, modern software; and use AI coding assistants, CI/CD and automation as everyday tools, not afterthoughts.

  • Work shoulder\-to\-shoulder with global customers and our worldwide engineering teams, becoming the technical voice that shapes how our AI silicon gets used.

  • Bring fresh thinking. If there's a faster, smarter, more automated way; then we want you to find it and share it!
What we're looking for:
---------------------------
  • A degree in Computer Science, Electronics, AI/ML, Software or a related engineering field.

  • Genuine fluency with AI/ML concepts and tools — Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow/ONNX, and comfort experimenting with LLMs and modern AI workflows.

  • Solid software fundamentals (C/C\+\+ a plus), version control (git), and curiosity about how software meets hardware.

  • A builder's mindset: you learn by doing, you're not afraid of the unknown, and you like solving problems that don't have a textbook answer.

  • Great communication, because you'll be explaining clever things to smart people, including customers.
Nice to have (but we'll teach you):
---------------------------------------

Embedded systems, edge AI deployment, automotive/functional\-safety awareness, model quantisation and optimisation.

Why this role is different:
-------------------------------

You're joining at the ground floor of edge AI in automotive, with real silicon, real customers, and the freedom to shape a brand\-new capability inside our team. You'll be surrounded by a global network of experienced engineers to learn from, while bringing skills *we* need and don't yet have. Come help us lead the industry instead of following it.
