Intern AI and Software Engineer - Automotive MPUs
Role 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.
