Job Summary

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.

Were 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 wont just support customers; increasingly youll be leading them showing the worlds biggest automotive names whats possible with our devices before they even ask.

What youll 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 theres a faster smarter more automated way; then we want you to find it and share it!

What were 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 builders mindset: you learn by doing youre not afraid of the unknown and you like solving problems that dont have a textbook answer.

  • Great communication because youll be explaining clever things to smart people including customers.

Nice to have (but well teach you):

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

Why this role is different:

Youre 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. Youll be surrounded by a global network of experienced engineers to learn from while bringing skills we need and dont yet have. Come help us lead the industry instead of following it.
