Internship Engineer: PMIC Validation Automation for Automotive Safety F/M

NXP Toulouse is seeking an Internship Engineer to automate PMIC validation for automotive safety. The role involves designing and developing test control software, writing unit tests, running measurement campaigns, analyzing results, and automating report generation. This is crucial for meeting ISO 26262 automotive standard requirements for reproducibility and test conditions.

Must Have

• Analog electronics (LDOs, SMPS)
• Digital electronics (logic, state machines)
• CAD tools: Cadence for Windows preferred
• Software architecture and programming: Python, LabView, C/C++
• Good level of English

Context

NXP Toulouse designs, validates, and qualifies Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) for powering embedded systems in the automotive sector.

System-level validation of PMICs requires monitoring and controlling multiple digital and analog inputs/outputs. Typical tests include:

• Fault injection
• ISO pulses (ISO 16750-2) and custom pulses
• Transient load/line tests
• Stability and efficiency measurements

The ISO 26262 automotive standard imposes strict requirements on test conditions and reproducibility. To improve testing standards, automation is essential — from equipment control and configuration tracking to test execution, result storage, and report generation.

Internship Missions

The intern will be responsible for one or more of the following tasks:

• Designing and developing the test control software
• Writing unit tests and validating the software
• Running measurement campaigns using the developed tools
• Analyzing results and automating report generation

Profile

• Education: Final year of engineering school (Master’s level), specializing in electrical engineering, electronics, or computer science
• Required skills:
• Analog electronics (LDOs, SMPS) and digital electronics (logic, state machines)
• CAD tools: Cadence for Windows preferred
• Software architecture and programming: Python, LabView, C/C++
• Language: Good level of English required
