Internship - In Cabin Sensing Set-up

Graduation Project at NXP – In Cabin sensing set-up

The future starts here! Ready to join NXP?

Become part of a dynamic team that focus on System-level Innovation for Automotive Applications. Your role is to oversee setting up a testing capability for In Cabin sensing applications. There is a lot of room for new ideas and innovations, and you will be supported to have a continuous focus on development, coaching and creating a supportive environment for your team.

Your Team

The System Innovations Automotive team is part of the Central Technology Office (CTO) at NXP. We focus on system-level innovation for automotive applications such as highly automated and safe driving, audio, radar systems, in-vehicle networking, artificial intelligence, battery management systems, and mobile robotics. We offer several exciting innovation projects where we welcome the participation of interns and graduation students (both BSc and MSc). Specific project details will be defined in consultation.

Your Responsibilities

In-cabin sensing is becoming increasingly relevant for NXP’s business. To get more data on the subject a sensing setup is required. With this graduation project, NXP Semiconductors wants to build an in-cabin sensing setup in a test car. The aim is to build up a system which allows for a flexible measurement setup. Different technologies can be used here for sensors and networking. The preferred data collection system is current ROS2, which is already used for other sensors.

This project will be conducted on-site at NXP Semiconductors, located at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. On-site presence is essential due to the need for close supervision, knowledge exchange, and access to specialized hardware and software tools.

Students will work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment at the forefront of technology, supported by experienced colleagues and excellent infrastructure.

Tasks overview:

• Getting familiar with both the application(s) and the multiple sensors envisioned.

• Study interconnect of sensors to make a feasible setup.

• Investigate the available components and build a network demonstrator.

• Document your progress, results and conclusion in a final report.

What’s in it for you

• A great opportunity to develop your skills (technical, soft skills, communication, etc.)

• Gaining experience in a multinational and diverse environment.

• Possibility to become part of NXP’s Young Professional Talent Pool.

• Working on real assignments which contribute to NXP’s objectives
