Context

NXP is the market leader in processing, networking, and power management solutions for the automotive market and seeks to aggressively accelerate the market. By anticipating market needs and comprehensively responding to them, NXP is extending its value proposition toward system solutions.

The automotive market is in an acceleration phase, with massive parallel innovation occurring across all domains with the adoption of the most advanced technologies.

This unique moment in time represents both an unprecedented opportunity for our customers and an extraordinary demand on their resources and capabilities. The three domains of the highest complexity for the market are Software, Functional Safety, and Security. In order to accelerate the migration to the Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) and enable early engagement with the automotive OEMs, our strategic objective is to develop system and software expertise on E/E architecture and SDV.

Role and Responsibilities

This role has a primary objective to contribute to a new Automotive System and Platform architecture organization at NXP. The objective of the System architecture team is to build expertise at system and software level within NXP and to engage with the OEM advanced engineering team to offer support on sub-systems where NXP is building expertise. Such sub-systems are leveraging NXP expertise and portfolio in processing, networking, power management, security, and safety.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
