Subject: NXP University Program – automotive/edge verification education

Hi NXP team,

I'm Abinaya, a Design Verification Engineer with an M.S. in ECE and an active IEEE member (Technical Committee member and reviewer). I create educational content on semiconductor design verification, UVM/SystemVerilog and AI for hardware for an engaged audience of practicing and aspiring engineers on LinkedIn and YouTube.

Why I'm reaching out: Automotive and edge-AI verification are directly relevant to my content, and the NXP Community, University Programs and NXP Cup are great collaboration routes. I'd love to explore a collaboration through the NXP Community / University Programs — creating genuinely useful, technically rigorous content rather than a one-off promo.

A few ideas I had in mind:

  • Content on automotive functional-safety (ISO 26262) verification basics.
  • Edge-AI validation tutorial on an NXP eval platform.
  • Mentorship content tied to NXP Cup.

I'm equally open to unpaid, product/access-based or ambassador arrangements — my priority is a long-term, trusted relationship. Could I send over a short proposal and content samples, or connect with the right person on your team?

Thank you for your time and for the work NXP does for the engineering community.

Warm regards,

Abinaya
