Overview

The Edge Intelligence - Mastertrack Embedded Systems course from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) focuses on integrating artificial intelligence into resource-constrained devices, enabling real-time data processing directly where it is collected. This shift from centralized cloud solutions to decentralized, local intelligence makes systems faster, more efficient, and more secure.

Career prospects

Graduates of the Edge Intelligence master’s track at TU/e have excellent career prospects in the Brainport region, where the high-tech and semiconductor industries are booming.

With expertise at the intersection of AI, embedded systems, and hardware, you’ll be well prepared for roles in developing smart chips, IoT solutions, and intelligent embedded platforms for applications in mobility, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy.

Local companies such as Signify, Philips, NXP, ASML, Canon and ThermoFisher offer strong demand for engineers and researchers who can integrate AI directly into devices.

Many also pursue academic careers through PhD or EngD programs. The strong Brainport industry network ensures ample opportunities for research collaborations and real-world applications.
