NIT Institute continues a 20+ year long journey of excellence in automotive engineering and functional safety consultancy, research and education. Since 2020. we are established as a consultancy and training company (under the brand NIT Academy) with the goal to catalyze the transformation and growth of smart industries dominated by software, with automotive and autonomous driving with AI being among our key traits. Working with our Tier 1 and Tier 2 partners from the automotive ecosystem, we organize, manage, conceptualize and monitor projects as well as train teams on topics such as software-defined vehicles, automotive software frameworks (with AUTOSAR and beyond), functional safety and security with ISO 26262, ISO 21448 SOTIF, ASPICE, ISO/PAS 8800, ISO/SAE 21434, all relevant safety analysis methods (including STPA), as well as practical design guidance with modern hardware and SoCs. Our trainings are in-depth, hands-on and outcome-oriented, and we conduct two certificate tracks (with micro degrees) in functional safety for automotive as a partner of University of California San Diego Extended Studies.
