Research



Research is a pivotal organization for innovation at NXP, with a staff of over 350 scientists mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK. NXP Research has a proud heritage in Philips, one of the most prestigious names in global industrial research. At NXP, we own over 25,000 patents, and continue to create new IP for our portfolio.


With increasing seniority at NXP, as your specialist knowledge deepens, you will be involved in cross-organizational and multi-disciplinary teams, interacting directly with customers to address their requirements and transfer the results of your work into actual products.


At NXP, you will carry out free research, pursuing your own creative ideas and generating patents that contribute to NXP's strong IPR position.


At the same time, you will be encouraged to maintain an active personal and professional network, publish your research results and share your expertise at international conferences or in important collaborative research projects.
As a senior scientist, you will mentor junior scientists and students.
