NXP Romania reached 1000 people. The company recently opened its second R&D center in Sibiu, in addition to the one in Bucharest

As a world leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications, NXP Semiconductors is pushing boundaries in the automotive, industrial & internet of things (IoT), mobile, and communication infrastructure markets while delivering solutions that advance a more sustainable future. 

The company has had substantial growth over the last few years, with currently 1050 team members at NXP Romania in Bucharest. In May 2023, the company opened its second research and development (R&D) center in Sibiu and it continues to recruit, having open positions in all key areas of development. 

NXP Romania contributes to the development of solutions for automotive, consumer and industrial IoT markets by developing software platforms that integrate NXP components and software from partners. In addition to software development, NXP also invests in research as part of intellectual property creation programs.   

The R&D centers of excellence have more than 20 years of experience in designing, developing and innovating software products. The center of excellence in Bucharest focuses on two areas in continuous transformation: automotive and IoT. As automotive architectures are evolving, the teams are specialized in developing integrated software products that enhance customer experience by providing reference hardware and software platforms that are easy to use and configure. The center of excellence in Sibiu focusses on the design and development of software products in the automotive industry. NXP also has dedicated teams that focus on IT service management and chip sales and order management operations. 

We at NXP keeppace with technological advances that are said to significantly influence our future. We bring together bright minds to breakthrough technologies that make the connected world better, safer and more secure. 

As a part of the ecosystem, it is close to our heart to support higher education in Romania through programs dedicated to collaboration with universities. A successful example is the annual NXP Cup competition, where students program prototype cars using NXP technologies. The NXP Cup is the first professional competition in EMEA dedicated to model cars.
