NXP in Our Community

Paid Internship Programs

Each year, NXP Romania hosts interns who learn the specifics of software development in Automotive, Edge Computing and IoT. We are proud that our interns extend their experience with practical contributions in real-life projects. Search for latest internship openings on nxp.com/careers .

Sponsored Competitions

NXP hosts a variety of competitions annually including HoverGames , NXP Cup , Innovation Labs and hackathons which allow students to interact with NXP mentors and gain experience solving real world problems. Get up to date with our news by following “Oamenii NXP România ”.

NXP Sibiu

NXP Sibiu officially opened in June 2024, as the second R&D Center in Romania. The Center of Excellence in Sibiu focuses on the design and development of software products in the automotive industry and hosts almost 100 engineers and students.

NXP Romania Cooperative Projects

Here are some of the ways NXP Romania is working to boost research capabilities and contribute to innovation ecosystems within Romania and Europe.

TRISTAN - Together for RISc-V Technology and ApplicatioNs

The TRISTAN consortium aims to expand, mature and industrialize the European RISC-V ecosystem to compete with existing commercial/proprietary alternatives. This will be achieved by leveraging the Open-Source community to gain in productivity and quality. This goal will be achieved by defining a European strategy for RISC-V-based designs, including the creation of a repository of industrial quality building blocks to be used for SoC designs in different application domains (e.g. automotive, industrial, etc.). The TRISTAN approach is holistic, covering electronic design automation tools (EDA) and the full software stack. The broad 46 partner consortium will expose many engineers to RISC-V technology, further strengthening adoption. This ecosystem will ensure a European sovereign alternative to existing commercial/proprietary players. The consortium, which includes the largest EU companies and globally operating semiconductor IDMs, is convinced that once solutions using RISC-V building blocks are well verified, the industry will feel sufficiently confident to make the investments necessary for tape-outs.

ISOLDE - High Performance, Safe, Secure, Open-Source Leveraged RISC-V Domain-Specific Ecosystems

The ISOLDE project aims to significantly support the digital transformation of all economic and societal sectors, to speed up the transition towards a green, climate neutral and digital Europe, to strengthen the design capacity and to achieving digital autonomy EU wide. By the end of our project, we will have high performance RISC-V processing systems and platforms at least at TRL 7 for the vast majority of building blocks, demonstrated for key European application domains such as automotive, space and IoT with the expectation that two years after completion ISOLDE’s high performance components will be used in industrial quality products. To achieve such an ambitious goal, an industrial-grade open-source support for development, verification, and maintenance will be provided. The customizable IPs will be hosted on physically located European servers to address the European digital sovereignty requirement that the ISOLDE project will support. This way, ISOLDE will have delivered a major contribution to the unification and focus of the full-fledged – industry-supported – eco-system for RISC-V open-source architecture, especially in the area of embedded high-performance computing, and thus to the creation of a breakthrough design capacity across the EU microelectronics industry.
