NXP Romania Cooperative Projects
Take a look at our funded research cooperations.
NXP advances technology through a global reach and our presence in Romania focuses on software development for automotive, microcontrollers and connectivity products as well as IT service management and customers supply operations.
In 2000, NXP Romania was established in a lab at University Politechnica Bucharest as part of Motorola’s Semiconductor Products Sector (SPS). SPS spun off to become Freescale® Semiconductor in 2004 and then merged with NXP Semiconductors in 2015. Transforming from a university lab to an impressive new facility known as Campus 6.1, our Romanian team grew from five to 1,000 team members.
Our Bucharest engineers focus on software IP (automotive, microcontroller and connectivity devices) and board solutions. As customer demand for software enablement continues to grow, the team in Bucharest is instrumental in maintaining NXP’s industry leadership in software enablement. Our motto, Brining Software to the Next Level, allows us to stretch the boundaries of innovation.

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

“I joined NXP in 2008 on the Digital Networking team before eventually moving to the Automotive Processing group. I appreciate the positive atmosphere at NXP which encourages open discussions and problem solving. I work with smart people who enjoy what they do and are a pleasure to work with, and I have time outside of work to devote to my passion for photography.”
Dan, Software Project Manager, Romania
“It is satisfying to play a part in developing a product used in a broad range of areas from automotive to industrial and IoT. In my role I get to interact closely with customers, contribute to new projects and be part of the evolving technology. Each day brings new challenges which are opportunities to expand my technical background. I find working at NXP is very rewarding!”
Irina, Systems Engineer, Romania
“Each working day at NXP is special as I interact with extremely skilled colleagues. My team develops software to enable next generation radar for autonomous driving assistance systems (ADAS). Our team reputation for high quality, on-time delivery has been built over the years and is sustained by everyone’s commitment, professionalism, collaboration, trust and respect.”
