NXP is a Top 10 semiconductor company founded by Philips more than 50 years ago. Headquartered in Europe, the company has 37,000 employees working in 20 countries across the world. NXP creates semiconductors, system solutions and software that deliver better sensory experiences in mobile phones, personal media players, TVs, set-top boxes, identification applications, cars and a wide range of other electronic devices.
No company is better positioned to offer the at-home experience on the move. Semiconductor solutions from NXP Semiconductors’ Mobile & Personal Business Unit help bring consumers exciting new entertainment and communications experiences such as TV-on-mobile. By drawing on our 50-year heritage in consumer electronics, we can develop multimedia processors that deliver exceptionally crisp, clear video and audio. We are, for example, number one in complete system solutions for GSM/GPRS/EDGE handsets, and have shipped more than 200 million Nexperia cellular chip sets. We also lead in speaker systems for mobile phones and FM radio ICs for portable applications. We also excel in intelligent power management, and have introduced advanced picture enhancement technologies for creating vivid visual experiences on portable devices.
Primary activities include detailed design of RF integrated circuits for consumer wireless communications equipment from design capture and layout to the test and evaluation of prototype RF ICs. Responsibilities will also include support activities required during life cycle of component from engineering samples to full volume production.
Integrated circuit design, layout and debug.
Assist in the development of the production test program.
Act as technical interface through production ramp.
