- Research & Development
- Validation and Verification of NFC chips for POS and smartphones
Why I love my job
It is a continous challenging job: I can develop, test and verify communication devices for security transation data where my company is worldwide market leader.
Important skills in my job
- RF analog design
- RF modeling
- HW & SW debugging
The greatest success in my career to date
My contribute in the realization of the PN5180 NFC front end, the best NFC front end on the market. In one year and six month of experience I am co-inventor of two patents that are now the main new feature of the latest NFC devices of NXP: the Dynamic Power Control, which includes TX current regulation and TX envelope shaping control.

About my job
My job responsabilites take place in very challening enviroment related to a very challenging and dynamic market like the market of mobiles and ambedded devices. My goal is to gain professionallity in this environtmet and to reach the top in the technical career path.
I think that the combination of communication , semiconductors technologies and security data transactions is an unreachable mix whithin people can create unlimited number of services, business and new devices. Let’s think at the „internet of things“ , how many opportunities are related to this concept? I would really reccomend students to look at this world, this is already the present and it is easy to imagine that it will be the future for long time.
