Semiconductors in the Netherlands

Kees van Nieuwburg's entry into the semiconductor industry was a stroke of luck, initiated by a friend's proposal to do an internship together at the Bosch subsidiary ItoM. Despite having no prior experience in the semiconductor industry, Kees was thrilled at the prospect of working for a company on the cutting edge of technological innovation. While interning at ItoM, he found IC design to be both challenging and captivating. His eagerness to learn led to a job offer once he completed his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 2005.

Since then, Kees has worked his way up to his current position of Director of Digital Design. He now has technical responsibilities and leads a team of mixed disciplines including verification experts, digital designers, and mixed signal engineers.

Kees has worn many hats throughout his career, demonstrating his versatility and capability to adapt to new challenges. He particularly values the diverse range of projects, which provides him with ample opportunities to keep expanding his knowledge and fueling his passion for technical subjects. Regardless of the role he takes on, Kees' primary concern is meeting market needs and ensuring that his work makes a valuable contribution.

“The aspect of my job that brings me the most reward is developing solutions that have a positive impact on our daily lives. It's exciting to think that our collective ideas could potentially be integrated into billions of products.”

The field of semiconductor development is dynamic and future oriented. In Kees’ view, there is always something to learn. Bosch provides its associates the room to learn and grow in their job. With extensive guidance and support from colleagues and supervisors, associates are always encouraged to take risks, learn from failure, and drive meaningful change.

Just as Kees has learnt to change, grow, and create – so can you! Development knows no boundaries at Bosch. If you're looking for a challenging and a rewarding career, we invite you to join our team and see what you can accomplish.

Maren discovered her passion for product management and marketing early on, prompting her to join the PreMaster program at Bosch to gain hands-on experience. After her master's degree in management with a focus on marketing, Maren went on to work in the 3D printing industry before returning to Bosch to work in semiconductors.

But why semiconductors? Maren is crazy about cars. However, her fascination for semiconductors goes beyond that. Semiconductors play a role in many areas of the future. The tiny components are omnipresent in cars and smartphones alike. As a product manager, Maren can actively shape and influence products, which have a direct impact on daily life. For her, it's a thrilling combination of top-notch technology and practical application.

As part of her current role, Maren is responsible for identifying new business opportunities, developing product strategies, and expanding the MEMS business into new applications and sales fields. She works closely with the development department to collectively generate and evaluate new product ideas. If the ideas turn out to be promising, Maren oversees all stages of the process, from development to market introduction to series production. Maren's job is anything but ordinary – every day brings something new and exciting. She's constantly communicating with a variety of stakeholders. The multitude of interfaces makes her job highly dynamic and involves diverse tasks ranging from technology to marketing and customer meetings.

“The best part of my job? The ability to reinvent myself, whether diving deep into technology or creating innovative marketing strategies. What really drives me is the opportunity to see the product develop from start to finish, rather than just working on a small piece of the puzzle.”

Maren values her job’s flexibility, providing her with the autonomy to grow both personally and professionally while benefiting from transparent career paths and supportive superiors. What’s more, everyone in her department is passionate about the technology and the products, which creates an inspiring atmosphere. Join us, and work alongside Maren and her colleagues on small components that leave a lasting mark on the world.

Fabian's passion for sensor technology started during his bachelor's thesis in electrical engineering, where he became fascinated with the transfer of human senses into technical systems. He pursued this field further by earning a master's degree in sensor systems technology and eventually joined Bosch as a sensor expert in 2016.

He led a development project and turned his passion for sensor technology and data analysis into a concrete product – a sensor system that has since sold millionfold. Fabian enjoys the chance to investigate complex issues and generate fresh insights that help to improve products and services. Driven by his belief that data enhances objectivity, he put together a team dedicated to Data Science, Big Data, and Algorithms for MEMS Sensor Development.

“I simply have the best job in the world: I get to do the technical implementation of human senses and learn so much about myself, the environment, and the technical systems. I feel incredibly lucky to work alongside so many talented experts in my team who share my passion.”

Fabian enjoys every aspect of his job, from managing his team and matching their strengths with new projects, to participating in technical discussions and pursuing new business opportunities. He is dedicated to promoting the growth and strong position of his division as a center of excellence for data-driven development. In addition, keeping up to date with the latest research trends is also a crucial aspect of his job. He is always looking for new methods in artificial intelligence that could be leveraged to benefit Bosch.

What Fabian values most about working at Bosch is the culture of collaboration: challenges are always tackled as a team. Bosch fosters a common understanding that no one can solve problems alone, and that collaboration and shared knowledge are essential for success.
