University Programs

Freescale Semiconductor is engaged with universities in all regions of the world, providing a wide variety of opportunities to students and faculty members. For example, we offer hardware/software development kits for use in classes; we engage in research collaborations; and we offer intern and full-time employment opportunities to students. Our involvement with universities is an extremely important ingredient to Freescale’s long-term global strategy in that it allows us to teach and learn from the employees of tomorrow.

University Program

Education
Freescale creates versatile Student Learning Kits, which include hardware, software and training, instruction materials and technical support. These kits enable students and faculty members to learn topics, conduct projects and gain experience using Freescale technologies.  In addition, we offer exposure to cutting edge technology and skills that are demanded by the industry and will be invaluable when entering the workforce.

Research Opportunities

University Research
Freescale collaborates with research consortia and selected universities around the world to develop future semiconductor technologies. In addition to achieving breakthrough innovations, these collaborations provide researchers and students with a rich experience and first-hand knowledge of working with the semiconductor industry.

Recruitment
The relationships and knowledge Freescale gains through university collaborations allow us to identify key students and educators and offer them internships, co-ops and full-time employment opportunities within Freescale across the globe. We also offer an engineering rotational program to new graduate students. This one year program allows individuals to rotate between various business groups, during which they gain a diverse portfolio of experience that helps identify specific areas of interest. Numerous members of Freescale's Leadership Team are former participants of the Engineering Rotation program.
