Meet some of our talents
“My curiosity pushes me to keep going and want to learn more. I want to experiment, explore, and see how things work. As a result, I spend most of my time in the lab, which has come to feel like a bit of a second home to me. I love applying my findings to real-world applications.”
“Imec has given me the opportunity to grow and put my acquired knowledge and experience to the test. This combination of a technical background with a commercial skillset is quite unique.”
“The great thing about working at imec is that you get to share a great deal of knowledge with others, such as with colleagues who have recently graduated or achieved their PhD, for example. I particularly enjoy working with such people, as they are often curious and eager to learn. Together, you can end up developing, say, sensor chips that serve to measure brain activity.”
“Every year was different. Each year represented another step forward in my career. Here I get the space to grow and learn from my colleagues and managers.”
"You really feel that imec at OnePlanet is moving ahead. It is growing, and I am growing along with it. I want to continue playing a role in enhancing this technology so it can be deployed on a larger scale."

If you want to make something new, you can do so in a very short time. If you have a wild idea, there are enough smart people around to give it hands and feet and turn it into a prototype."
"Imec brought everything together. I already noticed it during my job interview. There were so many different projects I could choose from. I immediately felt that this was an environment for me, where I could grow organically. It turned out that way, too. "
