NVE Career Opportunities

We believe in doing important work. We believe in doing work that makes an impact today and accelerates our opportunities for the future. We do this by creating new capabilities where a concept is conceived, yet it is not yet physically achievable. We focus on developing enabling technologies for high-value market opportunities, where our core technological advantages of small size, high-sensitivity, and low power consumption furnish new innovations for our own customers. We thereby enable our customers to do important work as well, and we learn from their success to create a chain reaction of continual improvement. We continue to develop innovative products, invest in R&D, and expand our capabilities.

If you enjoy a fast-paced, dynamic environment where achievement is fostered and encouraged, NVE can provide you a once-in-a-career opportunity to learn new skills, hone your talents, and earn higher responsibilities.

NVE is a leader in the practical commercialization of spintronics for magnetic sensors, magnetoresistive, random-access memory, and magnetoresistive isolation technology. The company won a 2015 Frost & Sullivan Technology Leadership Award for Spintronic Magnetic Sensors, was one of Forbes’ Best Small Companies in America for 2022 for the fifth time, and was named the Best Technology Company to Work for in Eden Prairie by Zippia in 2019.
