Philips jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Philips makes health technology. Its postings cover diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, and other medical devices, together with the software and services that run them. The company is based in Amsterdam. A large part of the work is selling and servicing equipment inside hospitals, which is why sales and field service are the biggest groups on the board.

What they value

• Working next to clinicians, which clinical science postings describe directly.
• Servicing what it sells, because service and maintenance is a large team.
• Local language and market knowledge, because sales postings appear in Chinese and other languages.
• Bringing people in early, through the largest trainee and apprentice group on the board.
• Turning clinical insight into a product, which several postings name as the loop.

Where they hire

Of 827 postings, the United States holds 270 and China 150. India holds 57, the Netherlands 54, and Germany 52. Brazil holds 33, France 24, Japan 23, and Poland 22. Israel holds 13 and the United Kingdom 12. Sites include Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Varginha and Barueri in Brazil, and Latham in New York. Chinese postings are written in Chinese.

Teams and roles

Selling and servicing the equipment outweighs building it on this board.

What they look for

Clinical postings sit between the hospital and the product. The senior clinical scientist posting in Beijing asks you to work with radiation oncologists, radiologists, medical physicists, and clinical researchers, to design and run clinical application research and publish it, to build medical image analysis and AI solutions preferably in Python or Matlab, and to feed clinical requirements back to research and product teams. It also includes pre-sales support, demonstrations, and conference work, so it is a customer-facing scientific role rather than a laboratory one. Sales postings name the territory and the product line, such as ultrasound equipment across a named region of Sichuan and Tibet, and ask for large-account management, coordination across departments, and fluent English alongside the local language.
