LabVIEW Programmer

About the role

Develop, debug, and maintain LabVIEW-based software for automated test systems, DAQ, instrument control, and engineering test benches.

Interface with industry-standard RF/microwave instruments—signal generators, VNAs, spectrum analyzers, power meters, and more—across GPIB, USB, LAN, PXI, and other protocols.

Collaborate with RF engineers, test engineers, and manufacturing teams to transform test requirements into scalable software architectures, test sequences, GUIs, and reporting tools.

Ensure software reliably measures key RF/microwave performance metrics, including gain, power, efficiency, noise figure, and linearity.

Apply modern software engineering best practices: modular design, clean code, documentation, version control, and maintainability.

Upgrade and optimize legacy test platforms to enhance speed, reliability, and user experience.

Provide hands-on support on the factory floor—troubleshooting hardware/software interactions, commissioning systems, and resolving issues quickly.

Drive continuous improvement initiatives around automation workflows, data management, and instrument integration.

Support new product introduction (NPI), ensuring test software scales with production throughput, yield, and quality goals.

Participate in system integration and test-fixture discussions, aligning software architecture with hardware and manufacturing strategies.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
• 5+ years developing LabVIEW applications in test automation or DAQ environments
• 3+ years experience with RF/microwave test and measurement
• Hands-on experience controlling oscilloscopes, VNAs, signal generators, power meters, DAQs, and similar lab equipment
• Advanced proficiency in LabVIEW (G-language), including modular design and state-machine architectures
• Strong understanding of GPIB, USB, Ethernet, LXI, and related instrumentation protocols
• Excellent troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills—especially for software/hardware interactions
• Self-driven, detail-oriented, and collaborative, with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility

Qualifications

• Ability to work in a fast-paced lab and manufacturing environment with engineers, technicians, and QA teams
• Self-motivated and able to handle sensitive information with discretion

Skills

• Advanced proficiency in LabVIEW (G-language)
• Experience with LabVIEW Analytics or Machine Learning Toolkit
• Familiarity with Matlab, Python, and/or R
• Experience with GPUs, FPGAs, or NPUs
