Senior Electrical Test / Systems Engineer

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain real-time test and control applications on NI cRIO, PXI, and DAQ using LabVIEW, VeriStand, and Python, with strong CAN bus integration and test automation experience
• Interface with subsystems via CAN bus, EtherCAT, Modbus, TCP/IP, and related industrial communication protocols, from initial bring-up through fault diagnosis in deployed systems
• Diagnose and resolve electrical faults in medium- to high-power test systems including voltage/current ripple, transient noise, EMI, and grounding failures, with full ownership of root-cause findings and mitigation recommendations
• Lead grounding architecture reviews and remediation across the lab, with specific focus on how high-voltage ground faults cascade into low-voltage instrumentation systems
• Set up and operate oscilloscopes, signal conditioning hardware, and bench instrumentation to characterize and isolate electrical anomalies in complex, integrated test environments
• Own ongoing support of delivered test systems including software updates, bug fixes, new feature integration, and in-field troubleshooting to ensure systems remain reliable as configurations evolve
• Support system bring-up, integration verification, and validation across hardware, controls, and software layers

What you need

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands-on industry experience
• Proven LabVIEW development on cRIO and PXI platforms — building and maintaining real-time applications, not just configuring existing ones
• Hands-on experience with CAN bus, EtherCAT, Modbus, and TCP/IP in deployed, real-world systems
• Python proficiency for test automation, data analysis, and tooling
• Electrical background with hands-on grounding architecture, oscilloscope-based fault diagnosis, and signal conditioning in mixed high/low voltage environments
• Experience with version control (Git) and structured software development practices

Bonus Qualifications

• NI Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) or Architect (CLA)
• Experience in aerospace, EV powertrain, motor drive, or power electronics test environments
• HIL or real-time validation experience (NI, dSPACE, Speedgoat, or equivalent)
• Familiarity with NI SystemLink, DIAdem, or TestStand
• Additional protocols: EtherNet/IP, LIN, RS-232/485
• Electrical CAD tools (EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical)
