In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:
Architect and develop framework solutions for semiconductor and electronics lab automation across Mixed Signal and RF domains
Integrate National Instruments (NI) software tools to create comprehensive workflows for product characterization and validation
Design solutions that enable seamless transitions from specification to automation, data acquisition, and analytics to enhance product quality
Own system features or full systems, leading them from definition through successful release
Collaborate with global R&D teams on feature alignment, dependencies, and customer-critical issues
Develop reusable IP and features for scalability across systems and future opportunities
Follow established software development processes and best practices for design and implementation
Gather and incorporate feedback from business managers, system architects, and application engineers
Provide technical leadership, guiding architectural decisions while balancing technical and business priorities
Act as a subject matter expert (SME) for internal stakeholders and customer-facing teams
Identify and drive architecture and process improvements to enhance long-term product quality and efficiency
Represent customer requirements and ensure alignment with product priorities
Lead resolution of critical issues and customer concerns
Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering learning and development
Promote a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within the team
Who You Are:
You promote high visibility of shared contributions to goals and actively collaborate to achieve outcomes. You take decisive action in evolving and uncertain situations while making timely and well-informed decisions. You seek input and feedback from relevant stakeholders to strengthen solutions and continuously improve. You embrace calculated risks and move forward with confidence, even when outcomes are not fully defined.
For This Role, You Will Need:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Telecommunications, Instrumentation, or a related field
Strong hands-on experience in Python and C# for software development
Solid understanding of object-oriented programming, data structures, software architecture, and design patterns
Experience diagnosing complex technical issues and delivering effective solutions
Knowledge of integrating software with measurement systems or hardware environments
Familiarity with Agile development practices and collaborative development workflows
Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:
Experience with NI hardware and software ecosystems (e.g., LabVIEW, TestStand)
Exposure to semiconductor validation, Mixed Signal, or RF testing environments
Experience building scalable automation frameworks or lab systems
Understanding of data acquisition, analytics, and system-level validation workflows
Prior experience working in global or cross-functional engineering teams
