We are seeking a Senior Electrical (Test) Systems Engineer to serve as the ultimate authority on system health
This isn’t a “follow the manual” role
You’ll be operating at the volatile intersection of high-voltage power and sensitive low-voltage instrumentation—a boundary where noise, grounding issues, and transients create real-world consequences
We need a battle-tested expert who has seen these systems fail in industry and knows exactly how to build them to last
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
Qualifications
Electrical background with hands‑on grounding architecture, oscilloscope‑based fault diagnosis, and signal conditioning in mixed high/low voltage environments
Hands‑on experience with CAN bus, EtherCAT, Modbus, and TCP/IP in deployed, real‑world systems
Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent hands‑on industry experience
Experience with version control (Git) and structured software development practices
Proven LabVIEW development on cRIO and PXI platforms — building and maintaining real‑time applications, not just configuring existing ones
Python proficiency for test automation, data analysis, and tooling
Experience in aerospace, EV powertrain, motor drive, or power electronics test environments
HIL or real‑time validation experience (NI, dSPACE, Speedgoat, or equivalent)
NI Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) or Architect (CLA)
Electrical CAD tools (EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical)
Familiarity with NI SystemLink, DIAdem, or TestStand
