Build the systems that test the technology shaping the future of RF and microwave communications.
About the RoleAre you a LabVIEW expert who loves building elegant, high-efficiency automation systems? Do you get energized by turning complex RF/microwave test requirements into software that is fast, accurate, and rock-solid? If so, you'll thrive as a
LabVIEW Programmer at Mission Microwave Technologies.
In this role, you will develop, optimize, and maintain the automated test and data-acquisition systems that ensure the performance and reliability of our cutting-edge RF and microwave products. You'll work at the intersection of software engineering, hardware validation, and hands-on lab work supporting both high-volume production and next-generation engineering development.
What You'll Do- 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.
What You Bring- 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
- Ability to work in a fast-paced lab and manufacturing environment with engineers, technicians, and QA teams
Self-driven, detail-oriented, and collaborative, with a strong sense of ownership and responsibility - Ability to handle sensitive information with discretion
Bonus Points- LabVIEW certification (CLD, CLA)
- Experience with LabVIEW Analytics or Machine Learning Toolkit
- Familiarity with Matlab, Python, and/or R
- Experience with GPUs, FPGAs, or NPUs
At Mission Microwave, you don't just take a job; you step into a mission that matters.
