- Are comfortable working across LabVIEW, MATLAB, and/or Python, with the ability to implement modules within an established architecture and integrate hardware, software, and external tools.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and maintain LabVIEW software modules for multi-channel data acquisition, signal processing, and visualization
- Implement and troubleshoot synchronized data acquisition systems, including timing and coordination across multiple data sources
- Support development of continuous acquisition systems capable of recording and processing data without interruption
- Integrate NI hardware (PXI / DAQ ) with LabVIEW applications
- Implement software functionality based on defined architecture and system requirements
- Develop analysis, visualization, and diagnostic tools using MATLAB and Python, as needed.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, test, and manufacturing.
- Contribute to documentation, version control, and modern software development best practices.
Basic Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline with 5 years of relevant experience; Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline with 3 years of relevant experience

- Experience with timing and synchronization methods
- Experience with large channel count systems (50+ channels preferred)
- Experience developing applications in LabVIEW
- Experience with continuous data acquisition and streaming
- Familiarity with signal processing fundamentals (FFT, filtering, frequency-domain analysis)
- Experience supporting test, manufacturing, or factory acceptance environments
- Hands-on testing experience with accelerometers and microphones, including data acquisition and signal processing
- US Citizenship required
- Ability to obtain and maintain Secret Clearance
Preferred Qualifications:- Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for data processing, analysis, and visualization.
- Experience developing software for data processing and analysis.
- Strong interest in software development and automation for engineering applications.
- Familiarity with basic software engineering practices and version control (e.g., SVN, Git)
- Familiarity with engineering principles behind rotor dynamics, balancing, and acoustic data analysis.
