• Architect, develop, and maintain LabVIEW applications for high-speed data acquisition and real-time control.
• Design communication bridges between high-speed LabVIEW systems and low-speed PLC platforms.
• Collaborate with PLC engineers to align LabVIEW logic with interlocks, alarming, and I/O management.
• Prepare wiring diagrams, loop sheets, channel maps, and system documentation.
• Coordinate with vendors and generate technical reports.
• Implement software configuration management for LabVIEW, FPGA, and test automation code.
• Lead automation initiatives using Python, MATLAB, and AI-supported engineering processes.
• Mentor junior engineers and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
• Provide engineering design, troubleshooting, and commissioning support across multiple test stands of varying scale and complexity.

Required Qualifications:
• B.S. or M.S. in Engineering from an ABET-accredited program or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience with LabVIEW development and test system integration.
• Experience coordinating LabVIEW applications with PLC-controlled systems.
• Experience supporting both small-scale and large-scale automated test stands.
• Experience designing and validating automated test stands or instrumentation systems.
• Excellent technical communication and documentation skills.
• Ability to obtain or maintain a DOE Q Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:
• NI CLD or CLA certification.
• Experience with LabVIEW RT/FPGA and deterministic data streaming.
