Software Engineer – Oscilloscope Applications

Join a team building software at the heart of the most advanced test and measurement instruments in the world. We develop applications for industry-leading real-time, high-performance oscilloscopes — tools used by engineers pushing the boundaries of electronics, communications, and research.

What You'll Do

You'll own meaningful pieces of the software stack, from low-level algorithm development to customer-facing features. Day to day, that means writing and shipping application software on Windows, developing signal-processing and analysis algorithms, and building self-tests that keep code quality high.

A growing part of this role involves AI — both as a tool to accelerate your own development workflow and as a feature set you'll implement directly for customers. You'll research what users actually need, translate those needs into well-scoped work, and collaborate closely with product planners, marketing, and QA to bring it all together. We work in standard agile cycles, so you'll have a consistent rhythm of planning, shipping, and iterating.
