Senior Labview Software Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Senior LabVIEW Software Engineer?

To thrive as a Senior LabVIEW Software Engineer, you need a strong background in electrical engineering or computer science, advanced proficiency in LabVIEW programming, and experience in automated test systems design. Familiarity with National Instruments hardware, DAQ systems, TestStand, and holding certifications like NI Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) or Architect (CLA) are highly valuable. Excellent problem-solving, project management, and communication skills help you lead projects and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams. These skills ensure the delivery of robust, efficient test solutions critical to product quality and development timelines.

What are some typical challenges faced by Senior LabVIEW Software Engineers when working on complex test automation projects?

Senior LabVIEW Software Engineers often encounter challenges such as integrating LabVIEW with a variety of hardware devices, ensuring software scalability for future test requirements, and maintaining code quality in large, collaborative projects. Managing multiple dependencies, version control, and effectively documenting code are key aspects of the role. Additionally, close collaboration with hardware engineers and cross-functional teams is essential to ensure that software solutions meet both technical specifications and project timelines.

What is the difference between Senior Labview Software Engineer vs Labview Developer?

AspectSenior Labview Software EngineerLabview Developer
Required CredentialsBachelor's or higher in Engineering/Computer Science, experience in LabVIEWSimilar educational background, often with less experience
Work EnvironmentDesigning complex test systems, leading projects, collaborating with cross-functional teamsDeveloping and maintaining LabVIEW applications, supporting testing processes
Industry UsageAutomotive, aerospace, manufacturing, research labsResearch institutions, product testing, automation projects

Senior Labview Software Engineers typically have more experience, lead projects, and handle complex system design, while Labview Developers focus on creating and maintaining LabVIEW applications. Both roles require similar technical skills but differ in scope and responsibility.

What does a Senior LabVIEW Software Engineer do?

A Senior LabVIEW Software Engineer specializes in designing, developing, and maintaining automated test systems and applications using the LabVIEW programming environment. They work with hardware and software teams to create solutions for data acquisition, instrument control, and process automation, primarily in engineering and scientific settings. Their role typically involves project management, system architecture design, troubleshooting, and mentoring junior engineers. They often collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements and ensure the delivered systems meet quality and performance standards.

Northrop Grumman Marine Systems specializes in the analysis, development, manufacture, assembly and testing of missile launching and handling systems, propulsion, and power generation systems for naval surface ships and submarines. We are seeking a LabVIEW Systems Engineer Level 4 with experience in LabVIEW, data acquisition, and signal processing to support development of a modular test platform for rotational machinery. You will join the highly talented, motivated, and collaborative Software and Performance Analysis team.
This system will include multi-channel data acquisition, synchronization/timing across high-speed and low-speed signals, and continuous acquisition and processing capabilities. The role will support the transition from a legacy multi-tool environment to a unified LabVIEW-based system. This position is ideal for engineers who:
  • Possess strong hands-on engineer with experience developing modular LabVIEW applications for multi-channel data acquisition, synchronization/timing, continuous acquisition, and signal processing systems.
  • 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 8 years of relevant experience; Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline with 6 years of relevant experience
  • Experience with NI PXI, or similar DAQ hardware
  • 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.
