This includes reading sensor values through NI hardware (cRIO and PXI), streaming data to Redis for real-time GUIs, and storing data in Kafka for long-term analysis. Control room tasks involve building operator interfaces for monitoring, recording, and triggering test sequences, integrating site cameras, and communicating with PLCs to control moving components.
About 95% of the code is written in NI LabVIEW, training will be provided, so no prior experience is required. As a team member, you'll contribute to both data acquisition and control room development, gaining hands-on experience with LabVIEW, Redis, Kafka, MSSQL, Git, and collaborative software engineering practices.
