WHY NI?

There are many reasons to consider joining a company. Key among them are the people, the ideas, and the technology. At NI, we believe in the power and potential of connecting the three to create a path to success.
The people : We’re looking for curious and creative problem solvers who value diversity and fresh perspectives, are bold and kind, and willing to take chances.
The ideas : What did you want to be when you grew up? Did you want to program robots? Build flying cars? Leave the world better than you found it? At NI, we build on the big ideas of big dreamers to make their visions a reality.
The technology : With our tailored, software-connected approach, we support our customers through all phases of the product development cycle. From 5G and medical innovations to autonomous driving and the future of space travel, we help our customers Engineer Ambitiously every day.
We’ve long been globally recognized as a top employer. Our compensation and benefits are very competitive, as are our modern workspaces, career development and mobility opportunities, and a culture that fosters belonging and emphasizes community giving. We encourage our teammates to challenge the status quo and collaborate with one another to build innovative solutions.
No matter your career path, we’re here for you, for each other, and for the next generation of innovators who think bigger, aim higher, and go faster.
Are you up for the challenge of helping shape humanity for the next 100 years? If so, let’s get started, and let’s Engineer Ambitiously together.
We are changing how we work by offering more flexibility. NI has decided to take a hybrid approach (working both on- and off-site) at an aggregate level. We know that different roles have different requirements, so we’re embracing a full range of options.

• Research and propose alternative parts with effective solutions in consideration of avoiding major software & product calibration, hardware topology changes to replace EOL parts in NI products.
• Implement and simulate designs through CAD and synthesis tools. i.e. Mentor Graphics.
• Verify and validate designs of hardware re-designs. Debug any issues that may arise.
• Have good knowledge in failure analysis to root cause failures during early VnV and MFG builds.
• Integrate DFM inputs from MFG to improve product yield & quality
• Diagnose and debug technical challenges with products or problems arising when your products interact or integrate with other NI products
• Proactive in doing mock-up design as POC (Proof of Concept) to strengthen re-design proposal to get final approval from domain leaders.
• RCA know how. Able to come up fish bone diagram to list possible root cause and narrow down to actual root cause.
• Provide technical expertise and training to Applications Engineers, customers, or any other person as required for others using and supporting your productsProperly document failure / project progress and share with stake holders by sharing short and long term design solutions.
• Create proper debug guides, debug tools and provide training to MFG techs and Failure Analysis engineers
• Mentor junior engineers and share your expertise/technical knowledge and advise others on computer and electrical engineering technologies and circuit design.
• Lead the team to develop product and design documentation.
• Create debug tool and training material for MFG during product release
