Senior Developer (LabVIEW)

As a Senior Developer (LabVIEW) , you are joining a small, specialist real-time software team. You are designing, building and maintaining LabVIEW code running on NI PXI Real-Time Controllers and dual FlexRIO FPGAs, alongside supporting desktop-side VIs and post-processing tools.

This is a hands-on role where you are writing production code daily, reviewing work across the team, and collaborating closely with systems, R&D and applications engineers as our product roadmap evolves.

We are looking for Developers who specialise in LabVIEW.

A typical day for a Senior Developer (LabVIEW) , could look like this:

Designing and developing LabVIEW RT software handling data acquisition, control systems and communication between processes

Building FPGA functionality (LabVIEW FPGA / FlexRIO) including signal conditioning, control loops, scanner drivers and high-speed data pipelines

Managing RT–FPGA communication using DMA, buffering and synchronisation mechanisms

Reviewing code to ensure it meets architecture, quality and maintainability standards

Writing and maintaining unit tests and contributing to continuous integration improvements

Working within 3-week sprint cycles, taking part in planning, stand-ups and retrospectives

Collaborating with systems and R&D teams to turn hardware concepts into robust software solutions

Supporting testing activities with SQA engineers, both in simulation and on hardware

Documenting your work clearly and keeping technical knowledge up to date

Mentoring other developers and sharing good engineering practices across the team

To succeed as a Senior LabVIEW Software Developer, we do need you to have experience of:

Developing LabVIEW software in a production environment

Working with LabVIEW FPGA, including pipelining, fixed-point arithmetic and target communication

Using NI hardware such as PXI systems, Real-Time Controllers and FPGA-based platforms

Writing structured, maintainable LabVIEW code using recognised design patterns

Using Git in a team setting with branching, pull requests and code reviews

Debugging complex systems across both real-time and FPGA environments

Nice to have:

Experience using Python for scripting, automation or data processing

Understanding of precision measurement systems, optics or similar technologies

Knowledge of control systems and PID tuning

Familiarity with digital signal processing concepts

Engagement with the LabVIEW community or open-source tools

LabVIEW certifications (CLD or CLA)
