Job description

NI is now part of Emerson. NI is Emerson's Test and Measurement (T&M) Business Unit.

In this Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Re‑design EOL parts in NI RF Test measurement products to extend their life span to meet customer needs & maintain RF product revenue. Re‑design circuitry ranges from low frequency analogue, power supply, RF and microwave circuitries including discrete and IC‑based topologies. Integrate DFM inputs from MFG to improve product yield & quality. Research and propose alternative parts with effective solutions while avoiding major software & calibration, hardware topology changes to replace EOL parts in RF products. Proactively create mock‑up designs as POCs to strengthen re‑design proposals and obtain final approval from RF domain leaders. Exposure in analogue passive/active filter designs, DSP, and PCB layout development are ideal. Completing Board‑level Best Practices (BLBP) and Analog Design Best Practices (ADBP) is an added advantage.
• Have strong knowledge in failure analysis to root‑cause failures during early VnV and MFG builds. Produce fish‑bone diagrams to enumerate possible root causes and narrow down to the actual root cause. Properly document failure/project progress and share short‑ and long‑term design solutions with stakeholders. Create debug tools and training materials for MFG during product release.
• Deploy re‑design projects into the T&M MFG Penang to meet customer demand according to release dates. Utilize experience in NI product calibration and NI test‑measurement best practices to resolve issues during NPI and Ship & Ramp. Produce debugging guides, tools, and provide training to MFG technicians and Failure Analysis engineers.

Who You Are:

You demonstrate strong initiative in challenging situations and excel at recognizing and acting on opportunities. You streamline tasks, create efficient workflows, and develop clear plans while allocating resources effectively. Your communication adapts to various audiences, and you adjust quickly to changing circumstances.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s in Engineering (or related) degree – Electronics or Telecommunications.
• Ability to travel to Austin for training and project discussions with R&D.
• 1‑2 years of work experience in the related field is required.
• Fresh graduates or entry‑level candidates are welcome to apply.

Preferred Qualifications that Set You Apart:

• Experienced analog‑design engineers passionate about RF design.
• Hands‑on problem‑solving skills, including failure and root‑cause analysis.
