About Emerson Test & Measurement (formerly NI)

Emerson's Test & Measurement business, formerly National Instruments (NI), is a global leader in automated test and measurement solutions. We enable engineers and manufacturers to accelerate innovation through advanced RF, wireless, semiconductor, and modular instrumentation technologies.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Product Redesign & Sustaining Engineering

• Lead redesign activities for End-of-Life (EOL) components in RF Test & Measurement products to extend product lifecycle, maintain product availability, and support continued business growth.
• Redesign and validate circuits across analog, power supply, RF, and microwave domains, including both discrete and IC-based designs.
• Evaluate and qualify alternative components while minimizing impact to hardware architecture, software functionality, and product calibration requirements.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing teams to incorporate Design for Manufacturability (DFM) improvements that enhance product quality, yield, and reliability.
• Develop proof-of-concept (POC) designs and prototypes to validate redesign approaches and gain technical approval from RF domain experts.
• Perform root cause analysis for issues identified during verification, validation, and manufacturing builds.
• Document technical findings, corrective actions, and project progress, and communicate updates effectively to stakeholders.
• Drive successful deployment of redesign projects into manufacturing to meet demand and release schedules.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI), Ship & Ramp, calibration, and production activities for RF Test & Measurement products.
• Work closely with Manufacturing, Failure Analysis, and Quality teams to resolve technical issues and ensure smooth product releases.
• Provide technical training and ongoing support to manufacturing technicians and Failure Analysis engineers.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related field.
• Fresh graduates with strong academic projects or internship experience are encouraged to apply.
• Familiarity with failure analysis, root cause investigation, and debugging techniques.
• Ability to travel to Austin, Texas, for training and collaboration with global R&D teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in RF and microwave circuit design within Test & Measurement products.
• Familiarity with NI/Emerson RF products, calibration processes, and Test & Measurement industry standards.
• Knowledge of Board Level Best Practices (BLBP) and Analog Design Best Practices (ADBP).
• Strong hands-on troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Who You Are

• A proactive and self-driven engineer who thrives in solving complex technical challenges.
• Able to identify opportunities for improvement and drive solutions from concept to implementation.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities while working with cross-functional teams.
• Passionate about learning and growing in RF, analog, and Test & Measurement technologies.
