Job Summary
We are seeking an Automation & Test Systems Engineer (LabVIEW) to manage the deployment, configuration, and development of test software within our data acquisition (DAQ) environments. This role requires a hands‑on professional who can interface software programs with physical hardware, ovens, and environmental chambers, supporting both our regional Manila clients and international customer accounts.
Job Scope (Key Responsibilities)
- Software deployment & maintenance: Deploy existing LabVIEW software applications into data acquisition (DAQ) systems at customer facilities. This includes executing remote deployments for international clients from the Manila office, as well as conducting on‑site deployments and installations for local clients within the Manila region. Review, modify, and update legacy code left by previous developers to align with current project requirements before deployment.
- System integration & validation: Validate and test deployed test programs to ensure full operational status. Interface DAQ systems with environmental chambers, thermal ovens, and related industrial test equipment.
- Sensor interface & testing: Design and develop short, targeted LabVIEW routines and drivers to read, acquire data from, and test the functionality of various sensors, including Relative Humidity (RH) sensors, thermocouples, and pressure transducers.
- Sensor Bench Testing: Conduct physical setup, connection, and testing of hardware components like thermocouples and RH sensors on the laboratory bench.
- New Program Development: Architect, code, and implement completely new LabVIEW software programs from scratch as the business scales and introduces new service capabilities.
- Cross‑border Alignment: Maintain technical documentation for deployed software versions and coordinate updates cleanly with the engineering team at the Singapore HQ.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation & Control Engineering, or a related field.
- Technical Experience: 2 to 4 years of proven experience programming and deploying LabVIEW applications interacting with physical hardware.
- Hardware & DAQ Familiarity: Strong hands‑on experience working with National Instruments (NI) DAQ systems (e.g., cDAQ, PXI) and data logging applications.
- Thermal & Environmental Equipment Knowledge: Direct experience or familiarity interfacing software with environmental testing chambers, laboratory ovens, or PLC‑controlled industrial equipment is highly preferred.
- Sensor & Instrumentation Expertise: Solid understanding of analog/digital signals and sensor electronics, specifically how to wire, read, and program LabVIEW routines for thermocouples, RTDs, and RH sensors.
- NI Certification (Plus): A CLAD (Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer) or CLD (Certified LabVIEW Developer) certification is highly advantageous but secondary to solid deployment experience.
- Communication: Excellent problem‑solving skills and strong English communication skills to report operational readiness back to regional stakeholders.
- Willingness to travel locally within Manila for hands‑on, on‑site deployment and testing at customer facilities when required.
