Job description
Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. Our ~16,800 employees create world-class solutions in communications, 5G, automotive, energy, quantum, aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets for customers in over 100 countries. Learn more about what we do.
Our award-winning culture embraces a bold vision of where technology can take us and a passion for tackling challenging problems with industry-first solutions. We believe that when people feel a sense of belonging, they can be more creative, innovative, and thrive at all points in their careers.
- Design, build, and integrate AI-powered applications and services that accelerate software delivery and developer experience.
- Turn problem statements into production-grade solutions (LLM-assisted features, RAG/agent workflows, AI-augmented test automation) - ensure secure, compliant use of AI across the SDLC.
- Enable Agentic workflows: Use commercial AI tooling for inducting Agentic AI into Keysight’s Software Engineering and R&D functions.
- Partner with IT to drive delivery of new feature to internal function to accelerate SDLC phases.
- Combine classical ML, retrieval/agent patterns and leverage LLM capabilities to deliver robust APIs, microservices, and frontends.
- Create “golden-path” reference components for common scenarios (code assistance, documentation summarization, knowledge search, test plan generation).
- Demonstrate and produce agentic workflows for security scanning, remediation, and pipeline automation.
- Integrate solutions for central tools (Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, VMware, CloudBears CI/CD etc.).
- Collaborate with Secure Software Factory (SSF) and Product Security Applications teams to fold AI features into standard SDLC workflows.
- Help set up telemetry endpoints and build dashboards/reports that gather adoption and utilization data and capture real-time value benefits of AI tools.
- Design test strategies for AI features (unit, integration, adversarial, model-in-the-loop); apply Human and AI-assisted testing and demonstrate self-healing approaches where suitable.
- Translate corporate AI governance into developer-friendly approaches: data handling, prompt safety, model access tiers, applying vendor usage rules.
- Partner with guilds/forums (NPC, enablement sessions) to share best practices, reusable assets, and developer training content.
- Coordinate on releases with IT to ensure new features are tested and enabled for Keysight’s Software Engineering community.
- Bachelor’s or master's in computer science, electrical/electronic engineering, or related field; advanced ML/AI coursework or certifications preferred.
- Experience: 4-8 years in Computer / Software engineering (backend/frontend) with hands-on AI/ML application development or integration; internships/projects count toward demonstrable capability.
- Programming: Proficiency in Python and C#/JavaScript/TypeScript; strong API design (REST/GraphQL), microservices.
- AI/ML: Practical experience with LLM tooling (prompting, evaluation, safety), RAG (embeddings/vector stores), and at least one framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
- Cloud & DevOps: Experience on Azure (preferred) or AWS CI/CD, containers (Docker/K8s), observability (logs/metrics/traces).
- Toolchain: Bitbucket, GitHub, Jira/Confluence, Artifactory, Microsoft 365; familiarity with GitHub Copilot and M365 Copilot for developer productivity.
- Security & Compliance: Ability to implement secure least-privilege, data minimization, and secure prompt/data flows.
- Soft skills: Clear communication, collaboration across global teams, and a builder’s mindset with ownership of outcomes.
- Exposure to NIST SSDF practices (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/ssdf#ssdf-practices) and integrating AI features into standard Keysight SDLC.
- Frontend skills (Angular/React) to deliver end-to-end AI-augmented workflows.
- Experience contributing to enablement of guilds or creating internal playbooks/tutorials.
