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.

We are the Digital and Photonics R&D team responsible for Keysight's sampling oscilloscope portfolio. Engineers worldwide use our scopes to characterize high-speed optical and electrical signals for data center, AI infrastructure, and telecom applications. We are seeking a highly motivated Software R&D Engineer to contribute to sampling oscilloscope application development while strengthening the build, release, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) processes that deliver this software to customers and manufacturing.

This is a hybrid role that combines hands‑on application development with DevOps engineering. You will write production code for related sampling oscilloscope applications, and you will help the build/release leader to modernize the pipelines, tooling, and release processes that build, test, secure, and ship that software. This position is ideal for an early‑career engineer who enjoys writing software and true passions for improving how quality software is built and delivered.

Responsibilities

Software Development

• Design, develop, test, and maintain measurement, analysis, and instrument-control features, under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Create customer‑facing software features that simplify complex measurement workflows and improve user experience.
• Investigate, reproduce, and resolve issues reported by customers, manufacturing, and internal partners, working closely with hardware, QA, and support teams.

Build, Release & DevOps

• Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps that build, test, package, and release software.
• Automate build versioning, installer creation, code signing, and artifact management to make releases faster, more reliable, and more repeatable.
• Support source control and branching strategies and contribute to source control modernization.
• Support the release process, including beta and release‑candidate builds, release checkpoints, and delivery of software to manufacturing and customers.
• Develop scripts, tools, and dashboards that improve developer productivity and show build health and quality metrics.

Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline required.
