About this role

For our team in Austin, we are looking for a hands-on Software Engineer – an
experienced professional or a recent graduate – who wants to work at the
intersection of AI, Software Engineering, Data Science, and Test and
Measurement. This role focuses on applying modern AI and data-driven methods to
real-world measurement and test workflows used by scientists and engineers to
conduct experiments, design products, and validate mission-critical systems. You
will work closely with engineers and customers to transform measurement data
into intelligent capabilities — ranging from AI-assisted analysis and anomaly
detection to LLM-powered engineering workflows. 

IN THIS ROLE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL: 

* Work closely with measurement engineers, data scientists, and customers to
solve test and measurement domain-specific problems 
* Translate AI, ML, and agentic workflows into concrete measurement use cases
(e.g., AI-assisted interpretation of complex measurement data, test
optimization, and automation) 
* Validate technical feasibility and customer impact through rapid full-stack
prototyping 
* Influence platform and architecture decisions through hands-on contribution 
* Set best practices for applied AI quality, reliability, and maintainability 

WHO YOU ARE: You are driven to tackle the most critical technical challenges of
the time. You thrive on the unknown and bring a proactive, “can-do” attitude to
every team project, consistently taking ownership to drive exceptional results.
You are excited to explore and experiment with the latest AI capabilities,
embracing emerging technologies with curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to
adopt them in practice. 

FOR THIS ROLE, YOU WILL NEED: 

* Master’s degree or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering,
Artificial Intelligence, Software / Communications Engineering, Information
Technology, or a related field 
* 0 to 7+ years of hands-on experience applying AI technologies such as LLMs,
context engineering, MCP, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), AI
evaluation, training/inference, and agentic workflows gained through academic
projects, internships, work, research, or personal projects 
* Experience developing software in Python and proficiency with common data
science and machine learning libraries such as PyTorch, Pandas, NumPy, or
Scikit-Learn 
* Strong foundation in software engineering, including modern languages, APIs,
software design, testing, and version control 
* Curiosity to learn new technologies and apply them to solve real-world
engineering challenges 
* Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate within
multidisciplinary teams 
* Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now and in the
future
* Individuals with temporary visas such as E, F-1 (including those with OPT
or CPT), H-1, H-2, L-1, B, J or TN, or who need sponsorship for work
authorization now or in the future, are not eligible for hire. 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS THAT SET YOU APART: 

* Hands-on experience with measurement systems, test automation, or engineering
data analysis 
* Experience in test & measurement or engineering domains beyond software 
* Experience deploying, monitoring, or evaluating AI solutions
