Role Overview

We are seeking an AI Software Solutions Engineer to join our Digital and Photonics Software R&D team. In this role you will develop and integrate software that brings AI-powered capabilities into digital measurement instrument products. The position calls for solid software engineering skills and hands-on knowledge of Digital and Photonics measurements, together with a strong interest in applying Generative AI and agentic (multi-agent) techniques. Working independently on defined assignments and alongside senior engineers and the Solutions Architect, you will help deliver production-ready features for these products.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering and Delivery

Apply Digital and Photonics measurement domain knowledge to design, build, test, and debug software features for products such as sampling and realtime oscilloscopes, BERTs, and AWGs.

Determine and develop approaches to assigned features and components, working independently to deliver reliable, well-tested, maintainable software through the full development lifecycle.

Implement AI-enabled data flows and features defined by the Solutions Architect and senior engineers - which could include ingestion, preprocessing, feature extraction, model inference, and post-processing - ensuring data integrity and traceability.

Contribute to solution and component design reviews, applying software design patterns, performance optimization, and maintainability best practices.

Use Git and CI/CD pipelines and write automated tests to ensure quality and repeatable delivery.

Applied AI

Learn and apply Generative AI and agentic techniques - prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool/function calling, and multi-step reasoning - to implement product features under the direction of the Solutions Architect and senior engineers.

Help evaluate AI components, models, and libraries and integrate the selected approaches into product software.

Team Member

Work as a contributing member of a team of Digital and Photonics Measurement domain experts and AI engineers; help plan, estimate, and track your own tasks to meet milestones.

Participate in a culture of experimentation, rigorous AI evaluation, and responsible AI development.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Coordinate with Product Management, QA, and validation to clarify requirements and ensure features are reliable, explainable, and auditable.

Communicate progress, risks, and technical questions clearly to your team and the Project Manager.

Qualifications:

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Data Science, or a related field, and typically 4-5 years of relevant software development experience.

Working knowledge of, or hands-on exposure to, Digital and Photonics measurement instruments (e.g., oscilloscopes, BERTs, AWGs) - or a strong foundation in a closely related measurement or signal-processing domain with the ability to ramp quickly.

Proficiency in one or more modern software languages such as C++, C#, Python, Rust, or Java.

Experience with Git and CI/CD pipeline workflows.

Solid grounding in software design patterns, testing, and debugging, with the ability to work independently on defined assignments.

Demonstrated experience delivering software components into production or product environments.

Familiarity with - and a strong desire to learn - how AI-powered software is built (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation and agentic techniques).

Preferred Qualifications

Experience developing instrument, embedded, or real-time software, including hardware/software integration or signal-processing pipelines.

Hands-on exposure to AI/ML libraries or agentic frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, or similar orchestration toolkits.

Exposure to deploying AI/ML models on edge or embedded platforms.

Familiarity with responsible AI practices and explainability tooling (e.g., SHAP, LIME).

Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across functions.
