About the role

Overview:

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.

Responsibilities:

What You'll Do

You'll own meaningful pieces of the software stack, from low-level algorithm development to customer-facing features. Day to day, that means writing and shipping application software on Windows and Linux, developing signal-processing and analysis algorithms, and building self-tests that keep code quality high.

A growing part of this role involves AI - both as a tool to accelerate your own development workflow and as a feature set you'll implement directly for customers. You'll research what users actually need, translate those needs into well-scoped work, and collaborate closely with product planners, marketing, and QA to bring it all together. We work in standard agile cycles, so you'll have a consistent rhythm of planning, shipping, and iterating.

Qualifications:

0–3 years of professional software development experience

B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

Hands-on experience with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and hardware interfaces

Solid understanding of electrical engineering principles, digital design, and electronic components

Proven ability to build, test, and debug software across the full development lifecycle

Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming and software design principles

Preferred Qualifications

Knowledge of analog circuit design and mixed-signal systems

Experience using digital oscilloscopes or other bench test and measurement equipment

GUI development using Windows WPF

Proficiency in C++ or C# using Microsoft Visual Studio

Experience with Git-based source control workflows

Familiarity with Atlassian tools (Confluence, Jira, Bitbucket) in an agile development environment
