About the job

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.

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.
