• Design and develop new LabVIEW applications for data acquisition, process control, and automation as required.
• Implement LabVIEW best practices, coding standards, and architectural frameworks to ensure scalable and supportable solutions.
• Implement and manage version control systems (e.g. Git or NI Software Lifecycle Management) for LabVIEW applications.
• Establish effective branching, merging, and release management strategies to ensure clear versioning and traceability.
• Contribute to automated build and deployment processes for LabVIEW executables and installers to maintain consistent production deployment.
• Write and optimize SQL queries, stored procedures, and views (MySQL, Oracle) to support data extraction, transformation, and reporting needs.
• Develop Python scripts for data manipulation, cleaning, and ETL processes to automate operational data workflows.
• Ensure structured data outputs from LabVIEW applications for downstream integration with Oracle ERP and analytical systems.
• Contribute to the maintenance and improvement of desktop-based GUI CRUD applications built with Electron, React, and JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Assist in troubleshooting and enhancing the user interface of internal tools that interact with SQL databases.
• Effectively use AI-assisted development tools such as Windsurf IDE and NI Nigel AI to enhance software development productivity.
• Identify areas of practical AI tool application and provide feedback to support continuous improvement of development workflows.
