National Instruments Info-Session Days September 30-October 1st.

About National Instruments
National Instruments is a technology pioneer and leader in virtual instrumentation -- a revolutionary concept that has changed the way engineers and scientists approach measurement and automation. Leveraging the PC and its related technologies, virtual instrumentation increases productivity and lowers costs for customers worldwide through easy-to-integrate software, such as the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment, and modular hardware, such as PXI modules for data acquisition, instrument control and machine vision.

National Instruments was voted as one of the top 100 companies to work for by Fortune Magazine for the 15^th year in a row, was included in BusinessWeek’s “Best Places to Launch a Career”, and was voted one of America’s “Best Places to Work” by Glassdoor.com. These three distinctions are not limited to just engineering companies, but all companies in any industry.

Along with a large number of software and hardware development roles, many of our new engineers choose to start in the Engineering Leadership Program (ELP).  In this program, engineers learn leadership and business skills on top of technical product knowledge.  They spend their first few years at NI working directly with customers solving problems, with the sales team helping to drive product sales, and with marketing helping to increase awareness of our products.  After 1-3 years in the program, the engineers will transition out of their intro role into a Technical Sales, Technical Marketing, System-Level Support or R&D project management roles.

Available positions
Please visit www.ni.com/careers or search for National Instruments on the Career Resource Center website.
We are primarily recruiting for Software and ELP Interns for Summer 2015, and we also have a large number of full time Software and ELP positions available. A smaller number of Hardware full time and internships are available as well.
