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.\nOur 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.\nThe Digital Photonics Center of Excellence (DP-COE), part of Keysight Technologies, is responsible for developing innovative products in the critical portfolio segment of Oscilloscopes, Photonics, AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator), BERT (Bit Error Rate Tester), Digitizer, Logic Analysis, and Protocol Analysis. These products enable engineering teams worldwide to design with higher efficiency and quality across Computer, Semiconductor, Wireless, Automotive, Storage, Communication, and Quantum industries.\nYour software architecture decisions will directly shape the test and measurement systems that give engineering teams worldwide the tools to test, calibrate, and validate next-generation wireless, photonics, and quantum technologies.\nAs a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for the design, development, and evolution of software components for Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) products, with a focus on software architecture. Working closely with R&D teams and product stakeholders, you will translate customer and product requirements into well-engineered software designs and high-quality implementations that deliver innovative, reliable, and scalable solutions.\nIn this role, you will own critical features and subsystems, influence architectural decisions, and actively mentor other engineers while upholding high standards for software quality, compliance, performance, and maintainability across the product platform.\nResponsibilities\nIndependently design and implement software features, taking ownership of components from concept through delivery.\nDefine and evolve the software architecture for AWG product components, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and long-term performance.\nCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate customer and product requirements into clear technical requirements and practical implementation approaches.\nDevelop and maintain high-quality, testable code in alignment with established standards, contributing to the team’s engineering practices and long-term maintainability.\nLead debugging and issue resolution for complex problems to improve system stability, performance, and user experience.\nContinuously expand technical expertise in relevant technologies and interfaces, applying new knowledge to enhance product capabilities.\nActively contribute to code reviews and technical discussions, providing constructive feedback and helping to maintain high engineering standards.\nQualifications\nEssential:\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.\n8+ years of R&D experience in software product development.\nSolid experience in C# and C++ for professional application development.\nProven experience designing and evolving software architecture for complex, large-scale systems.\nUnderstanding of software design principles and OOP.\nUse AI tools throughout the development workflow, backed by strong core software development skills.\nExperience with modern development practices (version control, CI/CD, testing)\nWillingness to learn new technologies and tools.\nGood communication and teamwork skills.\nStrong command of English in written and spoken communication.\nPreferred:\nKnowledge of multithreading and performance tuning.\nExperience in Git, Jira, Confluence.\nGood German language skills or willing to learn.\nCareers Privacy Statement
