About The Position

Tektronix is seeking a mid-level Software Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development of our parametric test system product line. This role is ideal for a technically strong, team-oriented developer who thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment. You’ll work closely with software, hardware, application engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to deliver robust, high-performance solutions that interact with physical test and measurement equipment.

Requirements

Proficiency in Linux environments (RHEL preferred).
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience in software development.
Minimum 3-5 years of experience in object-oriented software development using C/C++.
Demonstrated ability and motivation to quickly learn new technologies, tools, and domains as needed to support evolving project goals.
Strong understanding of software engineering principles, including threading, multiprocessing, advanced data structures, design patterns, coding standards, and secure coding practices.
Proven ability to troubleshoot complex software issues, analyze root causes, and implement effective, maintainable solutions within large, multi-component codebases.
Strong communication skills, including the ability to clearly document technical designs and effectively collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a team-based environment.
Experience with GUI development or user interface design principles.
Experience using version control systems in a collaborative development environment.

Nice To Haves

Experience developing software for complex systems involving hardware control, data acquisition, or precision measurement — especially within domains such as semiconductor testing, electronics manufacturing, or automated test equipment (ATE).
Familiarity with tools and technologies such as Jira, Perforce, Jenkins CI/CD, GTK, Lua, Ethernet, USB, and Make files.
Experience working in Agile development environments and participating in iterative feedback cycles.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, document, and debug software for parametric test systems, ensuring high performance, maintainability, and quality.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including hardware, applications, manufacturing, quality, and marketing—to define requirements, implement integrated solutions, and align on product goals such as performance, cost, and schedule.
Engage in technical collaboration, including design discussions, brainstorming sessions, and peer reviews.
Provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers.
Take ownership of assigned development tasks, delivering high-quality results independently and reliably.
Validate software functionality, performance, and robustness through system-level testing and customer application testing.
Diagnose and resolve software issues in both current and legacy systems, including those deployed at customer sites, and provide remote support to global service teams and customers.
Contribute to process improvement initiatives and help define and promote best practices for software development.
