General MRO Aerospace (GMA) is a globally recognized FAA 145 Repair Station that specializes in maintenance and repairs of hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, fuel and electromechanical aircraft components. Since 2006, we have consistently set new industry standards in all aspects of our business by providing unmatched flexibility, tailored services, and highly competitive turnaround times.
We are seeking a skilled LabVIEW Software Developer to design, build, and optimize high-performance data acquisition (DAQ) and automated test systems. In this role, you will interface National Instruments (NI) software with physical sensors and instruments to collect, process, and log critical engineering data. The ideal candidate possesses a deep understanding of hardware-software integration, signal conditioning, and modular LabVIEW code design. This position requires working on-site. If you have what it takes to perform this job, then we want you in our team!
Requirements
Responsibilities:
- System Architecture: Design, program, and debug scalable LabVIEW applications using modular frameworks like State Machines or Producer-Consumer architectures.
- Hardware Interfacing: Configure and integrate National Instruments hardware using the NI-DAQmx API, including CompactRIO (cRIO), PXI chassis, and DAQ modules.
- Sensor Integration: Connect and calibrate diverse sensors such as thermocouples, strain gauges, pressure transducers, and accelerometers.
- Data Processing: Develop virtual instruments (VIs) tasked with real-time signal processing, noise filtering, and anti-aliasing mathematical routines.
- Data Automation: Build automated test sequencing pipelines, error handling frameworks, and secure data-logging routines.
- Collaboration: Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and test engineering teams to transform physical test requirements into functional graphical code.
Required Technical Skills:
- LabVIEW Expertise: Minimum 3–5 years of dedicated practical programming experience using National Instruments LabVIEW.
- DAQ Protocol Proficiency: Mastery of NI-DAQmx, alongside instrumentation protocols like GPIB, RS-232, Modbus, and TCP/IP.
