Why NI?
- For 40 years, NI has worked with engineers and scientists to provide answers to the most challenging questions. NI systems accelerate productivity, innovation, and discovery through an open, software-defined platform. This approach helps engineers develop and increase the performance of automated test and automated measurement systems.
- We’ve long been globally recognized as a top employer. Our compensation and benefits are very competitive, as are our modern workspaces, career development, and mobility opportunities, and a culture that fosters belonging and emphasizes community giving. If you want to work on cool stuff at a cool company, you are in the right place!
We are changing how we work by offering more flexibility. NI has decided to take a hybrid approach (working both on- and off-site) at an aggregate level. We know that different roles have different requirements, so we’re embracing a full range of options.
