JOBS IN LABVIEW

[ANAND]

Hi

I have been doing a lot of programming in LABVIEW over the past one year
and completed a lot of projects as part of my university research and classes.


I am still not clear if there are a lot of jobs in LABVIEW. Do they pay well?

Is it worth making a career out of it?

Thanks,

AJAY

At a recent engineering open house, I spoke to a Process Control Engineer
who was partner in a consulting firm. He said that he has not seen the use
of Labview in a commercial environmnent and that it largely remains an
academic tool (at least as far as Process Control Engineering is concerned).

I worked for Lockheed Martin for 5 years and earned a great living and achieved
many successes using LabView for process control in a Six Sigma Blackbelt
Process Engineering role. I have seen it in other industries also, particularly
automotive, pharmaceutical, and other types of research and manufacturing
where process control is critical. I would look at the user solutions on
the National Instruments website and do a search for jobs that require labview
and see how many bites you get. While the person you spoke with may not
have seen it, I have. Good luck!

I am a Labview developer a "commercial" one at that, don't buy into what
was said about Labview being and academic tool. I would say more people
use it in industry than in the universities. The PC engineer most likely
assumes
his firms SW tools represent a majority of tools used by other firms. I
think
this statement is untrue.

I'm currently looking for a LabView professional to work in my organization.
I have three developers in the group already, and can't keep up with the
workload. We use LabView to automate the test process at our manufacturing
sites around the world.

I am a LabVIEW professional with more than 4 years of experience, along
with being an MSEE. I can do work on contract. You can get more details by

I have worked in the automotive test and development industry for 8 years and aerospace development for several months and in both industries LabVIEW have been used extensively. It as become one of the main tools used in testing and six sigma analysis.

Ajay, I too have worked with LabVIEW since 1994 (I think, well since LabVIEW 3.1) developing almost all of the software for several of our commercial and miltary test stands/systems in LabVIEW. We love it here. You can see some of our products at http://www.hamiltonsundstrand.com/gse.
I would encourage you to look around for a job developing software or integrating it with this excellent NI hardware. You'll have a whole lot more fun developing in LabVIEW than you will in C++, or Visual whatever; trust me, I know!

BTW, Mr Dupont, if you're in Ohio or Western, PA, I know someone who's looking to move that way! roger.owens@hs.utc.com

Good Luck, Ajay
