    Overview:

    Keysight is at the forefront of technology innovation, delivering breakthroughs and trusted insights in electronic design, simulation, prototyping, test, manufacturing, and optimization. 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.

     

    Our 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.

     

    We have an opportunity for AI R&D Engineer for SDLC Acceleration: 

     

    • Design, build, and integrate AI‑powered applications and services that accelerate software delivery and developer experience. 
    • Turn problem statements into production‑grade solutions (LLM‑assisted features, RAG/agent workflows, AI‑augmented test automation) - ensure secure, compliant use of AI across the SDLC. 
    • Enable Agentic worklows: Use commercial AI tooling for inducting Agentic AI into Keysight’s Software Engineering and R&D functions. 
    Responsibilities:

    AI Application Development  

    • Partner with IT to drive delivery of new features to internal functions to accelerate SDLC phases. 
    • Combine classical ML, retrieval/agent patterns and leverage LLM capabilities to deliver robust APIs, microservices, and frontends. 
    • Create “golden‑path” reference components for common scenarios (code assistance, documentation summarization, knowledge search, test plan generation).  
    • Demonstrate and produce agentic workflows for security scanning, remediation, and pipeline automation. 

    Platform & Integration 

    • Integrate solutions for central tools (Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, VMware, CloudBees CI/CD etc.). 
    • Collaborate with Secure Software Factory (SSF) and Product Security Applications teams to fold AI features into standard SDLC workflows. 

    Engineering Intelligence & Telemetry (SEI) 

    • Help set up telemetry endpoints and build dashboards/reports that gather adoption and utilization data and capture real-time value benefits of AI tools. 

    Quality, Test & Reliability 

    • Design test strategies for AI features (unit, integration, adversarial, model‑in‑the‑loop); apply Human and AI‑assisted testing and demonstrate self‑healing approaches where suitable. 

     

    Security, Privacy & Compliance 

    • Translate corporate AI governance into developer-friendly approaches: data handling, prompt safety, model access tiers, applying vendor usage rules. 

     

    Collaboration & Enablement 

    • Partner with guilds/forums (NPC, enablement sessions) to share best practices, reusable assets, and developer training content. 
    • Coordinate on releases with IT to ensure new features are tested and enabled for Keysight’s Software Engineering community. 

     

    Qualifications:

     

    Education 

    • Bachelor’s or master's in computer science, electrical/electronic engineering, or related field; advanced ML/AI coursework or certifications preferred. 

     

    Must Have 

    • Experience: 4-8 years in Computer / Software engineering (backend/frontend) with hands‑on AI/ML application development or integration; internships/projects count toward demonstrable capability. 
    • Programming: Proficiency in Python and C#/JavaScript/TypeScript; strong API design (REST/GraphQL), microservices. 
    • AI/ML: Practical experience with LLM tooling (prompting, evaluation, safety), RAG (embeddings/vector stores), and at least one framework (PyTorch, TensorFlow). 
    • Cloud & DevOps: Experience on Azure (preferred) or AWS CI/CD, containers (Docker/K8s), observability (logs/metrics/traces). 
    • Toolchain: Bitbucket, GitHub, Jira/Confluence, Artifactory, Microsoft 365; familiarity with GitHub Copilot and M365 Copilot for developer productivity. 
    • Security & Compliance: Ability to implement secure least‑privilege, data minimization, and secure prompt/data flows. 
    • Soft skills: Clear communication, collaboration across global teams, and a builder’s mindset with ownership of outcomes. 

     

    Preferred 

    • Frontend skills (Angular/React) to deliver end‑to‑end AI‑augmented workflows. 
    • Experience contributing to enablement of guilds or creating internal playbooks/tutorials.
