Contract LabVIEW Software Engineer – up to £55ph - Outside IR35
Gatwick - Hybrid - ASAP start - 3 months initially
We're recruiting on behalf of a client for a Contract LabVIEW Software Engineer to review, improve, and productionize an existing final test application for a thermal management controller product. The test rack is already built. This is a software-first engagement focused on getting the LabVIEW application, sequence reliability, and logging into a robust, manufacturing-ready state.
Responsibilities:
- Reviewing an existing LabVIEW final test application for structure, maintainability, and production usability
- Improving test sequence flow, operator prompts, error handling, and fault isolation messaging
- Reviewing/improving comms handling — bootloader/application checks, controller communications, status verification
- Improving logging for serial number, software version, config data, results, and failure reasons (full traceability)
- Creating/updating the LabVIEW executable deployment package and documenting the release baseline
- Supporting hardware and fixture debug alongside the software work where needed, and supporting pilot production runs
