About the Role
We're looking for an experienced WPF GUI Engineer to design and build the user interface for our real-time digital oscilloscope platform. You'll own the software layer responsible for rendering high-speed waveform data, live measurements, and instrument controls on embedded Windows hardware.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement WPF interfaces for real-time waveform display, including live trace rendering, persistence modes, and multi-channel overlays
- Implement instrument-control UI: trigger configuration, timebase/voltage scaling, channel setup, cursors, and automated measurements (rise time, frequency, amplitude, etc.)
- Design UI behavior for deep memory acquisition, waveform decimation/downsampling for display, and zoom/pan across captured records
- Build touch- and knob/encoder-friendly interfaces for front-panel hardware controls alongside on-screen UI
- Ensure UI stability and responsiveness during sustained real-time operation (hours/days of continuous capture)
- Implement MVVM architecture that cleanly separates acquisition data models from rendering and control logic
Qualifications:
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional experience building WPF applications for desktop or embedded Windows environments
- Strong proficiency in C# and .NET, with experience in performance-critical, real-time-adjacent UI code
- Deep understanding of MVVM, data binding, dependency properties, and custom control/template development in XAML
- Solid grasp of multithreading and producer/consumer patterns for handling continuous data acquisition feeds without blocking the UI thread
- Strong debugging and profiling skills for latency, frame timing, and memory usage in long-running applications
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with user interface technologies such as QT or Avalonia
- Experience with SciChart graphical software
- Familiarity with oscilloscope concepts: triggering, sampling theory, FFT/spectral display
- Experience with GPU-accelerated rendering (DirectX, SharpDX, Vortice.Windows, or similar)
- Familiarity with Windows IoT Enterprise or embedded Windows deployment for instrument-grade hardware
Exposure to industry-standard remote instrument control protocols (SCPI, VISA, LXI)
Experience interfacing with embedded acquisition hardware (FPGA, ADC front-ends, or similar) via shared memory, DMA buffers, or custom drivers
