Engineers and scientists now can join an online community of experts, NI Developer Zone, to help them design and implement measurement and automation systems.
Horn began his career at National Instruments as an applications engineer in 2003 after graduating with an honours degree in electronics with broadcast engineering from Brighton University.
As with all National Instruments applications engineers, he was enrolled into the Engineering Leadership Programme (ELP), described as the premier training program mefor individuals interested in career development at National Instruments.
While in this programme, new hires develop product knowledge as well as leadership skills, which prepare them for successful careers.
National Instruments's 'promote from within' policy coupled with its rapid growth demands a steady flow of qualified engineers to fill positions in marketing and technical sales.
"At National Instruments, we always hire the brightest and best engineers straight from university" said Ian Bell, regional technical marketing manager.
"The Engineering Leadership Programme, with it's blend of on-the-job and class-based learning, really gives our graduate engineers a headstart in their field-based careers and it contributes to the success of our direct sales approach".
Throughout two years of intensive training on products and applications, ELP Engineers - the interface between National Instruments and its customers - deliver creative and timely solutions to customers' technical issues.
They work extensively with every department in the company, primarily assisting sales and marketing - but also feeding information back to product design and manufacturing.
Because of the broad exposure to the company coupled with short-term assignments with technical sales and marketing, ELP engineers can establish the direction they want to pursue in their careers.
In addition, they have the opportunity for travel within UK/Ireland (and potentially internationally) to conduct customer training and seminars, attend trade shows and give product presentations. Request free introductory details about products from National Instruments ...
