Testimonials
Benjamin Hoos
Systems R&D Mechanical Engineer | NI Austin
"I was very nervous because this was my first job out of college, but this year exemplified why I picked NI. Being part of Generation NI turned my 5-year plan into a 1-year plan!"
Natalie Kabeshita
Solutions Engineer | NI Tokyo
"Connecting with NIers around the world was a window into the bigger picture. I learned how decisions are made, who our stakeholders are, and how NI is organized. I gained a much better idea of how I could add value to the business, and most importantly, it made me realize I belonged to a community of people doing big things."
Ayodele Aigbe
Summer Intern 2020 | NI Austin
"My summer at NI truly inspired me to continue to Engineer Ambitiously, finding innovative ways to solve real-world problems. I started Hangio as a way to solve a problem I had in my own closet, which required me to leverage my problem-solving skills to devise a fresh approach to an old problem."
