New Graduate Development Paths

Direct Entry

Direct entry roles are the most common path for new graduates. If you have a passion in a specific area and want to start building your professional expertise right away, we have different roles for you to apply your knowledge to challenging tasks. NI’s direct entry roles include engineering and non-engineering positions like human resources, marketing, or finance.

Leadership Accelerator

With three hub locations in Austin, Munich, and Shanghai, Generation NI’s cross-functional rotation path called Leadership Accelerator aims to develop customer-obsessed engineering leaders into careers that live at the intersection of business and technology. This selective 2-year path for engineers requires business, engineering technical, business operations, and customer deployment rotations.

Testimonials

Darren Tjung

Operational Insights Analyst I NI Penang

“Since joining in September 2019, NI has given me the opportunity to develop myself both professionally and personally. The guidance from my manager and colleagues helped me onboard quickly and gave me the confidence to perform my work. My role as an analyst in Sales Operations requires me to work with different functional teams in NI. Through these interactions, I found that everyone in NI has been very willing to share their experiences and knowledge to help each other succeed. NI has given me autonomy in my work where I am able to share my opinions and make an impact in the organization.”

“The one thing I appreciated the most in that first 6 months period and started to realize was more unique when talking to friends about their jobs, was that there was a lot of support initially. It was a learning environment. No one expected you to be perfect. They expected you to ask questions when you needed them to help, and they were always there to guide you. That was really helpful to me in my first role out of college in a professional setting. It was nice to know that I didn’t have to know it all and if I needed help there were people there to help me.”
