Technical Marketing Engineer

Liquid Instruments builds advanced test and measurement technology for engineers and scientists who need flexibility, performance, and precision. Founded by scientists from the Australian National University and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, we bring deep expertise in high-speed digital signal processing and ultra-sensitive instrumentation—technology originally developed for measuring gravitational waves.

Our flagship platform, Moku, is a reconfigurable, FPGA-based test solution that enables friction-free customization across both simple measurements and complex, multi-instrument environments. By combining powerful hardware with intuitive software, we deliver a unique balance of versatility, performance, and cost.

Liquid Instruments is headquartered in Canberra, Australia, with a U.S. office in Del Mar (San Diego), California.
