KUALA LUMPUR – National Instruments, a global technology company that began operations in Malaysia in 2009 with an $80 million capital investment, today announced plans for a significant expansion of the research and development (R&D) center in Penang. Over the next five years, NI plans to recruit 250 engineers in the Penang R&D center in electrical, mechanical and engineering management.

Once completed, the expansion will make NI Penang the largest R&D center for National Instruments outside of its headquarters in Austin, Texas. National Instruments provides engineers and scientists with software and hardware to meet any engineering challenge, including test, measurement, control and embedded design applications.
