Responsibilities:
An Embedded Software C Engineer capable of developing, integrating and testing embedded Software
Producing test requirements & test scripts for Unit, Subsystem and System level testing on both host and target platforms
Running tests, analysing results and using target test facilities such as debuggers, probes, logic analysers and oscilloscopes
Documentation and Design work in UML
Integration of software components with ARM multi-core platforms, FPGA subsystems and RF transceiver interfaces
Support real-time TX/RX data processing, buffering and performance optimisation on embedded targets
Contribute to system integration and verification of Software Defined Radio (SDR) datalink capability.
Skillset/experience required:
Experience of Digital Signal Processing
Experience of the C Programming Language
Experience of testing software products for ARM based multi-core processing platforms
Experience of communications protocols (e.g. SPI, UART, Ethernet, PCI-Express)
Experience of DOORS
Experience of test tools and techniques in both host and target environments
Experience of test tools such as LDRA or equivalent for host testing
Experience in model-based development, either in SysML/UML
Knowledge of Real Time Operating Systems such as PikeOS or FreeRTOS
Understanding of real-time embedded data handling mechanisms such as DMA, interrupts and shared memory
Exposure to wireless modulation or waveform processing concepts (desirable)
Experience working with FPGA or SDR based embedded systems (desirable).
Thank You.
Have a Great Day…
