Your Role

  • Translate system requirements into robust embedded system architectures, including partitioning across MCU/FPGA/ASIC and software.
  • Select suitable components (MCUs/SoCs, ADC/DACs, clocks, power, memories) and define interfaces to implement the architecture.
  • Design and integrate interfaces to digital (e.g. telemetry/telecommand buses) and analog (e.g. Photodiodes) peripherals and components.
  • Develop high-throughput digital signal processing units for real-time acquisition, filtering and processing of digital data streams.
  • Develop embedded software (C/C++ on bare-metal and/or RTOS), including boot, drivers, middleware, and application logic.
  • Collaborate closely with FPGA, hardware, and optical engineering teams to deliver complex quantum-cryptography solutions.
  • Create documentation: requirements, interface control documents, design specs, and verification plans.
  • Establish quality practices: code reviews, static analysis, unit/integration testing, and CI for firmware.
  • Contribute to system security, reliability, EMC/EMI, and DfX considerations throughout the lifecycle.

Your Profile
