Develop DSP algorithms for point cloud processing that target an embedded hardware platform such as a microcontroller, digital signal processor, or FPGA
Understand and translate Matlab models to Verilog, HLS, C/C++ and OpenCL
Develop embedded software components running on an RTOS
Create test harnesses to verify algorithms
Develop tools for verification and debug
Create documentation for new algorithms
Assist in development and integration of inter-processor communication (IPC) as part of a larger embedded system

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent
6 years of industry experience in embedded systems working on digital signal processing
Solid foundation and experience using C and C++ in the embedded domain
Experience using scripting or general-purpose programming language to solve problems
First-hand expertise using an RTOS including definition and scheduling of tasks, integration of board support packages (BSPs), partitioning and use of memory, efficient utilization of I/O, and use and creation of device drivers
General understanding of microcontroller peripherals including ADCs, DACs, Flash, EEPROM, timers, and watchdogs

Preferred Qualifications

Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science
Experience using HLS, Verilog, CUDA, or OpenCL
Understanding of ethernet networking packet formats, including IP, TCP, UDP and VLAN tagging
Development of signal processing or control systems algorithms targeted for an embedded system
Experience working on optical systems, including lasers, photodiodes and cameras
Experience working on high-speed data paths
Knowledge of full lifecycle processes in safety-critical industries such as automotive, medical, or military with a particular interest in first-hand ISO 26262 and Automotive SPICE experience
