XXX:
I saw your resume today and am contacting you to see if you may be interested in an 18 month contract or a permanent, direct hire opportunity based in Christchurch, New Zealand. (Work must be performed on-site. Telecommuting is not an option.) Your return airfare and two weeks’ furnished lodging will be provided to help you get settled here along with some other goodies including 5% bonus paid after 9 months and 5% paid at the end of the 18 month contract. Salaries range: $120k-$140k/year
My client needs a couple of embedded Software Engineers who have networking development experience, ie one permanent and the other contract. Any prior radio protocols, TCP/IP, Cisco Routers, VDP and/or VOIP along with debugging Network Analyzers in a client/server environment with Agile, GNU, synthesis analysis and/or integration background experience is desired.
Here is a deion of the project for your review, keeping in mind that some of the information is geared more towards a Signal Processing engineer and that prior DSP experience is NOT required for either of these two vacancies.
Job deion:
The position is at our R&D base, in Christchurch, NZ.
The position is within the Infrastructure team, developing a new Base Station.
The position is within the DSP Team, with a focus on development of a new TDMA physical layer.
The DSP Engineer will contribute to the development of new Infrastructure products. The role will encompass modelling and simulation, conversion of signal processing functionality to fixed point C/C++, development and extension of unit tests, integration of signal processing functionality within control code, development of integration tests, integration with the target OS and target device drivers, execution of product-level tests, generation of relevant documentation. We are looking for someone to pick up some existing signal processing models (much of the algorithmic work is already done), complete them, and assist in taking the signal path through to product.
Core Competencies
- Skilled in C/C++
- Development experience with fixed-point DSPs (especially TI and specifically C64+ - we use a Davinci C6443)
- Knowledge/experience of real-time embedded systems
- Knowledge/experience of physical layers for wireless systems (modulation, demodulation, synchronisation, channel coding)
- Experience with tools of the trade (VCS, JTAG debuggers, digital scopes, RF test gear)
The perfect candidate would have .....
- experience in developing TDMA physical layers in wireless products, from modelling in Matlab through to field trialling of working systems.
- working knowledge of the product level tests required for RF receivers and transmitters and experience in physically executing these tests
- knowledge of peripheral disciplines (RF, digital hardware, FPGA, application software)
- experience working in both Windows and Linux environments.
- some familiarity with structured software development practices (unit test frameworks, continuous integration concepts)
- experience in working within an 'agile' development team.
- awareness of 'design patterns' and large-scale architectural issues.
Contract will start around this June.
Please reply with a copy of your (a) resume in Word, (b) preferred landline and cell phone numbers and (c) available start date if you wish to be considered for this DSP Software Engineer position in beautiful Christchurch, New Zealand.
