This is a job opportunity to work as part of the Human Machine Interface Division (HMID) and help provide the innovation and inventions to be seen in future years for automotive and industrial design. This is an exciting opportunity to join the world leader in touchscreen and human interface solutions. We are looking for a graduate, or a recent graduate with experience of up to 3 years to join our team. You will be working in a small but highly skilled team, as part of a wider organization within the Whiteley office in the UK and worldwide. You will receive on-the-job and formal training.
As a Firmware Engineer, you will be involved in the full development lifecycle of embedded software for touchscreen and related products—from requirements, through design, implementation, review, test, debug, and documentation. Specifically, we are looking to grow our next Analogue Front-end Programming specialist where a good grounding in Software Engineering Principles is paramount, but also an interest and knowledge in Analogue Electronics and Digital Design is of use here to fully appreciate the signal path for maXTouch measurements. There is an opportunity to grow significantly in these areas and over time, become an expert and contribute to the definition of the next generation of maXTouch products.
Expectations and Responsibilities
* Build domain knowledge in maXTouch products regarding how measurements are made in analogue and digital, and how the resultant data is processed.
* Analyze existing embedded software with a view to understanding it, documenting it, debugging it, and optimizing it.
* Analyze existing Analogue/Digital HW implementation with a view to understanding it, programming it efficiently, and making recommendations for future HW designs.
* Analyze Customer Requirements for embedded software applications.
* Document Architectural and Detailed Design and test specifications.
* Implement software to meet design requirements and implementation standards.
* Perform unit testing and integration testing of embedded software.
* Provide peer review input to others' work—software and documentation.
* Problem solve Customer Issues and provide innovative solutions for new Feature Requests in a Resource Constrained environment.
* Programming in C, Python and Assembly (previous experience is beneficial but not mandatory).
