Research Associate (Embedded Systems)
Date: 3 May 2024
Location: COLLEGE OF DESIGN & ENG, Kent Ridge Campus, SG
Company: National University of Singapore
Job Description
The Satellite Technology and Research Centre (STAR) focuses on building miniaturized satellites that could fly in multiples for formation and constellation flying. It is envisioned that this will open out new potential applications such as collaborative sensing for the environment, more timely and scalable communication services. Satellite mission of these applications will in general require advanced technology such as active propulsion control of the satellites, highly precise inter-satellite navigation, advanced attitude control etc.
Satellite software at STAR features the development of Flight Software (Microcontroller/FPGA based subsystems) and Ground Software (Mission Control and Test GUI), adapted for use in different mission requirements of each program. We are looking for passionate Embedded Systems engineers for Flight Software to join our team, bringing innovative ideas and solutions to our satellite programs.
About the job
• Pioneer embedded software development for mission critical systems in spacecraft
• Participate in spacecraft SDLC and ensure quality through design, coding, and testing
• Solve problems across our multidisciplinary team to ensure smooth integration of satellite subsystems
• Innovate and explore potential upcoming embedded system technologies for satellite applications
Qualifications
What we look for
• Master's degree in engineering from a reputable university
• Minimum 2 years of working experience in designing embedded systems
• Highly skilled in Microcontroller programming and FPGA design
• Adept in RTOS for mission-critical systems with proficiency in peripherals (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART)
• Comprehensive knowledge of using development tools (analyzers and oscilloscopes) and software IDEs
• Basic understanding of hardware and ability to read schematics
• Familiar with Git and Jenkins
• Experience in Java and Python is a plus
• Team-oriented individual with good inter-personal skills
