Embedded Electronic Engineer
Employer
Odos Imaging Ltd
Role Description
The project is primarily aimed toward the further development of the existing software to control Odos Imaging’s camera systems. The software will run as an embedded program. The graduate will refine and retune the software program for product release. The ultimate success of this project will be the production release of the camera and software programs, together with a well written code base and appropriate documentation. There is significant scope for innovation in writing both efficient and potentially novel code.
The role will encompass software prototyping, design for production, debug, and embedded software maintenance. The graduate will report to the VP Systems Development.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the embedded software contained within camera systems. The role will encompass software prototyping, design for production, debug, and software maintenance. It is expected that the successful candidate will be able to contribute to algorithm development, and understand the relation of embedded software to the entire system.
Typical daily tasks will include:
- Assisting in the development of software.
- Use of a revision control system.
- Contributing to the design of software modules.
- Debugging of software.
- Testing that programs perform correctly within a camera system.
It is expected that in the first instance, tasks will be small and well defined, primarily aimed toward improvements to existing code. As the candidate gains more understanding of the embedded system, tasks will broaden toward larger modules of code, and additional new modules.
As part of the TalentScotland Graduate Placement Programme, the candidate will benefit from support from a team within Scottish Enterprise and will have access to training.
