Embedded Systems Engineer

Job Overview:

The system consists of multiple process boards (COPO) that perform specialist functions. Each type of COPO runs a unique application. Applications log internal messages locally on their COPO system. External messages will be stored on a single COPO. The logging work is to design and implement a logging system within the product. It is not to add logging messages to the code. WP3 defines the development of the Recovery Application. This is the application that is run by our bootloader if it fails to run the main application. The recovery application allows new firmware to be uploaded to the product (based on TFTP) and creates a simple application that can be booted into in the case of failures.
