Role Details

The role encompasses several areas within the company. The primary role
covers RTOS & device driver porting to embedded hardware, subsystem
development, QA of releases, and as experience grows; technical support.

Embedded Development
The successful candidate will, if required, be mentored to help form a
basic familiarization with embedded application development under eCos,
and an understanding of the porting process. This will provide the
foundation to further develop the necessary experience and knowledge to
take on more demanding engineering tasks.

Testing and QA
The quality of our RTOS releases is critical to customer satisfaction,
contract compliance, and reduction in ongoing technical support load.
Much of the testing and release engineering are automated processes that
require monitoring and analysis, but the final QA pass is necessarily
manual in nature and involves running through a scripted checklist of
functionality tests.

Back-end Technical Support
Initially this will necessarily be a limited role, but will grow with
experience and knowledge of eCos and associated development tools.

We provide a flexible and relaxed work environment. There is good
opportunity for building experience and technical skills in a variety of
areas, and depending on interest this can lead to changes in the primary
and secondary roles - the quid pro quo is that staff are expected to
understand the need to support the changing task priorities due to the
ebb and flow of customer contracts and development priorities.

Regards, Paul.
