Requirements Experience in defining payload data processing systems architectures. Extensive knowledge in signal and image processing techniques and devices. Extensive experience in procurement of spaceflight hardware units, subsystems integration and testing in the space industry Knowledge in spaceflight electronics design related to data acquisition, processing and storage functions, as well as constraints of the space environment. Wide knowledge in communication networks principles, standards and their implementation Ability to work in an autonomous manner, in particular when providing support to projects with high time allocations and this in coordination with the line manager. Specific Tasks A diverse range of support tasks can be carried out by the contractor within the above domains, encompassing hardware, software and system aspects. These can be grouped within the following main headings Payload data acquisition, processing and storage chains, which can be further divided into o Data acquisition chain ADC DAC interfaces Sensor readout electronics Analog signal conditioning o Data processing units Concept, design and test of data processing units Implementation of payload data processing functions on processors e.g. DSP, GPU or uProcessor and FPGAs based platforms Tradeoff analysis and verification of the performance in simulation and hardware o Instrument controller Concept, design and test of payload computers Knowledge of applied memory technologies o Mass Memory storage units Concept, design and test of mass memories and the applied memory technologies Knowledge of file based systems and the CFTP protocol HW SW partitioning and corresponding tradeoffs High speed networks for data transmission and command control o Experience with high speed serial link based systems and the testing of these interfaces o SpaceWire, SpaceFibre and related protocols o Protocols providing quality of service, reliability, determinism and FDIR o Ethernet based systems based on Powerlink, AFDX or similar is an asset Validation of signal and image processing algorithms via simulation techniques e.g. Matlab, prototyping SW Specific engineering support in the above domains to mainstream ESA space projects, mainly for but not restricted to the development and testing phases. Experience in VHDL programming, including reconfiguration and partial reconfiguration techniques is an asset
