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 Data acquisition chain ADC DAC interfaces Sensor readout electronics Analog signal conditioning 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 Instrument controller Concept, design and test of payload computers Knowledge of applied memory technologies Mass Memory storage units Concept, design and test of mass memories and the applied memory technologies Knowledge of filebased systems and the CFTP protocol HW SW partitioning and corresponding tradeoffs HHighspeed networks for data transmission and command control Experience with highspeed serial linkbased systems and the testing of these interfaces SpaceWire, SpaceFibre and related protocols Protocols providing quality of service, reliability, determinism and FDIR Ethernetbased 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.
