Firmware/Software Requirements
There are two areas of software/firmware development that are required: 1. Real-time embedded Linux and FPGA development. 2. Firmware development for sensor controllers and the various component boards.

The skills required for each of these are:

Embedded Linux Development

• Experience developing multi-threaded embedded Linux solutions for networking applications

o PThreads experience a plus (this is an industry-standard multi-threading framework)
o Ability to code and debug Linux device drivers
o Ability to implement very low-latency (under 5 msec) TCP and UDP clients and servers
o Ability to create custom board support packages (BSPs) for system-on-chip (SoC) devices

• Experience developing for ARM-based system-on-chip (SoC) devices

o Familiarity with the Altera (formerly Client) Cyclone V and/or Arria 10 SoC family
o Ability to use the Altera Quartus II or Quartus Prime development environment for SoC development
o Ability to create custom board support packages (BSPs) for SoCs
o Ability to implement needed hardware functionality in the SoC's FPGA fabric

• Sufficient knowledge of electronic hardware to support the implementation and testing of new or existing hardware

o Particular focus on networking hardware knowledge

Firmware Development

• Experience developing with the Microchip dsPIC and PIC32 family of processors using the Microchip MPLAB and MPLAB X IDEs

o Ability to code applications in C and to at least understand assembly language code
o Ability to code non-operating system-based applications
o Need to be able to work with the legacy MPLAB and current MPLAB X IDEs
o Knowledge of the Microchip Harmony 1 and Harmony 3 frameworks
o Ability to implement very low-latency (under 5 msec) TCP and UDP clients and servers

• Sufficient knowledge of electronic hardware and the Microchip devices to support the implementation and testing of new or existing hardware

o Networking hardware knowledge
o Knowledge of support circuitry required for processor functionality
