WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING
1. Capture and analyse the requirements for the embedded system(s); Liaise with other stakeholders to build up the technical requirements for the product, and identify/research suitable approaches and architectural solutions that can satisfy the project goals (schedule, cost, quality, etc.).
2. Produce and develop technical documentation to describe the system design; Create and maintain detailed system and software specifications, using appropriate techniques and visual models. These specifications may be design proposals, or an explanation of agreed and realised solutions. Expected to host technical reviews with stakeholders to critique and improve these designs.
3. Design, produce, and maintain embedded code; Produce software modules in accordance with the architectural design requirements, using appropriate model-based design tools and conventions. Conduct peer reviews with other engineers to assess the quality of software designs.
4. Plan and undertake verification testing of modules and integrated systems; Evaluate the embedded solution(s), working with other team members to produce test plans. Conduct tests in accordance with plans, ensuring that the systems function as expected. Identify any countermeasures and improvements for issues such as evaluation failures, bugs and changes in requirements.
5. Manage the delivery of the embedded system and software at trial stages, and into production; Control and monitor team plans/schedules for the delivery of embedded systems and software in projects.
