• Assess algorithms for real-world, embedded performance

• Produce requirements and design documentation as required

• Develop models for algorithms in accordance with Departmental Practices

• Assist in the development of test and verification plans as required

• Support implementation of current generation and next generation algorithms in target hardware

• Work with design Engineering to integrate and debug algorithms as required

• Follow trends in both industry and academia (GPU\xe2\x80\x99s, FPGA\xe2\x80\x99s, computer vision, machine learning etc)

• Provide input to and attend design reviews for projects associated with algorithm development

• Participate in NPI meetings as required

Required Capabilities

• Reading and understanding IEEE style research papers

• Modelling and simulation of complex algorithms
