Senior Software Engineer

Robert Bosch GmbH is currently engaged in a process targeting mass production and sale of a HUD (Head Up Display) based on recent laser technology. A major part of this process consists of usability studies as well as comparison between the new LASER display and traditional LCD displays, which are currently used in upper class cars.

ICT Embedded Software GmbH has to provide a technical solution to estimate user's reaction times i.e. the time between the HUD information is projected and visible on the car's windscreen and the user's reaction to it. The test environment being created in this project is not limited to the HUD developed by the Robert Bosch GmbH, but also to third party HUD. Connectivity and control of the latter should be established through reverse engineering.

The test environment is based on PC as control unit and contains sophisticated external measurement equipment and interfaces, which provide communication via RS232, CAN and MOST.

• Reverse engineering of existing Win32 project emulating an LCD HUD
• Object Oriented design and protocol stack development
• Responsible for software integration and test of software modules from other engineers
• Analysing and rectifying software defects in the areas of Windows API, MOST and CAN
• Project documentation

The customer is using the test environment to conduct various user reaction tests

My Apprenticeship years gave me the opportunity to acquire a broad knowledge of electrical circuits in the scope of scientific applications. In a challenging environment that provided education and the opportunity to work on real projects I went through the whole hardware life cycle. It started with the design of the electrical circuit on a workstation. Transferring these schematics into a printed circuit board (PCB) design was a semi-automatic process that required a sound knowledge of component specifications. Developing multi-layered boards in the chemical facility was the next step in the manufacturing process followed by putting the components into place. Good soldering skills were as important as the ability to work with surface mounted device (SMT) components. The latter involved the creation of extra layer for the solder paste and programming temperature profiles for the soldering oven. These boards were used in different scientific applications. One example is a fibre optic transmitter used in a hazardous magnetic environment.
