Embedded Software Engineer

For a project in the defense sector, TXT E-TECH is looking for a Middle-Level Embedded DSP Engineer to join a technical team working on the porting, integration, and validation of a communication infrastructure between Texas Instruments DSPs and FPGA devices. The selected candidate will contribute to the evolution of the hardware communication layer by analyzing the existing implementation, porting it to a new DSP platform, and supporting integration and debugging activities on embedded systems.Main Responsibilities

Main Responsibilities

• 
  
• Support the porting of the MHAL (Modem Hardware Abstraction Layer) message transport infrastructure used for communication between DSP and FPGA;
  
• Analyze the existing implementation running on Texas Instruments TMS320C6457 DSP;
  
• Analyze the current MHAL layer based on RapidIO / SRIO;
  
• Port the software to the Texas Instruments TMS320C6657 DSP platform;
  
• Configure the DSP as a PCI Express Endpoint and implement communication with the FPGA over PCIe;
  
• Develop interrupt-driven (IRQ-based) message reception mechanisms;
  
• Adapt low-level drivers and message transport mechanisms to the new architecture;
  
• Support functional verification of the DSP-FPGA communication channel;
  
• Perform embedded debugging activities using Code Composer Studio;
  
• Support FPGA integration activities and troubleshoot issues identified during system integration;
  
• Produce and maintain the technical documentation required for software release.
