Senior Application Engineer (100%)

Bern, BE

• Establishment of a solid professional network at various hierarchical levels, both in the industrial and academic fields in French-speaking and German-speaking Switzerland
• Management of demos and their various versions for several major industrial and academic events such as SINDEX, EMAB, and MATLAB EXPO, as well as technical presentations on various subjects throughout Switzerland, in French, German, and English at events such as SWISSED, SwissTnet, or ROSAS Safety Days
• Meetings with customers at the management level to discuss, among other things, return on investment, work methodology, project planning, and product time-to-market
• Training colleagues and partners as a technical expert on topics related to configuration management, automation of recurring tasks, automatic code generation, advanced signal processing, analog and digital electronics, system engineering, and embedded systems
• Development of an application on robotics related to Industry 4.0 and management of its software versions. Implementation of control and communication for a real and virtual NAO robot using proprietary NAO messages and Robot Operating System Messages (ROSM) via TCP/IP, respectively. The NAO robot mimics human being motions through the recognition of user skeleton data acquired by a Kinect 2 camera
• Development of a comprehensive MATLAB interface for Trinamic stepper motors to fully control all their functionalities. Creation of the following software layers: : application (graphical user interface), presentation (data formatting and error handling) and link (asynchronous serial data exchange); FileExchange Submission
• Development of a demo to integrate C code generated automatically from a MATLAB algorithm with a C# interface by using an application for the design of analog filters; FileExchange Submission
• Development of a parking automation control algorithm in MATLAB and Simulink, along with an emulator for the automation interface in C#. Establishment of communication between the two entities through a shared memory area. Automatic C code generation fully supported from MATLAB and Simulink algorithms; FileExchange Submission

Application Engineer (100%)

Bern, BE

• Development of demos (using hardware) specific to the fields of control design, signal processing, and modeling of physical systems for the Swiss industry using model-based design and automatic code generation for various embedded platforms (MCUs, DSPs, FPGAs, ASICs, PLCs) and real-time machines for rapid prototyping
• Deployment of an aircraft model on a real-time machine to do real-time simulation and creation of a UDP interface using a joystick to control the aircraft’s movement according to the three degrees of freedom (roll, pitch, yaw)
• Deployment of a MATLAB algorithm interfaced with hardware sensors (accelerometers and attitude) as well as an interface layer to openGL on iOS devices to visualize various objects in 3D according to their spatial orientation
• Interaction with clients to assist them in adopting a working methodology ranging from specifications to modeling, implementation, and integration through testing, verification, and validation in accordance with industrial standards
• Direct interaction with products development to influence on new or current tools capabilities and to report improvements or bugs in tools
• Integration of Subversion and Git version control systems at the enterprise level. Installation and connection of a Jenkins test pipeline to Git in order to follow a software development process based on continuous integration and deployment
