Content / mission

As part of the R&D System and Software team, the apprentice will participate in the development of the software for the electric motor control application.

The apprentice will contribute to the development, integration and configuration of the software modules from specification down to verification using dedicated software testing tools, covering the AGILE development flow with the project team. The Silicon Mobility solution is based on the OLEA® FPCU System-on-Chip dedicated to automotive applications.

The purpose of this apprenticeship is to analyse, define, develop, configure, and test the software solution.

During the apprenticeship period, several tasks will be addressed:

  1. Requirements analysis

As part of this task, the apprentice will be familiar with the Inverter control algorithms, the architecture of OLEA® FPCU, the development tools. A particular attention will be paid to the interface and resources to be used by the Inverter application and the relevant safety concepts.

  1. Software specification

Based on the previous analysis, the apprentice will have to write a detailed specification of the solution in collaboration with other R&D team members as well as the customer support team. This specification shall cover following aspects:

  • Software design, configuration, and integration principles
  • Embedded software design for code generation
  • User guide and engineering documentation compliant with the ISO 26262 standard.
  1. Software development
