Role & Missions
As part of the R&D System and Software team, the apprentice will participate in the development of the embedded software for DC-DC converter control application for Silicon Mobility’s OLEA® FPCU System-on-Chip dedicated to automotive applications.
The apprentice will contribute to the development, integration, and configuration of the software modules from specification down to verification using dedicated testing tools, covering the AGILE development flow with the project team.
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:
- Requirements analysis
As part of this task, the apprentice will get familiar with the proposed DC-DC control algorithm, the architecture of OLEA® FPCU, the development tools used including OLEA® COMPOSER environment and flow. A particular attention will be paid to the interface and resources to be used by the DC-DC application and the relevant safety concepts.
- System and 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 modules definition and interfaces, configuration, and integration principles
- Embedded software design for code generation
- User guide and engineering documentation compliant with the ISO 26262 standard.
- System and Software development
During this task, the apprentice will have to develop, integrate, and validate the different components of the embedded software.
