Description of the job

Airbus Defence and Space (Elancourt) is looking for an intern for a 5 to 6 month internship.

Used in many telecommunications and observations satellites, SCOC3 is an ASIC which contains multiple interfaces (TMTC, 1553, CAN, Spacewire, GPIO, dating, etc) as well as a Leon3 processor (SPARC architecture).
The Engineering departments need to write test programs embedded in this ASIC in an efficient and standardised manner, which requires low-level drivers.

This internship will start on 1st March 2017 (subject to some flexibility).

Tasks & accountabilities

Your objective during the internship will be to produce libraries (in C) which can be used to control each of the ASIC modules in a standardised manner.
The purpose of this is to facilitate the writing and debugging of test scripts which have a programming part which is embedded in the SCOC3.
These libraries must all comply with the same interface and coding rules, and must function in an RTOS multi-task environment.
A user manual must be produced for these libraries.
The improvement of an existing compilation chain could also be addressed, in order to simplify the development of these libraries.
Tests of these libraries will be performed on real targets as development progresses.
The IDE used will be Eclipse.

You are in the final year of engineering school, completing a Master's degree, or in the 5th year of university, specialising in Engineering/Real-Time Systems.

You ideally have initial professional experience.

You have the following skills/knowledge:

·  Specialised knowledge of embedded systems
·  Proficiency in C and the gcc compilation chain
