Additional Information
The ARTISAN 3D radar signal processor uses a Mercury Computers PowerPC-based multi-processor hardware solution. The Project requires additional software engineers to join the Signal Processor team developing a variety of functionality covering underlying software infrastructure and communications, the built in test capabilities of the signal processor and implementation of radar signal processing algorithm transforms.
The development will span all lifecycle stages from concept and design to implementation, software integration, acceptance test and system integration.
