Project Description

The project focusses on building a new ecosystem and infrastructure for embedded software development, which will support the development of future generations of hearing care products. The initiative started approximately two years ago, with intensive development activities beginning around one year ago. A significant part of the infrastructure is being built from scratch, while selected components are being rewritten from the previous environment. There are currently approximately 100 tasks and components to be delivered, and the project is still evolving, with technical uncertainties and changes in direction. The engagement therefore requires a high level of independence, including the ability to refine implementation approaches, work with incomplete or changing requirements, and adapt when previously developed solutions need to be replaced by a different approach. The project is delivered in an international R&D environment, with strong collaboration with teams in Switzerland and within a scaled Agile model.
The available project areas are:
- Digital Signal and Neural Network Processing: 3 positions, with the first 2 positions being a priority
- Controller Software: 2 positions, including 1 priority position
- Electronic Design: 1 position
- General Infrastructure: 5 positions, including 1 priority position

The scope focusses on designing, implementing, integrating, documenting, and maintaining development tools supporting model-based functional development and embedded application-level development.
