 Real Time Operating System Engineering for Neurotechnology
Thursday 24 March y
WYSS Center for Bio and Neuroengineering
Campus Biotech, Geneva Switzerland
The Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering (http://wysscenter.ch), a cutting
edge research and translation center for neurotechnology, is seeking a real time
Operating System Engineer to join a team of scientists, clinicians and engineers who
are developing advanced neurotechnology for human applications. The individual
will work both independently and collaboratively in a team to facilitate the
development of flexible operating systems, employing advanced computer
architectures, to process multichannel signals and create control signals for human
medical devices used to evaluate or restore lost nervous system function. The
resulting advanced microprocessor systems will enable read out of neural activity in
various forms to generate dynamically-controlled spatiotemporal activity patterns
that provide closed loop operation for a range of devices.
The position requires: 1.) the ability to independently create software able to
process complex signals and control video or other devices in real time, closed loop
systems 2.) a strong background in both communications theory and/or signal
processing and in appropriate programming languages (MATLAB, python, C/C++,
Simulink). 3.) the ability to develop real time operating systems and validate them.
4. Understanding of real time hardware necessary for reliable, effective system
operations.
Job Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:
–
Research, design, develop and verify software for systems that can achieve
real time signal processing, display and control; define, develop and
implement real time operation of system that can generate command signals
from multichannel input.
–
Develop system requirements, analysis, system architectures, and integrate
new signal processing and control technology systems.
–
Design, develop, implement and analyze systems for the extraction of
information from multiple channel signal sensors for both continuous and
time series data.
The ideal candidate would be flexible and open to providing technical solutions for
multiple neurotechnology applications in a cutting edge, multidisciplinary project-
based environment. The candidate must also be able to work independently to
identify innovative approaches to real time operating systems suitable for human
neurotechnology applications.
Basic Qualifications:
–
Basic qualifications are a masters or PhD Degree in Electrical Engineering or
related discipline with at least 3 years of experience in real time OS,
–
Ability to apply signal and imaging processing principles, theories, and
concepts in software
–
Experience in signal processing design and/or development; implementing
the design in software and hardware
–
Advanced Programming experience for real time OS
–
In depth experience with UNIX development environments
Preferred Qualifications:
–
Strong verbal/written communication skills, along with the ability to work well
within a team environment.
–
Basic understanding of neuroscience, or strong interest in gaining a basic
understanding of this field and the application of real time OS in neural
signal processing and control applications
