1. LABOR CATEGORIES I QUALIFICATIONS

1.1 Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Software Development

Tasking is for on-site component and systems research and development. Successful execution of task will be evaluated based on quality of product.

1.1.1 Labor Category:

DSP Engineer (Hardware and Software) (KEY PERSONNEL)

Education:

• BS Electrical Engineering with specialization in the development of digital signal processing and software, firmware, and hardware.

Education and experience is substituted on a one to two year ratio.

Security Clearance:

• Secret minimum

Experience Requirements:

In addition to the above stated education requirements or equivalencies, the following minimum experience is required:

• 5 years experience in digital signal processing algorithm development and implementation.

• Demonstrated knowledge of the requirements, alternatives, workings, interrelationships and tradeoffs of

DSP based systems and leading-edge technologies relevant to these systems.

• Demonstrated knowledge in current digital circuit and software design including digital signal acquisition and processing technologies.

• Experience developing signal acquisition systems based on the Annapolis Microsystems Wildstar platform.

• Demonstrated experience with the COREFIRE FPGA programming environment (With respect to the

Wildstar platform).

• Demonstrated history of software development using the target high-bandwidth processing hardware and the requisite developmental systems.

• Demonstrated experience with the established DSP techniques including FFTs, convolution, digital filters, number system conversions, vector algebra, trigonometry, and other more esoteric algorithms.

• Demonstrated ability to design digital assemblies, subassemblies and circuits using all currently existing digital circuit design and fabrication technologies.

Personnel Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience with the development and integration of digital signal acquisition systems including the application of high speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital signal processors (DSPs) shall be required.

• Demonstrated knowledge of the current digital logic families to include, but not limited to, the integration and programming of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

• Experience with a variety of target systems, including PowerPC , Athlon or Pentium microprocessors, and their operating systems, to include Linux, Unix, and Windows.

• Experience with relevant industry standard compilers and development tools such as Microsoft Visual C++.

• Experience with widely available modern programming languages (e.g., C and C++) to develop near real-time applications to run under commercial real time operating systems (RTOS), primarily Wind River VxWorks.

• Experience with developing custom interfaces and, when required, make modifications and/or additions to the RTOS source. This software development requires extensive knowledge of the selected RTOS and the design and test tools available. Various low-level components including device drivers and Interrupt Services Routines may be required to support specialized hardware.

• Demostrate advanced software development capability including programming in Assembly Language, YHDL, Visual C++ and MATLAB. This also includes a demonstrated capability in system and module definition and documentation and fluency in computer aided design (CAD) modeling of systems and digital circuitry.
