A strong foundation in both electronics and embedded systems is required, but Digital Signal Processing (DSP) experience is essential. Specifically, you should have:
\n
- \n
- Practical experience implementing DSP techniques in embedded systems (hardware and/or firmware)
- Understanding of filtering concepts, including IIR and FIR filters
- Knowledge of decimation chains and signal conditioning
- Experience working with high data rates (e.g. tens of kS/s across multiple channels)
- Ability to optimise processing to avoid CPU bottlenecks
