2007 ? 2010 Development Engineer and Production Manager at UEMIS AG Corporation

• Co-development of an innovative diving computer (as watch on the wrist)
• ARM9 controller with vector floating point unit and real time OS (EmbOS)
• Joint responsibility for the HW and intermediary for the external electronics Partner
• Development of most (90%) drivers
• Development of a specific flash loader, boot loader and programming tools in C and Python / WxWidgets
• Design and Implementation of the software architecture of the embedded system
• Porting the database SQLite for usage on the real time OS from Segger (EmbOS, VFS (virtual files system))
• Interfacing an external Simulink/Matlab application (Real Time Workshop / Simulink Coder) in a flexible extendable way
• Concept and realization of 3 different low power and wakeup modes, controlling all the hardware and the other
  software components allowing a determined sleep process
• Joint development of some parts of the diving relevant calculations. Also implementation of Diver Decompression
  Time Table (recursive, using the given Simulink Real Time Workshop code)
• Introduction, installation and maintenance of different tools for better collaboration (Subversion, Bugzilla etc.)
