  Most of our tank control products have an ARM microprocessor running external interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, CAN bus, MIL-STD-1553 bus, or RS422, and are used by our military customers to display battlefield maps, commander or gunner turret controls, etc. Our Video products run an embedded Linux on a more powerful ARM processor, relying on Ethernet connections to push compressed video streams around a vehicle, giving the soldiers inside a better view of what’s happening outside. The product for this position is a blend of both technologies, and provides the solider with video feeds on the screen as well as controls for the thermal viewer and turret motion. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and execution of test cases, which means by the end of the term, you will know how to control a tank’s gun sight!
