Family Description
Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further developing and incrementally improving products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.
Subfamily Description
Digital Hardware (DHA) comprises the specification, design, and implementation of digital hardware (baseband hardware) while applying design targets such as low cost, high yield, and high reliability. Digital boards are high density boards with numerous components including high speed connections and high precision reference clocks. DHA requires analogue design knowhow and simulation capabilities.
Work is primarily focused on ASIC lab validation and characterization and production qualification. The post-silicon lab validation work charter also involves validation preparation including validation plan and test cases development and executing such tests on emulator environment.
