multiple roles in development of Digital Wireless Multi-Channel Microphone System
(Industrie und Maschinenbau, 1000-5000 Mitarbeiter)
Industry sector: Professional Audio
Software architecture and software development, software team leader, embedded&distributed systems design and integration.
Entry project: remote control network gateway (embedded Linux, Linux kernel drivers)
Follow-up project:
Software architecture and software development for large and high-profile product development project, an innovative digital multichannel wireless receiver. The project completed successfully, and the product has been launched into production.
Product link:
http://de-de.sennheiser.com/drahtlose-mikrofonsysteme-audio-receiver-multichannel-em-9046
The project was nominated for the „Deutscher Zukunftspreis - Preis des Bundespräsidenten für Technologie und Innovation 2008“ („German Future Award of the Federal President for Technology and Innovation“). Link:
http://www.deutscher-zukunftspreis.de/en/content/team-3-10
The multichannel receiver is a highly complex system composed of two main processor units (system control/graphical user interface, one PowerPC each), and up to 14 additional DSPs and signal processing FPGAs. Multiple receiver units collaborate when networked, additionally PC applications for controlling and monitoring are part of the system.
The design and development challenges were most diverse, ranging from consultation in hardware design over the system, communication, and software architecture to concepts for producing and verifying the devices.
The project closed as a full success, and to broad acclaim of the market.
