AtoS Convergence Creators SRL

Senior FPGA & DSP development engineer

Projects description

One of our major business is to provide turnkey systems and solutions for satellite testing. These testsystems are to be used during the different phases of assembly, integration and verification and test ofthe various subsystems of a satellite (radio frequency units, telemetry and telecommand interfaces andprocessing, power supplies and simulation, payload and instruments).The test systems are designed, configured, assembled, integrated and tested in our labs and finallydelivered to our customers (major satellite manufacturers) and commissioned at their premises. The testsystems comprise our own products for satellite protection and interface testing and are fully controlledby our test software. Some of our equipment accompanies the satellite to its launch site and is used toverify the satellites proper functioning via umbilical cables till lift-off. The projects are usually run inmulticultural teams.
