The Opportunity
Opportunities exist within the C5S group for new product development for 3rd or 4th year Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering students. The selected candidates will join a dedicated team of engineers engaged in the design and development of rugged advanced circuit card level products based on VME, VPX, CompactPCI, and PMC/XMC standards, as well as custom architectures. Products such as Single Board Computers, Graphics Processors, Intelligent Communication Controllers, and Communication Switches are continually being developed by the Curtiss-Wright Engineering team to meet the requirements for operation in our customers’ harshest environments.
Enjoy the challenge and rewards of circuit card development using microprocessors, memories, peripherals, FPGAs and CPLDs in high-speed digital applications. Our products make use of the latest in component technology such as Power Architecture, Arm and x86 architecture processors, as well as nVidia and AMD Graphics Processors. Our commitment to technology leadership is evident in the selection and use of high-end tools such as Mentor Graphics for schematic capture, simulation and PWB layout, and an assortment of test and verification tools to facilitate debugging of high-speed digital designs in extended temperature environments in a well-equipped laboratory.
These are some of the things you may learn about during a work term:
The product development process including concurrent development in a multi-disciplinary team covering electronic design, test development, mechanical design, thermal design, components engineering, PWB design, thermal management, reliability prediction, and configuration management
High speed communications technologies such as PCI Express, SRIO, SATA, and Ethernet
Memory technologies such as DRAM and FLASH (NAND and NOR architectures)
A variety of microprocessors and peripherals
FPGAs from Xilinx, Microsemi and Altera/Intel
Development tools such as Mentor Graphics DxDesigner for schematic capture and simulation
PC-based tools used for FPGA development (synthesis and simulation) using Verilog and VHDL high level descriptor languages
Laboratory tools for test and verification such as high-speed logic analyzers and digital oscilloscopes
Computerized temperature chambers used in verifying card performance over temperature
Development of low-level test software using the C language
Digital and analog circuit design techniques
Manufacturing processes and design for manufacturability and testability
Our work environment is comfortable and casual. We have developed and maintain a culture that supports innovation and employee development through opportunities for experience and mentoring. Our participation in the University Cooperative Education program also forms an integral part of our strategy to developing and growing our engineering team.
