The General Dynamics Mission Systems - Canada Advanced Vetronic Systems (AVS) team has a requirement for an Electrical / Software / Computer Engineering student to contribute to the testing and verification of an embedded control panel display which is being developed for the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank.
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 whats 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 tanks gun sight!
