Opportunity for someone who speaks Mandarin

"One of our long-time customers is looking for a good Forth programmer to help him on a project in China. You would need to be fluent and literate in Mandarin. And Forth! Your Forth skills should include embedded programming (in SwiftX would be a huge plus) and knowledge of the Atmel AVR processors would also be helpful."

Please contact me directly on my company email (leon@forth.com).

SEA, Paris, France

Forth developer(s) to create a bottom-up FPGA Forth processor & environment

About us:
SEA designs and sells distributed architecture solutions from preliminary analysis to final implementation, targeting all industry sectors. We base our solutions on FPGA occasionally including IP processors.

In order to enlarge our range of applications, we are creating a complete development chain, from the IP processor to a full-fledged ANS-Forth compatible environment.

Working under the highest safety requirements (aerospace, transportation, ...), we must build this environment from the roots up with features not found in usual Forth implementations.

SEA is tiny and fast growing.

Project conditions:
This project phase one deals with the roots: Processor simulation and design, VHDL IP development, minimal interactive level utilities (target monitor, assembly, compiler, ..).

This phase is NOT for Public Domain diffusion and shall be conducted under strict non-disclosure agreements.

Phase two (2-3 years from now) will bring the environment to Public-Domain shared works to reach ANS-Forth compliance. This phase is unlikely to require the same skills.

Job summary:
We are looking for one or more skilled Forth developers to undertake the phase one of this long-term project. Scheduled actions:

  1. WIN32Forth processor simulator to evaluate the H/W architecture and instruction set
  2. Teaming with the VHDL designer for the concept integration
  3. WIN32Forth cross-compiler, target Monitor, test set
  4. ANS-Forth compatible project documentation

Required Skills and Experience:
The ability to write such a compiler from scratch
Strong experience of low-level embedded systems
Ability to team up with engineers located in France (English sample in this ad)
Plus:
Digital Signal Processing
DO-254 & DO-178B/C awareness
GNU environment awareness
