What the buyer wants

To support market development, our algorithms must be implemented on standard PC platforms, ported to embedded hardware, and partly demonstrated and tested in real time. The modular design of the software libraries and their development across organizational units, as well as the complex and prototypical nature of the project work with frequently changing requirements, requires close cooperation between the contractor and the project managers of the various working groups. For this reason, the tasks described are to be carried out in part at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Erlangen-Tennenlohe in order to enable direct coordination with project management and the contractor. As a rule, planning meetings in presence take place once a week in the institute building. Furthermore, flexibility in working hours is needed in order to be able to react promptly to urgent adjustments and the willingness to travel nationally and internationally. Further information can be found in the service description.

  2. Lot 2Los 2: „Optimierung und Implementierung

    Zur Unterstützung der Produktentwicklung müssen neue Algorithmen in vorhandene Softwareumgebungen, insbesondere in die Fraunhofer upHear Voice Quality Enhancement Software, integriert, auf PC-Plattformen implementiert, auf eingebettete Hardware portiert, sowie getestet werden. Der modulare Aufbau der Software-Bibliotheken und deren Entwicklung über Organisationseinheiten hinweg, sowie der komplexe und prototypische Charakter der Projektarbeit mit häufig wechselnden Anforderungen erfordert eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem Auftragnehmer und den Projektleitern der Arbeitsgruppe. Daher sollen die beschriebenen Aufgaben zum Teil am Fraunhofer Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen in Erlangen-Tennenlohe erbracht werden, um eine direkte Abstimmung mit Projektleitung und dem Auftragnehmer zu ermöglichen. In der Regel finden Planungsmeetings in Präsenz einmal wöchentlich im Institutsgebäude statt. Des Weiteren ist eine Flexibilität der Arbeitszeiten vonnöten, um auf dringende Anpassungen zeitnah reagieren zu können, sowie die Bereitschaft zu nationalen und internationalen Dienstreisen. Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der Leistungsbeschreibung.
