FPGA/DSP Signal Processing Developer
Nortek Scientific is a newly formed company dedicated to developing innovative underwater acoustic sensors for high resolution measurements of water velocity and sediment transport. Working closely with parent company Nortek AS (Norway) and academic partners at Dalhousie University and Memorial University, we will be engaging in cutting edge underwater acoustic physics, advanced Doppler processing, transducer design and firmware & software development.
The first project will focus on the optimization and commercialization of a prototype multi-frequency current profiler for high resolution measurements of water current velocity and suspended sediments in aquatic environments. The prototype high resolution multi-frequency current profiler was developed as a partnership between oceanographic and underwater acoustics experts Dr. Alex Hay and Dr. Len Zedel. Initial laboratory results are very encouraging and suggest that the innovative multi-frequency capability provides a new paradigm for spatial and temporal resolution and velocity range. A description of the prototype system performance and capabilities was presented at the 2008 Current Meter Technology Conference
(http://www.nortekusa.com/PDF/CMTC08_MultiFreq.pdf).
Nortek Scientific is located in Canada's National Research Council (NRC) Industrial Partnership Facility on the Dalhousie University campus (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada). We are seeking candidates with a strong history of and commitment to innovative research & development. Salaries are competitive and commensurate with experience.
