Family Description

Applied R&D (AR) consists of target-oriented research either with the goal of solving a particular problem / answering a specific question or for multi-discipline design, development, and implementation of hardware, software, and systems including maintenance support. Supplies techno-economic consulting to clients. AR work is characterised by its detailed and complex nature in order to systematically combine existing knowledge and practices to further develop and incrementally improve products, operational processes, and customer-specific feature development.

Subfamily Description

Digital Hardware (DHA) comprises the specification, design, and implementation of digital hardware (baseband hardware) while applying design targets such as low cost, high yield, and high reliability. Digital boards are high_density boards with numerous components including high speed connections and high precision reference clocks. DHA requires analogue design knowhow and simulation capabilities.
