Jakob contributed to the SpaceTeam/STS1_COBC_SW repository by developing and optimizing embedded firmware features focused on RF communication reliability and data throughput. He implemented a modem RX data path optimization in C++ that reduced processing overhead by minimizing verbose debug output, resulting in faster and more reliable data reception. Jakob also introduced adaptive preamble length logic to ensure proper amplifier warm-up across varying baud rates, enhancing RF link stability. Additionally, he modularized the RF test suite to support multi-baud-rate testing, including 9600 baud, using low-level programming and configuration skills. His work demonstrated depth in embedded systems and rigorous validation practices.

2025-09 Monthly summary for SpaceTeam/STS1_COBC_SW: Focused on delivering reliable RF communication functionality and scalable test coverage to accelerate integration and improve field reliability. Key features delivered include adaptive preamble length for amplifier turn-on to ensure proper RF warm-up across data rates, and a modular RF test suite enabling multi-baud-rate testing with 9600 baud support. These changes reduce warm-up-related failures, improve RF link reliability across operating conditions, and expand validation coverage. Technologies demonstrated include dynamic modem property updates (SetConstantModemProperties, SetDataRate) and RF test scaffolding with RfReceive.test.cpp and RfSend.test.cpp.
