Job description

ADVANCED CONCEPTS, an EDGE Group entity in Abu Dhabi, is developing unmanned aerial systems, loitering munitions, cruise missiles and guided artillery munitions, and every one of them depends on reliable data-links. This Senior Engineer writes the embedded software behind those links, implementing OSI PHY/layer 1 and layer 2 radio on microcontrollers or FPGAs. Work moves between bare-metal firmware and RTOS on ARM Cortex-M parts, device drivers for RF chipsets, and Linux drivers and kernel modules for custom hardware. Interfaces include I2C, UART, SPI, CAN and Ethernet, plus UDP and TCP client/server code on Linux. Board Support Packages and Yocto Linux images are built in-house. Performance tuning focuses on throughput, latency, power consumption and signal quality. Code goes through reviews and version control in Git or SVN, and hardware and software testing are part of the job. Junior engineers will look to you for guidance. Candidates need a Bachelor's or Master's in computer science, communication, electronic or software engineering, at least 8 years in embedded C, C++ and Assembler, and a solid grasp of RF principles including modulation, coding and signal processing.
