Senior C Engineer - Radio Frequency Applications

Senior C++ Engineer – Radio Frequency Applications

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE

Working Pattern: On site

Type: Permanent

Salary: Dependent on experience

Relocation: Open to candidates relocating — international applicants welcome

Company: Tektora, supporting an established defence technology client

Tektora are supporting an established defence technology client building radio frequency products in Abu Dhabi, and are looking to speak with experienced C++ engineers for their R&D team.

This role is open to relocation. The client is actively considering candidates from outside the UAE and will support the move for the right person.

This role would suit a systems-level C++ engineer who wants to be close to the hardware — real-time, multi-threaded software driving RF applications, taken from design through bring-up to a verified product.

The Role

You Will Be Involved In

• Designing, developing, optimising and integrating software for radio frequency applications
• Working across the product development lifecycle — inception and design, bring-up, optimisation and verification
• Implementing algorithms handed over from the domain specialists
• Designing and building tests and test interfaces to validate your own code
• Applying sound design principles throughout
  
  

Key Experience Required

• 10+ years of proven software development experience
• Extensive C++, including modern standards
• Object-oriented design principles — a prerequisite, not a nice-to-have
• Extensive Linux experience; Ubuntu desirable
• Extensive multi-threaded, real-time software design, implementation and debugging
• Standard development tooling — Git, Jira or another issue tracker, Conan or a comparable package manager
• MSc in Computer Engineering or similar
  
  

Desirable Experience

• C and/or Python
• Docker
• Hands-on with lab equipment — signal generators, spectrum analysers, logic analysers, oscilloscopes
• Software-defined radio, DSP or another RF-adjacent domain
  
  

Interested?

Tektora are looking to speak with experienced C++ engineers from a real-time or RF background who are open to relocating to Abu Dhabi.

Please apply with your CV and we will be in touch to discuss the opportunity, the package and the relocation support in more detail.
