Algorithm Developer - Based in Abu Dhabi

Algorithm Engineer

Location: Abu Dhabi

Duration: Permanent

We are a leading advanced technology group focused on developing innovative and secure communication products and solutions for governments and businesses globally.

As an Algorithm Engineer, you will be instrumental in the design, simulation, and validation of core networking algorithms and protocols for advanced wireless communication systems. You will play a key role in ensuring the performance and robustness of our next-generation secure communication networks.

Key Responsibilities

Algorithm and Protocol Development

• Design and simulate Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) algorithms and protocols for wireless communication networks.
• Develop and simulate algorithms and protocols specifically for MAC (Media Access Control), LLC (Logical Link Control), Routing, and Scheduling within MANETs (Mobile Ad-hoc Networks).

Simulation and Validation

• Define and develop detailed simulation scenarios, including parameters for mobility and traffic modelling.
• Create simulation and performance evaluation scripts to rigorously test and analyze network behaviour.
• Execute simulations and validate Layer 2 performance using established network simulation tools such as OMNeT++ or NS-3.

Performance Analysis and Reporting

• Define comprehensive logging information and develop efficient tools to accurately extract and analyse key performance statistics from the Layer 2 simulation results.
• Document all Layer 2 simulation methodologies, performance analyses, and testing procedures.
• Prepare and deliver detailed technical reports and presentations to communicate progress, findings, and strategic recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Collaboration and Integration

• Collaborate closely with Waveform Architects, Principal Simulation Engineers, Embedded Software Engineers, and other development teams to ensure seamless integration of developed algorithms into target hardware and software platforms.
• Actively participate in design reviews, code reviews, and cross-functional troubleshooting sessions to maintain high-quality standards.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Expertise in C++ and Python programming languages.
• Strong expertise with network simulation tools, such as OMNeT++ or similar tools used for wireless network simulation.
• Solid background and understanding of the physical layer concepts for wireless communication systems.
• Demonstrable experience in the development and simulation of network protocols, particularly at Layer 2 (MAC, LLC, Routing, Scheduling).
• Experience working within a multi-disciplinary team environment.
