Job description

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 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
• 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.
