Python Software Engineer jobs in United States

Principal Wireless Protocol Engineer
Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE (Relocation Required)

We are partnered with a leading technology provider specializing in secure communication solutions. Their products and services support mission-critical operations across defense, aerospace, and telecommunications, ensuring high-performance and secure communication in the most demanding environments.

As a Principal Wireless Protocol Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing and implementing advanced MAC Layer software for wireless communication systems, leveraging real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Xilinx UltraScale+ SoCs with ARM processors .

• Wireless MAC Layer Development
• Design and implement Layer 2 (MAC Layer) software in C/C++ for wireless communication systems.
• Optimize MAC layer performance under real-time operating constraints.
• RTOS-based Embedded Software Development
• Develop and debug embedded software running on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ThreadX, or µC/OS-III.
• Ensure low-latency, deterministic execution for mission-critical applications.
• Hardware/Software Integration
• Work with Xilinx UltraScale+ MPSoCs (ARM Cortex-A53 and Cortex-R5).
• Perform board bring-up, debugging, and profiling on FPGA, DSP, and CPU-based systems.
• Secure Boot and Firmware Updates
• Implement secure boot processes and secure firmware update mechanisms.
• Ensure firmware integrity and compliance with industry security standards.
• Software Profiling and Optimization
• Use trace and profiling tools to analyze software/hardware interactions.
• Optimize performance for MAC Layer execution on ARM-based SoCs.
• Compliance and Security Standards
• Develop solutions aligned with ISO 27001, NIST, Common Criteria, and ARM Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) requirements.

• 10+ years of embedded software development, particularly in wireless communication systems.
• Proven experience implementing a Wireless MAC Layer in C/C++.
• Hands-on development with RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ThreadX, µC/OS-III) for MAC Layer applications.
• Strong knowledge of ARM CPU architecture (Cortex-A53, Cortex-R5) and Xilinx SoCs.
• Experience with embedded Linux and low-level driver development.
• Skilled in debugging, board bring-up, and system-level troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of SDR, waveforms, SatCom, Defense, Wi‑Fi, LTE, and 5G is a strong plus.
