About the job Senior Engineer
- Waveform (Layer
2)
We are looking for a Senior Engineer
- Waveform (Layer
2) to join a highly skilled engineering team developing next-generation secure wireless communication systems for mission-critical government and defence applications.
This is a hands‑on engineering role focused on the design, simulation and validation of advanced Layer 2 (L2) communication protocols for wireless networks. You'll play a key role in developing MAC, LLC, routing and scheduling algorithms that power secure tactical communications, working alongside waveform architects, simulation specialists and embedded software engineers to bring innovative wireless technologies from concept through to implementation.
WhatYou’ll Do
- Design and develop Layer 2 algorithms and protocols for secure wireless communication systems
- Develop and simulate MAC, LLC, routing and scheduling protocols for MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks)
- Build and maintain network simulation models using tools such as OMNeT++,
NS-3 or similar simulation environments - Design simulation scenarios covering mobility, traffic models and network performance evaluation
- Analyse protocol performance and optimise throughput, latency, reliability and network efficiency
- Develop logging and analysis tools to capture and evaluate key Layer 2 performance metrics
- Produce technical documentation, simulation reports and performance analysis for engineering stakeholders
- Collaborate closely with waveform architects, embedded software engineers and cross‑functional R&D teams to integrate new algorithms into secure communication platforms
- Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews and troubleshooting activities throughout the development lifecycle
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science or a related discipline
- 7+ years’ experience developing or simulating Layer 2 protocols for wireless communication systems
- Strong understanding of wireless communication protocols including MAC, LLC, routing and scheduling
- Experience developing or evaluating protocols for MANET, Wi‑Fi, LTE, 4G or 5G networks
- Strong programming experience with C++ and Python
- Experience using network simulation tools such as OMNeT++,
NS-3 or equivalent - Good understanding of wireless communication systems, including Layer 2 and Physical Layer concepts
- Experience debugging, validating and optimising wireless communication algorithms
- Strong analytical, problem‑solving and communication skills
- Comfortable working within collaborative, multidisciplinary R&D teams delivering advanced communication technologies
