Job Description:
Working within the defence sector, our client is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Layer 2-3 Link and Network Protocol Software Lead to join our growing team.
The role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a cross-layer development team to develop emerging technologies, enabling secure, interoperable, and resilient defence-hardened military off-the-shelf (MOTS) C5 hardware solutions aligned with defence end user requirements. The work will involve classified elements and will require candidates to obtain UK security clearance.
As Layer 2-3 Lead, you will work in a multidisciplinary delivery team, steered by the Chief Scientist and Chief Engineer. You will be responsible for implementing, testing, and supporting acoustic protocol developments in this new family of products.
Your responsibilities will include implementing emerging Layer 2 (link) and Layer 3 (network) acoustic protocols and supporting future development and innovations to align these protocols with defence end user tactical communication requirements.
You will develop and help specify cross-layer interfaces to support advanced link and network layer capabilities including adaptive and directed beamforming, adaptive modulation, adaptive media access control (MAC) strategies, and advanced hybrid ARQ methods.
A security clearance is required due to the sensitive nature of the related projects.
Main tasks and duties:
* Innovative Protocol Development: Drive the design, development, and implementation of new and emerging networking protocols for Layer 1-3, tailored to ultra-challenging domains such as tactical, high-latency, and bandwidth-constrained environments.
* Shaping Standards: Contribute to the definition and evolution of next-generation acoustic communication standards.
* Performance Optimization: Build high-performance, low-latency solutions optimized for real-time and mission-critical applications.
* Challenging Channel Solutions: Develop robust and adaptive protocols capable of overcoming noise and interference in environments such as wireless, satellite, and battlefield communications.
* Testing and Validation: Devise and execute test plans to evaluate protocol performance, reliability, and interoperability under extreme operating conditions.
* Multiplatform Build and Deployment: Develop, test, and deploy code using multiplatform build tools (e.g., CMake, Bazel) ensuring cross-platform compatibility.
* Cybersecurity Integration: Ensure protocols meet stringent security requirements, implementing techniques to protect sensitive data.
* Collaboration and Innovation: Work closely with cross-functional teams to ideate and refine groundbreaking solutions.
* Documentation and Dissemination: Create detailed design and implementation documentation and contribute to knowledge sharing.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience
* Active security clearance or the ability to obtain one.
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
* Expertise in programming languages like C, C++, or Rust, focusing on low-level networking development.
* Strong understanding of networking concepts, including Layer 1-3 fundamentals.
* Proficiency in multiplatform build and deployment tools and version control systems like Git.
* Proficiency in developing tools for embedded system performance analysis and debugging.
* Demonstrated experience in secure and reliable communication challenges in constrained environments.
* Ability to conceptualize and prototype new protocol designs to address emerging operational needs.
Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy, you might need a work permit.
