• • Design, develop, and maintain algorithms and software components for our SDPs, following the SDP Communication Stack and SCA (for instance) standards and guidelines.
  • Implement Waveform Algorithm Components and related Software Components, compliant with standard and customized Communication Theory and Application, such as for Link Layer, Network Layer, Transportation Layer, and Application Layer.
  • Collaborate closely with hardware engineers, software developers, and system architects to ensure compatibility and interoperability of Physical Layer and Software Application Services.
  • Translate System Requirements into efficient and scalable Waveform Algorithm Components and Software Designs, considering both Functional and Non-Functional Requirements.
  • Conduct thorough testing and validation of algorithm and software components, to ensure compliance with SDP Communication Stack, SCA specifications and industry standards.
  • Optimize performance and reliability of algorithm software modules through code optimization and system tuning techniques.
  • Stay updated with the latest developments in Waveform Communication Stack and SCA standards and best practices, incorporating them into our software development processes.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to junior developers and cross-functional teams.
  • Document design specifications, implementation details, and test procedures for future reference and knowledge sharing.
  • Provide progress/technical updates to the engineering manager, technical authority or project manager as necessary.
  • Provide input into the project management plan, notably with timescale estimation and technical risk identification.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to junior developers and cross-functional teams.
  • Preparation of material for phase reviews.
  • Contribute to peer design reviews.
  • Leadership of small teams and projects as required.
  • Field trials support.
  • Proactively support company compliance to Health and Safety legislation through adherence to company policies, processes and practices.
  • Ensure that all business activity is conducted in line with company values, policies and ethics codes of conduct.
  • Undertake any other activity as reasonably requested by management.
