Functieomschrijving

Radar data, real time, no room for sloppy code.

A multinational defence organisation in The Hague is implementing a set of engineering change proposals in its air surveillance software - the passive sensor and sensor control components - and needs an experienced C/C++ developer to deliver them.

What you would be doing

  • Implementing engineering changes in C/C++ sensor and sensor control software on Unix
  • Applying sound engineering practice: version control in Git, testing and documentation
  • Working through interfaces with radar and other sensors, and the network side when it gets in the way
  • Collaborating closely with the wider engineering team

What you would bring

  • Solid experience developing software in C/C++, with Git
  • Good understanding of software engineering best practice, testing and documentation
  • Several years of Unix experience
  • A strong team player
  • A plus: real-time air domain applications (sensors, tactical data links, flight plans), radar interfaces, and network troubleshooting (TCP/IP, VPN, VLAN, firewalls, DNS)

Why this one is worth a look

It is real engineering on mission software with a clear scope, where good C++ is exactly what is needed.
