Job description

Ready to level up your coding skills and join the ultimate tech adventure? Buckle up for an epic ride as a co‑op student at TacCIS Solutions!

You’ll be the mastermind behind keeping our troops connected in style. Channel your inner MacGyver to retrofit tanks and armored vehicles with cutting‑edge comms gear. Who said tanks can’t be trendy? Flex your coding muscles on projects cooler than a polar bear’s toenails. Your code will literally drive tanks and command posts! Join our hybrid work environment - toggle between your home base and our top‑secret (okay, not really) electronics lab. It’s like having two secret lairs! Be part of a team that’s always got your six. Together, we’ll conquer the battlefield of technology and keep our armed forces at the top of their game.
