Descripción del empleo

Indra is shaping the future of defense by developing the next generation of high-performance radar systems that will safeguard airspace, strengthen air defence, and support some of the most ambitious modernization initiatives in the sector.

These are transformative, high-impact programs where technology and purpose meet. If you're passionate about engineering solutions that matter — systems that detect, protect, and enable superior decision-making — we invite you to join us and help build the radar capability of tomorrow.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, verify, and integrate embedded software for radar systems in real-time and resource-constrained environments.
• Implement low-level software interacting directly with hardware components.
• Develop robust and efficient code in C/C++ with a focus on performance, memory optimization, and reliability.
• Configure and customize Linux-based systems, including kernel tuning, device drivers, and real-time extensions.
• Design and maintain communication interfaces using protocols such as UDP/TCP, SNMP, and MODBUS.
• Utilize virtualization tools (Docker, QEMU, KVM) for development, testing, and deployment.
• Ensure compliance with defense-grade software quality standards (e.g., NATO AQAP).
• Produce well-documented, maintainable code and contribute to continuous improvement of software development processes.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including systems, hardware, and integration engineers.

Your Profile

• Degree in Telematics, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in embedded software development for defense or industrial systems.
• Proficiency in C and C++ programming languages.
• Strong knowledge of Linux systems and virtualization environments.
• Experience with communication protocols and hardware-software integration.
• Familiarity with MATLAB for data processing and model-based design is a plus.
• Understanding of signal and data processing techniques (filtering, detection, fusion) is valued.
• English is a must; Spanish is a plus.
• Eligibility for NATO clearance.

What We Offer

• Work on strategic defense programs.
• Hybrid work model (Madrid + remote).
• Permanent contract with flexible benefits (health insurance, meal vouchers, etc.).
• Defined career development plan in a high-tech, mission-driven environment.
