Job description

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.
