The product portfolio ranges from small portable radars for applications such as border or object surveillance to complex four-dimensional radars capable of detecting small objects at distances from hundreds up to thousands of kilometers.\n\nWithin the software department, the Sensor Processing group is responsible for software development of the optimal control and digital processing functions within the sensors. This work is carried out in multidisciplinary teams collaborating with specialists in system engineering, functional sensor design, and the design and implementation of real-time systems.\n\nAbout the job:\n\nWithin this Sensor Processing group, the complete radar software is developed. This includes various domains such as controlling the radar systems, organizing radar transmissions, and processing the digital information stream. The ultimate goal is to detect and classify specific objects, such as aircraft and drones, track them, and display them on an operator console.\n\nThe software architecture is designed to be highly modular and supports the development of robust and evolutionary systems. Development takes place in Agile teams supported by a modern development toolchain. The teams themselves are responsible for the ongoing development and maintenance of the architecture, the toolchain, and the Agile process.\n\nAbout you:\n\nDo you have a passion for technology and enjoy working on radar controls or complex algorithms?\n\nThen you might be the person we are looking for. We would like to offer you the opportunity to build a career in the international high-tech environment at Thales!\n\nThe requirement is a completed HBO (higher professional education) or WO (university) degree in (technical) computer science or a related field. We expect substantial experience (5 years or more) with the programming languages C and C++ and with developing real-time software. Experience with other programming languages such as Java is a plus.\n\nYou are creative, open-minded, and flexible, and you can operate effectively as a team player. Additionally, you are results-oriented, show initiative, and communicate clearly. A good command of both Dutch and English is necessary for successful function fulfillment.\n\nScreening Criteria:\n\n Experience with Real-Time Software development\n\n Proficiency with Linux operating systems\n\n Experience working as part of a large software development organization\n\n Familiarity with build and deployment tools such as Jenkins, Artifactory, Maven\n\n Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent\n\n Reskilling is possible, but only if the candidate has prior real-time software experience\n\n Eligibility for VGB-B clearance and eligibility for Dutch Eyes-Only classification\n\nWhat's in it for you:\n\n A challenging job in a great team within our high-tech, innovative work environment. Includes the freedom for initiative and good ideas.\n\n Room for personal and professional growth within our organization, for example in regards to technical, commercial or international skills.\n\n A comfortable work space in a modern environment, with a focus on flexibility and the right work/life balance.\n\n You can usually work where and when you want, to be able to do your work as well and efficiently as possible. Within Thales we implement hybrid working, where you can, for example, work from home two days a week if your role allows it.\n\n A good salary, fitting travel allowance, and the ability to personalize your employment conditions. For instance, you can trade days off for our bicycle plan or company fitness.\n\n 40 days paid-time-off per year.\n\nSecurity Requirements\n\nIn line with Thales' Baseline Security requirements, candidates will be asked to provide evidence of identity, eligibility to work in The Netherlands and employment and/or education history. This vacancy requires a security clearance which can require further evidence to be provided.\n\nA government clearance will be requested as part of standard Thales procedures.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4271,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Netherlands","iso":"NL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T18:15:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":26,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":0.85,"p_active":0.556,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":26,"expected_fill_days":20,"reasons":["seen:26","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/thales-software-engineer-c-smu-team","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/thales-software-engineer-c-smu-team.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T20:39:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8898,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4376469},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4376469"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthales-software-engineer-c-smu-team"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fthales-software-engineer-c-smu-team"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fthales-software-engineer-c-smu-team"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/thales-software-engineer-c-smu-team\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthales-software-engineer-c-smu-team"}]}
