C++ Software Engineer – SIMS (Radar Core Processing)

ThalesHengeloHybridFull-time3 days ago

Thales Nederland is seeking a C++ Software Engineer for the SIMS team within Radar Core Processing in Hengelo. The role involves designing and developing sensor equipment simulators and Video Injection Units using modern C++ and the proprietary SESx framework, collaborating across teams to integrate with radar systems. Requires 5+ years of C/C++ experience on Linux, a technical degree, and affinity for physics and mathematics.

What you'll do

Design, develop, and maintain sensor equipment simulators and Video Injection Units (VIU) in modern C++ using our proprietary SESx framework.
Build software components capable of injecting synthetic data at various stages of the radar chain, ranging from raw hardware-level radar 'video' up to processed plots and tracks.
Collaborate closely with stakeholders and engineers from other radar product teams to align architectural interfaces and ensure tight, accurate integration with target radar systems.
Partner with domain and physics specialists within the team to translate real-world mathematical and physical models (such as target kinematics, radar cross-sections, and environmental clutter) into reliable, performant C++ code.
Develop complex test scenario capabilities (e.g., multi-target fighter jet maneuvers, coordinated drone swarms) to push the boundaries of our radar verification capabilities.
Participate in the full Agile software lifecycle, ensuring simulator releases stay synchronized with evolving radar product roadmaps.
