•Help maintain code quality, organization, and automatization.

•Working with other departments on technical issues including software system design and maintenance.

•Analyzing information to recommend and plan the installation of new systems or modifications of an existing system.

•Consulting with engineering staff to evaluate software hardware interfaces and develop specifications and performance requirements.

•Give direction to software programming and documentation development.

WHAT YOU BRING

•MSc degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.

•Minimum of 5 years' experience as a C++ software developer with current knowledge of (advanced) C++ 17/20 standards.

•Extensive experience developing and deploying software on Linux, with a strong grasp of multithreaded code and real-time environments.

•Proficiency in Qt and experience with complex algorithms (e.g., image processing or tracking) with real-time performance.

•Knowledge of PostgreSQL databases, JSON, and XML.

•Familiarity with low-level hardware interactions and unit testing using GoogleTest.

•Experience with Bitbucket (or similar), Jira, Qt Creator and CI/CD (Jenkins).

•Solid understanding of the SDLC and experience in Agile/Scrum environments.

•Excellent communication in English (Dutch proficiency is a plus).

Nice to have

•Experience with radar systems or a similar industry.

•Experience with embedded systems design.

•But of course, you should identify with our core values: We trust, We own it & We aim high.

WHAT WE OFFER

•Working for a Great Place to Work® https://www.greatplacetowork.nl/en/certification/certified/robin-radar-systemscertified company.

•Comprehensive pension plan.

•Commuting allowance: our teams work hybrid.

•30 days of paid holiday leave (with the possibility to buy 3 additional days).

•Opportunities to develop your skills even further through training and certifications.

•High quality laptop/desktop, monitor, headphones, and any other equipment necessary for your role.

•An international team of 30+ nationalities, full of high performance colleagues you can exchange experiences with and learn from. As well as having a lot of fun in our social events and Friday drinks!

OUR HIRING PROCESS

1. First interview: An introductory conversation with our Head of Software and one of the Team Leads to discuss your background, experience and mutual cultural fit.

2. Coding challenge: A practical take-home C++ assignment designed to let you showcase your technical skills on your own time.

3. Final interview: A technical deep-dive with 2 other team members to review your solution.
