Systems Engineer- Radar Core Products

To strengthen our team, we are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Systems Engineer for our Radar Core Products tracking team.

About the team

The tracking team consists of Systems Engineers that develop, maintain and evaluate the tracking building block on functional level. The tracking building block is generally the last part of the radar processing chain, and every search radar that leaves the Thales factory is armed with this building block.

About your future job

Tracking or dynamic state estimation is an important element of sensor processing and can be described as ‘the processing of sensor measurements obtained from objects in order to estimate the states of these objects. The team focusses on the development and implementation of generic algorithms that can support a variety of systems.

Activities include among others:

• prototyping and analysis of tracking, classification and prediction algorithms;
• modelling of sensors, objects and their environments;
• validation and performance analysis of the tracking product and new algorithms;
• requirement engineering and stakeholder discussions.

Keywords for this job description include:

• dynamic state estimation;
• Bayesian processing;
• Stochastics;
• model based system engineering (MBSE).

Why you'd be a good match

• master’s degree in Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or similar;
• affinity with algorithm development, statistics or MBSE;
• knowledge of Matlab/Python and C;
• you identify with a team player having good communication skills;
• you are able to work with other teams (e.g. software and test engineers);
• fluency in spoken and written Dutch and English.

What's in it for you

• A challenging job in a great team within our high-tech, innovative work environment. Includes the freedom for initiative and good ideas.
• Room for personal and professional growth within our organization, for example in regards to technical, commercial or international skills.
• A comfortable work space in a modern environment, with a focus on flexibility and the right work/life balance.
• 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.
• 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.
• 40 days paid-time-off per year. Yes, really.

A government clearance will be requested as part of standard Thales procedures.
