Skills: PythonYou want to help build Europe's resilience. You want to protect people and critical infrastructure - ultimately saving the lives of thousands. You want to work at the frontier of high-performance autonomous systems.At CDDS, you'll build the software platform that connects our next-generation interceptor drones with sensors and operators, the nervous system of a counter-drone defense network protecting critical infrastructure and, ultimately, saving lives.We're looking for a strong all-around software engineer to:Build the platform that fuses radar, sensors, and third-party data into a single, real-time operational picture Integrate our drones with external systems at low latency, under conditions where reliability isn't optional Design fleet-management tooling to monitor, configure, and coordinate drones operating in the fieldThis is real-time, safety-critical software with actual physical stakes. You'll work close to hardware, close to operators, and close to the mission. We move fast and priorities shift as the threat landscape does.Tasks -----What you will ownArchitect the ground-segment platform that fuses radar and multi-sensor data into a real-time operational picture, under latency budgets where milliseconds decide outcomes Build the integration layer connecting our drones to third-party sensors and platforms, designing the plugins and data interfaces that make it work reliably in the field Design and own fleet-management and provisioning tooling that commands and coordinates a live interceptor fleet Profile, tune, and harden system performance so it holds up under real-world load Work close to the field: see your code deployed on real hardware, in front of real customersRequirements ------------REQUIREMENTSMSc or PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field from a top-tier university, with an outstanding track record 3+ years of professional experience building production software, with deep, demonstrable Python expertise Fluen…Sign in to see the original postingBrowse more developer jobs on RoleBurst
