Location: Hengelo, Netherlands

About the team
We make a hardware and software solution called the TACTICOS Combat Management System. TACTICOS can be considered the brain onboard naval vessels, ranging from frigates, destroyers and small patrol crafts. The information from sensors (radar, sonar for example) is collected within TACTICOS, which then provides an overview of all that’s happening around the ship allowing operators to get a good situational awareness and to respond as needed with connected effectors (weapons or electronic counter measures for example). Missions on board these vessels range from humanitarian assistance during earthquakes, combatting piracy and drug smuggling, military engagements and more. TACTICOS technology is used on board more than 160 ships operated by 25 navies worldwide. Learn more about TACTICOS here: www.thalesgroup.com/en/tacticos-combat-management-system.

The department CMS-Interface Products is in charge of the integration of all sensors and weapon systems for the ship with the Combat & Information Management Systems. 

About your future job

Our teams are all very much focused on delivering very high quality software solutions. Teams contain 7 to 9 people and the roles of scrum master, product owner, architect, tester and developer are clearly defined. Your team receives work packages that may take 6 to 12 months to complete, during which time the team is fully responsible for the planning, architecture and quality. We believe in supporting our developers, so that they can do their best work and continuous improvement is key. We help each other all the time; since in-depth naval domain knowledge takes time to acquire. When in doubt we communicate with other teams like System Engineering and Operational Experts, who have real life experience on a ship.

The software is mostly based on Java and is supported by a modern development environment. You will work with the following tools and techniques:

Thales offers careers, not just jobs. You will have the opportunity to develop towards an expert in your area of expertise such as Tech Leads, Software Architects or Specialists. Or if you are an excellent organizer, you may find that in a career path of Scrum Master, Product Owner or Team Manager.
