Location: Hengelo, Netherlands
The role is a software engineering role within our biggest project to date, the F126 ships for the German Navy.
FüWES (Führungs- und WaffenEinsatzSystem) is the command system consisting of TACTICOS with an integrated, newly developed Fire Control solution. The development and integration of all subsystems onboard the ship, is what FüWES is all about. It accounts for the complete development cycle of products and solutions: from concept definition to system design, continuing to system integration and validation, up until the inclusion of delivery onboard the customer vessels. With the complete solution, we enable this new generation of frigates for the German Navy to have the necessary information to Defense Operators in time and to make the right decision within seconds.
To help us build and expand this system, we are looking for a
