Location: Hasselt, Belgium (2–3 days on site per week)

Employment Type: Full-time

Sector: Advanced Sensing, Signal Intelligence, Autonomous Sensor Networks

About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing Belgian technology company developing advanced sensor networks and autonomous detection systems used across aerospace, security, and critical infrastructure sectors. Their technology integrates real-time sensing, tracking, and analytics capabilities to support mission-critical operations and enhance situational awareness in high-security environments.

With all R&D and production based in Belgium, the company builds intelligent, scalable, and resilient systems designed for reliability, strategic autonomy, and real-world performance.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a Software Engineer to join the core development team responsible for building the software that powers next-generation sensing, tracking, and signal intelligence systems. You will work across the stack and collaborate closely with hardware, AI, and signal processing specialists to deliver robust, high-performance solutions.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced scale-up environment, enjoys solving complex engineering challenges, and wants to contribute to meaningful technology with real-world impact.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain core software for real-time sensing, data processing, and tracking applications
• Build tools and services that integrate hardware components (SDRs, FPGAs, sensors) with AI-driven analytics
• Work closely with signal processing and AI engineers to deploy algorithms efficiently
• Contribute to the design and optimisation of internal APIs, microservices, and data pipelines
• Work across multiple system layers—from command-line interfaces to backend dashboards
• Improve system performance and reliability through testing, debugging, and code quality best practices

Required Skills & Experience:

• Strong programming skills in Python or C++
• Solid understanding of computer science fundamentals (data structures, networking, I/O)
• Comfortable working in Linux environments with Git and CI/CD workflows
• Curious, pragmatic problem-solver with the ability to tackle real-world engineering challenges
• Strong communication skills and the willingness to collaborate and ask questions
• Experience working with low-level hardware such as SDRs, FPGAs, or embedded devices is a plus (not required)

What’s on Offer:

• The opportunity to contribute to one of Europe’s most innovative sensor technology environments
• Meaningful work that supports mission-critical and high-security applications
• A collaborative, low-ego, high-trust team culture
• Hybrid working model with flexibility where it matters
