MARITIME SOFTWARE ARCHITECT (DEFENCE PROJECTS)
MARITIME SOFTWARE ARCHITECT (DEFENCE PROJECTS)
Job description
Due to ongoing and new Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN) replacement programs, the amount of defence work for MARIN is going to increase significantly in the coming years. To this end, last year MARIN has set up a defence department that will carry out defence work for the Dutch, EU and NATO navies in cooperation with the other MARIN departments. A key ambition of the RNN is to significantly reduce the number of tasks and functions performed by humans by distributing them over effectively cooperating manned and unmanned systems. To build-up the knowledge for this, several research programs are ongoing at MARIN.
For both continuity and further development, there is a need for a well-designed, flexible software architecture in line with developments at the RNN. The research programs will result in prototypes with which MARIN can test and demonstrate the usability of system & software architectural solutions as a backbone to unite maritime operations and platform performance. This happens in MARIN's simulations, virtual & augmented reality environments and ultimately at sea.
In this context, you are the technical person responsible for the (chosen) software architecture. You give your input for technical and strategic choices during the design, development, test, deployment, support phases. You are closely involved in system and software design and describe and monitor the interfaces with (internal) components and other (third-party) systems. You also spar with architects of partners (internal and external) to coordinate and develop the long-term roadmap.
Who will be your colleagues?
You will be part of a team of specialists in hydrodynamics, propulsion, seakeeping, naval platform systems, naval operations and software engineers of the MARIN R&D department. This team is responsible for carrying out projects for defence organizations in the Netherlands and abroad.
