Job Title: R&D Software Engineer – C++ & Python (Real-Time Imaging Platform)
Location: Antwerp, Belgium
Industry: Imaging / Sensor Technology / R&D
Employment Type: Full-time
Experience Level: Mid to Senior
Company Overview
Join a forward-thinking company at the forefront of sensor and imaging innovation. Our technology powers next-generation applications in fields like autonomous systems, industrial inspection, medical imaging, and defence. We specialize in capturing, processing, and interpreting real-time data from state-of-the-art sensors—including LiDAR, hyperspectral cameras, and radar systems.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a talented R&D Software Engineer to help develop our next-generation software platform for real-time sensor data processing. This is an application-level role focused on turning raw sensor streams into actionable insights through high-performance, reliable, and scalable software.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and implement application-level software in modern C++ (C++11/14/17) for real-time data acquisition and processing
* Develop Python tools for prototyping, testing, data visualization, and algorithm validation
* Work closely with hardware, algorithms, and systems teams to integrate software with cutting-edge sensor technologies
* Optimize performance for multithreaded, low-latency systems (e.g. via GPU, FPGA, or parallel processing)
* Contribute to the full development lifecycle: design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance
* Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices
Requirements
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
* 3+ years of professional experience with C++ and Python
* Strong knowledge of multithreading, concurrency, and high-performance software design
* Experience working with real-time systems, sensor data, or imaging technologies
* Familiarity with Linux environments; experience with embedded Linux is a plus
* Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
* Ability to collaborate in an interdisciplinary, agile R&D environment
Nice to Have
* Experience with GPU (CUDA/OpenCL) or FPGA acceleration
* Familiarity with data streaming frameworks (e.g., ZeroMQ, gRPC)
* Background in image processing, robotics, or signal processing
* Knowledge of containerization (Docker) and CI/CD workflows
What We Offer
* Opportunity to work with cutting-edge sensor and imaging systems
* A dynamic, innovation-driven work environment
* Competitive salary, performance bonuses, and comprehensive benefits
* Flexible hours and hybrid/remote work options
* A culture that values curiosity, creativity, and technical excellence
