About the company

Indra is shaping the future of defense by developing the next generation high-performance radar systems that will safeguard airspace, strengthen air defence, and support some of the most ambitious modernization initiatives in the sector.

These are transformative, high-impact programs where technology and purpose meet. If you’re passionate about engineering solutions that matter - systems that detect, protect, and enable superior decision-making - we invite you to join us and help build the radar capability of tomorrow.

  • Design, develop, verify, and integrate embedded software for radar systems in real-time and resource-constrained environments.
  • Implement low-level software interacting directly with hardware components.
  • Develop robust and efficient code in C/C++ with a focus on performance, memory optimization, and reliability.
  • Configure and customize Linux-based systems, including kernel tuning, device drivers, and real-time extensions.
  • Design and maintain communication interfaces using protocols such as UDP/TCP, SNMP, and MODBUS.
  • Utilize virtualization tools (Docker, QEMU, KVM) for development, testing, and deployment.
  • Ensure compliance with defense-grade software quality standards (e.g., NATO AQAP).
  • Produce well-documented, maintainable code and contribute to continuous improvement of software development processes.
