Want to be part of a strong R&D team?

The R&D team in Leuven is at the core of the Luciad product portfolio, a suite of geospatial visualization and analysis software components. As an R&D Software Engineer, you are part of a 20+ team that creates software for high performance visualization and analysis of any kind of geospatial data: air traffic, maritime charts, 3D laser scans, weather maps, detailed multi-spectral satellite imagery, etc. We use computer graphics technologies, applied mathematics, web technology and of course plenty of software development technologies and best practices. 

Some examples of questions we were recently tasked with: 

• Build a solution that can access laser-scanned point clouds with billions of points in a browser.
• Research the application of augmented and virtual reality technology to enhance air traffic control operations.
• Show live high-resolution radar streams with low latency. 
  
   

Our software relies on multiple languages, including JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, C++, and C#. Depending on your preferences, you can flexibly rotate from one area of technology to another.
