About us

The people we all rely on to make the world go round – they rely on Thales. In a world that is increasingly fast-moving, unpredictable and full of opportunities, they come to us with big ambitions: to make life better and to keep you safer. Combining a unique diversity of expertise, talents and cultures, our employees  design and deliver extraordinary high-tech solutions. With 68.000 talents working in 54 countries, 2000 employees are based in the Netherlands. We are one of the biggest high-tech employers in the field of safety and security.

We help our customers think smarter and act faster in the fields of transportation, defence , space, aerospace  and cyberspace, mastering ever-greater complexity and every decisive moment along the way. We are therefore leading the digital transformation, focusing on artificial intelligence, big-data & data analytics, connectivity, mobility and internet of things and cybersecurity.

In the Netherlands, we are located in four cities: Huizen, Delft, Eindhoven and Hengelo (HQ). Together with an extensive ecosystem of knowledge partners, customers and suppliers, we work on radars for naval vessels, cyber security solutions, transportation systems, communication equipment for land forces, cryogenic cooling solutions, research & development for radar tech (in collaboration with TU Delft) and research & development for serious gaming (in collaboration with the University of Twente).

About the assignment

Within the Sensor department we use Maven as primary build tool; even for our C and

C++ projects.

Maven as build tool works fine for language which have platform independent

deliverables (e.g. Java jars), but loses efficiency when deliverables are sources or

platform dependent binaries.

For this assignment the student needs to research and create a proof on concept solution

for an alternative for our Maven C / C++ projects.

The solution should:

• Support building for multiple target platforms
• Support code generation phases
• Support for dependency management: - For source dependencies with remote caching (preferred) - Or binary dependencies for multiple platform
• Support the CLion IDE and optionally the Eclipse IDE
• Improves the performance and efficiency compared to our current Maven based C/C++ projects

Optionally the solution should also:

• Support building Docker or Open Container Initiative (OCI ) complaint container images
• Support building debug symbols in separate files and
• Support debugging with use of a symbol database using build ids.

This solution should include the ability to build for different target platforms, be able

Affinity

Technologies involved: C++, CMake, Maven, Bazel, Buck, Pants, Ant, Ivy
