Internship-/graduation assignment - HBO/WO - Enhancing Architecture and Interaction of Real-Time Applications Using Rust

Description du poste:

Location: Hengelo, Netherlands

About Thales
With 80.000 talents working in 68 countries, we are one of the biggest high-tech employers in the field of safety and security. In the Netherlands, where 2500 employees are based, we are located in seven cities: Huizen, Amersfoort, Rotterdam, Delft, Breda, 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).

In the heart of our Engineering cluster lies the software engineering department, where we drive the development of cutting-edge combat and information management systems for naval vessels. Our expertise extends to seamless integration with sensor and weapon systems, alongside the creation of advanced sensor processing applications. These sophisticated systems are trusted by global partners, serving to protect lives and uphold the fundamental right of every individual to safety. At the core of critical operations, our software is the foundation, ensuring resilience in the face of high-stakes scenarios. The infrastructure we are currently developing will be the basis of our products for the next 30 years.

About the assignment

In this assignment, you will focus on improving the architecture of real-time applications and enhancing the interaction between them. Key areas of exploration include scalability, low-latency communication, data consistency, and fault tolerance in distributed systems. You are expected to propose innovative architectural improvements-such as implementing event-driven architectures, microservices, or real-time data streaming technologies-that boost performance and reliability. Additionally, examine how these applications interact by addressing interoperability, API design, and protocol optimization. All implementations should be developed using the Rust programming language to leverage its performance and safety features. Depending on your study and personal interests, the emphasis within the assignment can be adjusted.
