Cloud Based Networking Scientist

About this position

At TNO, we transform new solutions into practical, real-world applications. Expect to work on exciting projects like networked self-driving cars, innovation in greenhouses, or even 6G-connected drone demonstrators. You'll be part of international consortia, collaborating not only within TNO but also with external companies and partners.

What sets us apart is our collaborative spirit. You won't just be working within the walls of TNO; you'll be collaborating with external partners to ensure successful implementations. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own time and work on multiple projects simultaneously and the variety and freedom are what make it truly exciting.

What will be your role?

In this role, you'll be at the heart of the action, responsible for deploying new technologies and even developing your own solutions. We don't just work with existing tools; we create them. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to research papers and patents, bringing your academic background into play. But that's just the start. You'll have the freedom to propose your own ideas and, if you excel, take the lead on projects. Think of it as your own sandbox for technological innovation.

This role opens doors to diverse career paths. You can, for example, focus on academia, transition into consulting for businesses, or take on a project leadership role. Becoming a subject matter expert is also on the table. With our international team of over 80 colleagues from all over the world, you'll get opportunities to grow and to explore.

What we expect from you

• Educational Background: We strongly prefer candidates with an master's degree in telecommunications engineer or an equivalent area, but if you have a bachelor's degree in computer science, informatics, or technical informatics, and a few years of experience, we're open to that too.
• Cloud Skills: You should be well-versed in DevOps and cloud technologies, with experience in Kubernetes and Linux. These are essential skills for this role. Preferably you have hands-on experience with AI/ Machine Learning and or secure communication technology.
• Development Enthusiast: Don't shy away from development tasks. We're not just operational; we're creating the software that powers Kubernetes and OpenStack.
• Programming languages: We use Python, C, and Go, depending on the task at hand. Choose the language that suits the job best.
