Chasing an Italian dream in Hengelo

I studied computer engineering at the University of Rome. After my graduation, I worked for an Italian company specialized in naval warfare. As an engineer, I was responsible for the combat management system on board of naval vessels with a specialization in integration and sea trials. This job offered me the opportunity to obtain work experience abroad, spending one year in Rome, six months in Lithuania and a year and a half in the United Arab Emirates.

I enjoyed the job, but my dream was to work for Thales, because Thales makes the best radar and combat management systems in the world. I searched the international vacancy database and found an opportunity as a software engineer at Thales’s processing department in the Netherlands. Specifically, I’m part of the Processing Platform Software team, which develops the radar platform, the operating system and the drivers.
