Thales Graduate Engineering Roles

Software Engineering

Thales Software Engineering Graduates have an opportunity to work on some of the most exciting technology driven projects, as well as undertaking a challenging training programme that involves a mixture of courses and on the job training. Performing a real job from the start, you will work on software solutions for state of the art electronics systems, sub-systems and equipment. Part of a team, your tasks will be varied, and will include designing & developing code, integrating and testing software systems, building prototypes and carrying out testing.

Our structured training programme will include internal and external training courses, culminating in a recognised professional engineering qualification.

Simulation Engineer

Thales Simulation Engineering Graduates have an opportunity to work on some of the most exciting technology driven projects possible, as well as undertaking a challenging training programme that involves a mixture of courses and on-the-job training. Simulation Engineers will work within teams developing simulators, their systems and their training support systems and will be involved in a project from Requirements Analysis through Customer Acceptance to Certification with the Regulatory Authority.

Simulation requires people with multiple skills who have an interest in aviation, have knowledge of computers, systems and software and are able to work with others to develop and integrate software and hardware systems.

A flexibility of working patterns is required at times to support the lifecycle in addition to being able to travel to Customer sites around the world to support installations, certifications and updates.

Algorithm Engineer

Thales Algorithms Engineering Graduates will find themselves working on a number of customer and privately funded projects in these product areas, reporting to the respective project managers. They will work alongside other hardware, software, systems and algorithm engineers to initiate, test, modify and develop algorithms to improve and extend the performance of existing systems and to develop new product applications.

The successful candidate will most probably be a physicist or engineer with strong mathematical skills or a mathematician with the ability to apply maths to data analysis and extraction of information from data

Research and Technology Engineer

Thales Research and technology Graduates will primarily be working towards applied research. Working closely with Thales operating companies, academia and external customers worldwide, our teams produce leading edge concepts and solutions, to give Thales the competitive edge in delivering systems, products and services.
