Our commitments, your benefits

• Our technological expertise
• Our attention to employee work-life balance
• An inclusive and benevolent environment
• A recognized societal and environmental commitment (Thales Solidarity, CAC 40 ESG index…)

Your daily life

At the heart of Saint Quentin en Yvelines, the Elancourt site is one of Thales' most important technological centers of excellence. The diversity and technicality of the systems and equipment mobilize expertise in more than 80 professions in defense solutions, high-tech security, and digital services.

Within the Computers and Software Department, you will join the Digital Cores Service, which designs programmable components (FPGA, SoC) and low-level software for optronic and missile electronic products. As part of the development of our future products, we are looking to implement an FPGA function enabling the acquisition and transmission of video streams over Ethernet.

The objective of the internship is to develop FPGA functions enabling the acquisition and transmission of video over 10G/25G Ethernet, based on the standardized GigE Vision protocol.

The internship covers all stages of a V-cycle:

• Knowledge acquisition: understanding of the Ethernet protocol, different layers (UDP, IP, ...) and the GigE Vision video standard
• Requirement capture (specification) and technical proposal (architecture)
• FPGA development: coding of a video transmission FPGA IP, and improvements to the existing video reception IP
• Design validation: simulation environment then demonstration on board (AMD Zynq Ultrascale+ / Versal target)
• Capitalization of developed IPs: Jenkins flow, drafting of technical documentation

Your profile

Are you an engineering student specializing in software, looking for your end-of-study internship?

Do you already have experience (internship or project) in FPGA?

Do you have an advanced level in C, C++ and VHDL?

Do you master Vivado (Xilinx) and Modelsim tools?

Ideally, do you know Git?

Then this internship is for you!

All our internships are conventional and subject to remuneration, the amount of which is determined according to your level of study.

Thales, a disability-friendly company, recognizes all talents. Diversity is our best asset. Apply and join us!
