Internship - Radar mapping tools development - M/F

This internship is located at one of Thales's largest surface radar centers of excellence, 20 minutes from Paris-Saclay. The intern will contribute to developing, designing, integrating, and testing air surveillance radars. The role involves actively participating in critical projects related to the integration and advanced visualization of geospatial data, specifically radar tracks, in interactive 3D environments. The intern will be responsible for designing and implementing a real-time radar track visualization module using Cesium technology.

Must Have

• Install and configure Cesium on internal infrastructure.
• Develop and integrate a 3D visualization module for geospatial data and real-time radar trajectories using Cesium.
• Implement best practices for displaying and managing large geospatial data.
• Adapt radar data format for optimal compatibility with Cesium solution.
• Test solution performance, propose optimization avenues, and write associated documentation.
• Master JavaScript, Python, and 3D visualization technologies (including Cesium).
• Initial experience in geospatial data management (GeoJSON, CZML, etc.) and real-time data streams (WebSocket, REST API).
• Knowledge of large data management and transformation.
• Skills in designing interactive and ergonomic web interfaces.
• Comfortable writing technical documentation in English.
• Autonomy, initiative, rigor, and attention to detail.

Good to Have

• Prototype advanced visualizations (history, alerts, etc.).

Perks & Benefits

Your daily life

Located 20 minutes from the Paris-Saclay technology hub, the site is one of the largest surface radar centers of excellence. We contribute to developing, designing, integrating, and testing air surveillance radars dedicated to target detection and identification.

As part of our growth and continuous improvement of our surveillance and analysis systems, you will have the opportunity to actively participate in critical projects related to the integration and advanced visualization of geospatial data, particularly radar tracks, in interactive 3D environments.

You will be involved in the design and implementation of a real-time radar track visualization module, based on Cesium technology.

You will work in a team on the following points:

• Install and configure Cesium on the internal infrastructure.
• Develop and integrate a 3D visualization module for geospatial data and real-time radar trajectories using Cesium.
• Implement best practices for displaying and managing large geospatial data.
• Adapt the format of radar data for optimal compatibility with the Cesium solution.
• Test the performance of the solution, propose optimization avenues, and write the associated documentation.
• Optional: Prototype advanced visualizations (history, alerts, etc.).

Your profile

You are preparing a Bac+5 (Master's degree) in engineering, with an interest in programming, digital mapping, and software innovation.

You master JavaScript, Python, and 3D visualization technologies (notably Cesium).

You have a first approach to geospatial data management (GeoJSON, CZML, etc.) and real-time data streams (WebSocket, REST API).

You have notions of large data management and transformation.

You have skills in designing interactive and ergonomic web interfaces.

You are comfortable writing technical documentation in English.

You are recognized for your autonomy, initiative, rigor, and attention to detail.

Then this position is for you!
