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, high-tech security, and digital services solutions.

You will be integrated into a team of about a dozen engineers (multi-skilled and/or experts) who are responsible for conducting algorithmic studies, designing and developing processing prototypes or even operational software components (the algorithms actually embedded in operational systems), and evaluating their performance. The application areas covered by the department are: airborne radar processing (in particular Air/Air modes), electronic warfare processing (detection, sorting, tracking, localization, identification of intercepted radar signals, ...), situation awareness processing (tracking, data fusion ...). We are looking for a person who will design, develop, specify, and integrate algorithms (signal processing, information processing, statistical processing, ...) applicable to embedded combat or intelligence systems. Projects are carried out in a team, and algorithms are developed using synthetic data and then real data.

As such, in an integrated team with software engineering and system engineering teams, you will be entrusted with the following main missions:

• Define and specify algorithms or algorithm evolutions for combat aircraft self-protection systems
• Participate in the integration and validation of these algorithms using simulations and then flight-recorded data
• Contribute to business capitalization (software, simulation and test tools, documents)

Your profile:

With a higher education in applied mathematics, statistics, signal processing, information processing, you have experience in the study and development of embedded processing.

You have a good command of computer tools and the C language.

You are recognized for your team spirit, your clarity of expression, your curiosity as well as your capacity for innovation, your rigor, and autonomy.

A word from the team:

Different opportunities will allow you to discover other areas or sites. You will be able to evolve and develop your skills in different areas, explore a space attentive to personal development, develop your talents in another area of the Thales group, by discovering new products, new customers, a new country or by moving towards a more complex solution. You will be able to choose between technical expertise or a leadership path and build an international career within a leading engineering group.

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