• Work on Algorithm engineering either for Big Data Analytics, optimisation algos, crypto, decision aid algos, Information analytics & fusion algos, Image processing, Sensor processing algos (signal, video), or Waveform design and algos (radio, radar, sonar), problem complexity analysis; algorithm design; algorithm implementation on a targeted language and machine
• Define the system capabilities thanks to a functional, logical and value analysis, describing functions to be performed to meet the real needs of the user in the various scenarii and maximising product value for Customer
• Analyse critically and constructively the systems/equipment needs
• Select and adapt algorithmic and/or IT solutions (like architectures, technologies…) to meet the demand
• Prototype solutions in a realistic/representative context
• Provide support to the validation teams
• Ensure the smooth running of the project (like reporting, progress monitoring, customer interfaces…)
• Embed solutions on different processing platforms
• Test the algorithm in a real environment, Future opportunities will allow you to discover other domains or sites. You will be able to evolve and grow your competences in different areas:
• Room and attention to personal development
• Build your talents in another domain of Thales Group, discovering new products, new customers, new country or go to a more complex Solution
• Choose between a technical expertise or a leadership path
• Build an international career within a leading Engineering Group
  
  You graduated with a Master of Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms Engineering, Computer Science or any related field
• You have technical skills and enjoy teamwork
• You want to solve complex problems and be plunged into a challenging environment
• You have proven dedication and willingness towards continuous improvement and learning new skills and technology
• You are seen as a value proposition on crucial and sensitive programs
• You are a self-starter, with an ability to manage your own workload and meet your agreed objectives, whilst also contributing to the development and delivery of wider operational goals
• You want to follow the latest advanced tools and the latest trends of the algorithm discipline
COMPETENCIES:
• You have knowledge of Algorithm design
• You have a deep understanding of foundational concepts in mathematics/ physics/ science
• You are able to analyse in a critical and constructive way systems/equipment needs in order to determine potential issues and build specification documents
• You possess high level of systems analysis and applied mathematics/statistics science
• You master programming and scripting languages (e.g. Python)
• You have the ability to implement and optimise algorithms on a digital platform and evaluate/validate their efficiency
• You are able to write the documentation or the evolutions of algorithms
• You remain at the state of the art of your discipline (scientific papers…)
NICE TO HAVE:
• Different problem-solving methods
• Knowledge of the technical domains concerned (AI, crypto, sensors...) and of the customer use cases
• Knowledge of embedded platforms and/or systems
• Solid experience in signal processing (such as image, video processing) and information processing (raw data or structured data, graph…)
• Experience in design and programming embedded processing machines (Java, C++, Python languages)
