* 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

* 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)
