Your daily work

Within the Vehicles and Tactical Systems activity, the La Ferté-Saint-Aubin site specializes in the production of terrestrial and airborne weapon systems (mortars, ammunition, rockets, etc.), force protection systems, and zone control systems. With 450 employees—engineers, technicians, and specialized workers—the site ensures research and development, production, testing, and all support functions necessary for designing high-performance systems essential to operational mission success.

Thales, together with the German defense group DIEHL, has formed a joint venture, JUNGHANS T2M, employing 165 people. This collaboration combines electronics and precision mechanics expertise, positioning the two companies as global leaders in ammunition rocket technology. The joint venture is also present at the La Ferté-Saint-Aubin site.

As part of the development, industrialization, and qualification of new ammunition, you will be responsible for ensuring the technical specifications, detailed design, coding, verification of requirements, and performance of the software under your supervision by the software engineer in charge of these munitions.

These software systems, deployed on specific embedded calculators, may implement various functions such as navigation, guidance/control, ballistic calculations, communication, feedback, or human-machine interfaces.

To successfully carry out your missions, you will work closely with various stakeholders from the Engineering Competence Center (System Engineering, Electronics, etc.).

As an Embedded Software Development Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring adherence to cost, timeline, and quality objectives for the software portion under your responsibility.
• Optimizing complex development combining various software and hardware technologies.
• Adapting to the processes imposed by the criticality of the software to be developed (translating system specifications into software specifications, drafting test plans and associated documentation, and writing functional software descriptions).
