Thales Belfast is currently on the lookout for experienced Modelling and Simulation Engineers to join our highly experienced Team working to design, implement and improve algorithms to optimize the operation of critical systems. Used throughout our major products produced here in Belfast. As a Modelling and Simulation Engineer within Thales, you will:

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
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…)
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)

Thales people architect solutions that are relied upon to deliver operational advantage at every decisive moment throughout the mission. Defence and armed forces customers rely on us to deliver the full range of defensive systems for land, sea, and air. From early warning, to threat neutralisation, our platforms cover all levels from very short-range systems, to extended protection across the entire battle-space including Airspace Mobility Solutions, Vehicles and Tactical Systems and Missile Defence, Optronics, and Radar.
