System Architect (Radio & Communication)

Thales AEC is planning to launch the development of new products requiring crucial skillsets related  to cybersecurity and radio-communication.

We create a new Engineering team established in Toulouse which will lead R&T and developments of new Radio solutions.

We need to develop and spread radio engineering competences in the Business line (i.e., VHF and HF radio solutions)

• System Architect for the radio-communication developments, encompassing VHF and HF Data Radios
• Lead System Engineering and IVV (Integration, Verification and Validation) activities for the target radio solutions
• Conduct assessment of potential partners / suppliers, as well as tradeoff and performance analyses
• Main technical interface to partners and suppliers in that field
• Lead advanced studies related to next generation radio architectures
• Support the Engineering Director with the definition of the associated roadmap

Holding an Engineering degree in Telecommunication or Aerospace field, you have a strong knowledge of Telecommunication principles (OSI model, link budget, radio performance, Baseband and RF design) and technical background in VHF and HF radio systems:

• Demonstrated System Engineering skills (ideally INCOSE certification
• Experience with aircraft radio testing activities and co-site analyses and development of avionics systems   
• Technical leader with engineering accountability at system level       
• Ability to architecture radio system with strong understanding of the physical and MAC layer characteristics
• Detailed understanding of aircraft communication architectures
