“THE LARGE SCALE TECHNOLOGY IN SIMULATION PROVIDES A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND IS VERY INTERESTING. ANYONE CAN BUILD AN APP AT HOME BUT YOU CAN’T BUILD A COMPLEX SIMULATOR!”

OPPORTUNITY TO BE HANDS ON FROM AN EARLY STAGEI joined Thales as an intern through a scholarship at university. I had studied practical subjects as I wanted to be more hands on and apply my knowledge to something tangible.

PEOPLE LIVE THE THALES CULTUREI am part of a team of six that is designing, developing and testing software for full flight mission simulators, this is part of an upgrade for the ARH Tiger Helicopter simulator. The culture in the Avionics group is fantastic, there are a lot of professional individuals who are always willing to assist me with my development.

UNIQUE WORK OPPORTUNITIESThe uniqueness of the work we do at Thales cannot be experienced anywhere else. This role has really opened my eyes to what I could do within the Defence Engineering sector. There are plenty of opportunities to develop and grow which opens up many avenues for me further on in my career.

FUTURE CAREER OPPORTUNITIESI am currently building my technical experience and knowledge within the Training and Simulation sector before looking for my next step. The large scale technology in simulation provides a lot of immersion and is very interesting. Anyone can build an app at home but you can’t build a complex simulator!

“I HAVE AN IN DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIFFERENT GROUPS WORKING TOGETHER TO DELIVER A PRODUCT AND HAVE BUILT PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE WITH A WIDE RANGE OF BACKGROUNDS AND EXPERIENCE.”

CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT Thales has balanced my career development and the immediate needs of the business by placing me in roles which I am interested in, and find challenging, ensuring I am an engaged and valuable employee.

INTERESTING WORK The opportunity to work on a developing production line is not common and has meant my ideas and suggestions are taken seriously and often are used to make a significant impact to the efficiencies of the Hawkei build.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY I have had many opportunities to try new experiences and solve new problems which has made for a steep, but rewarding, learning curve. This is something that I was hoping to find when coming into a workplace.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIESThe roles I have been placed into have all allowed me to take responsibility of the work I have done. I was granted a strong support network in the form of a team and a manager, so that I never felt out of my depth.

“NO TWO DAYS ARE THE SAME AND OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE TO WORK IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE BUSINESS WORLDWIDE.”

CONTINUED DEVELOPMENTI have been mentored throughout my time in Thales by many experienced and forthcomingEngineers, who always have the time to walk you through a problem when help is needed.

INTERESTING WORKI had the privilege of undertaking the overmoulding of a Collins-class submarine Intercept Array. This is a torpedo-detection sonar aboard our Australian submarines and it was the first time this activity had been undertaken in Australia.

EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY Seeing the importance of the work we do in supporting the Royal Australian Navy gives me the motivation to continue their leading development of sonar systems. Thales allows you the opportunity to make mistakes as a graduate and learn from them, under the guidance of the experienced engineers around you.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIESI am currently undertaking a secondment to the Thales’ Glasgow facility. In Scotland, Thales design and manufacture sighting systems for armoured vehicles and pericopes for submarines. It has certainly been an eye opener thus far!
