## Description

System engineering can be seen as the 'steering wheel' in Thales Naval. We determine what engineering and operations need to develop for our customer. System engineers do not only focus on the now, but have to define a system architecture that enables future extensions and improvements of the product.

As a System Engineer you will work together with the system engineers in your team and also with multidisciplinary and self-organizing Agile/Scrum teams. You are a vital link between customers representatives and their requirements, the product roadmap, the product architecture and the development team.

You will be responsible for:

 * Analyzing functional problems
 * Definition of components with allocated functionality in our modular architecture
 * Determining/specifying algorithms needed to achieve the correct functionality
 * Depending on the aspect acquiring deep understanding of the requirements of a specific domain (Gun Fire Control, Missile Fire Control, complex scheduling strategies, the combat management system) and subsystems that are integrated
 * Contributing to Objective/Epic/Story refinements so that:
 * our software engineers know what the application is supposed to do and what constraints they need to account for in their software design
 * our test engineers can define appropriate test cases

System engineers are vital to our progress and development. As part of the system engineering team they are responsible for the design of a specific domain or the refinement of specific functionality. Together with other team members you ensure that the right things are built in the right way, at the right time. You ensure that the right information is provided (interface documents, use cases, etc).

Thales offers careers, not just jobs. You will have the opportunity to develop towards senior expert in your area of expertise, or grow to a Product Owner position for a Scrum team.
