INTERNSHIP - C/C++ SOFTWARE DEVELOPER FOR ENGINEERING SUPPORT TEAM

Thales has been present in Romania for more than 20 years. Over the years, our company has grown and diversified its portfolio of activities, and today we are a central hub for software development and engineering, serving customers in all our major markets: Defence & Security, Aerospace, Space, and Digital Identity & Security. With our local experts, Thales has unparalleled capability to design and deploy equipment, systems and services to meet the most complex requirements.

Our purpose is to help make the world a safer place by building a future we can all trust.

Required skills:

• Mandatory: Basic software development skills in C/C++, basic concepts of OOP, basic Linux knowledge
• Optional: Java, UML/Software modelling, IBM Rhapsody, Networking concepts, parallel programming

The Engineering Support team is maintaining the engineering environment for our engineers and developing and configuring new tools to support them in their activity.

The support activity cover a large area of domains from C++ and Java development, Bash/Perl/Python scripting to Unix based operating system administration and configuration and virtualization both on local hardware or in public cloud.

Internship Topic:

Model Based Simulation solution for an ERTMS Signalling System Components
The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a major industrial project developed by eight UNIFE members - Alstom Transport, Ansaldo STS, AZD Praha, Bombardier Transportation, CAF, Mermec, Siemens Mobility and Thales - in close cooperation with the European Union, railway stakeholders and the GSM-R industry.

ERTMS aims at replacing the different national train control and command systems in Europe. The deployment of ERTMS will enable the creation of a seamless European railway system and increase European railway's competitiveness.

The aim of the internship is to create a proof of concept for a model based solution for simulators allows product developers to simply implement needed logic to test their software without needing synchronization with a dedicated simulation team.

The model will imposing a clear architecture and facilitates transparency which helps a lot understanding the right behavior and reduces the risk of missing defects due to wrong simulation.

Participants will receive support from experienced Engineering Support team members.

Specific tasks will be:

• Participate to the definition of the generic architecture of the solution
• Implement the model of the core components (communication, data reader, logging …) in IBM Rhapsody
• Create a simulator instance using the defined core model
• Generate C++ code using the defined model and test it in a real environment for functionality and performance
• Participate in creating the proof of concept documentation
