Technical Lead

Thales people architect solutions that enable two-thirds of planes to take off and land safely. We create in-flight entertainment systems that engross 50 million fliers every year and we develop the avionics that control the world s largest commercial aircrafts. Our simulators train the next generation of pilots for fighter jets, transporters and search and rescue helicopters. And, together, each and every member of our aerospace team makes a difference.Thales India Engineering Competency Center in Bangalore is seeking a Technical Lead Engineer role to be part of Hardware engineering team. In this role you will be responsible for generating reliable, cost effective, customized Electronics systems design, Obsolescence redesign for avionics products to meet the customer requirements as well as governing regulatory standards (DO-160, DO-254, MIL-STD, etc.). You also perform trade analysis of design approaches, engineering simulations modeling, derating analysis before finalizing the design.
