Our engineers design, develop and integrate solutions that impact global industries - from fully operational systems and subsystems for naval warfare and maritime security operations, to air traffic management systems, satellite-based solutions, tactical indoor simulations, identity and biometric technologies and more.

We're Thales ECC Bucharest, one of the fastest-growing engineering centers in the city. Our software ships to aviation, security, and critical IT, which means your test suite matters more here.

THE WORK

Functional and automated testing across software programs. Test automation engineering with an automation-first mindset, manual where it matters.

YOUR STACK

Test automation (Selenium/Cypress/Playwright or equivalent), API testing, CI integration, Python or Java for scripting. SDET profiles welcome.

YOU

2+ years in QA with real automation. You write bug reports developers thank you for. Not ticking every box? Apply anyway. We hire for trajectory, not checklists.

FRENCH TRACK

French is a multiplier here, never a requirement. French-language testing capacity is a standing need, and bilingual testers move through our process noticeably faster.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

Competitive package, private medical care, meal tickets, flexible/hybrid working, learning budget and certifications, and the stability of a group that has been building critical technology for 130 years.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

We hire QA continuously, not per vacancy. Apply in five minutes, no cover letter. Answer a few short questions about your stack and seniority, and a recruiter dedicated to your domain takes it from there. When the right project opens, you're matched first, at your level, on your timeline.

At Thales, we’re committed to fostering a workplace where respect, trust, collaboration, and passion drive everything we do. Here, you’ll feel empowered to bring your best self, thrive in a supportive culture, and love the work you do. Join us, and be part of a team reimagining technology to create solutions that truly make a difference - for a safer, greener, and more inclusive world.
