System Integration & Test Engineer (IVVQ) | The Last Line Before Software Meets Reality

Thales is a global technology leader trusted by governments, institutions, and enterprises to tackle their most demanding challenges. From quantum applications and artificial intelligence to cybersecurity and 6G innovation, our solutions empower critical decisions rooted in human intelligence. Operating at the forefront of defence and security, aerospace and space, cybersecurity and digital identity, we’re driven by a mission to build a future we can all trust.

In Romania, we are advancing innovation through software engineering, research and development, delivering solutions in key markets in which Thales Group operates. 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. We validate the systems Europe depends on, from air traffic management to critical platforms.

THE WORK

Integration testing, verification and validation (V&V), and qualification of complex systems for air traffic management and critical platforms. You're the person who says "this is ready", and means it.

YOUR STACK

System test strategy and execution, requirements-based testing, Linux, test automation, scripting (Python a plus). ATM or safety-critical background is gold, not mandatory.

YOU

2+ years in integration, validation, or system testing. Rigorous, curious, unimpressed by "it works on my machine". Not ticking every box? Apply anyway. We hire for trajectory, not checklists.

FRENCH TRACK

French is a multiplier here, never a requirement. Several IVVQ programs interface directly with French teams, and French gets you on them 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

Our programs run for years, so this role never really closes. 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.
