• Sound knowledge of military radar, optronic systems and software control systems, along with familiarity with Thales internal processes.

• Fluency in German and English is required; additional languages such as French are an advantage.

• Team-oriented mindset, convincing appearance towards colleagues and customers, flexibility and commitment, readiness to travel nationally and internationally, and the ability to perform under pressure while taking initiative.
