INTERNSHIP - C/C++ SOFTWARE DEVELOPER FOR INTERLOCKING MODULE (IM) 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:

• C/C++, Java programming
• OOP design patterns
• Eclipse IDE, compilers, makefiles
• Versioning tools (ClearCase, Git) would be a plus
• Team Collaboration tools (JIRA) would be a plus
• Scripting languages would be a plus

LockTrac 6151 (IM L905) is a modular electronic interlocking system which combines high reliability and cost efficiency.
Connected over standardized interfaces, the system may be configured to obtain the optimal system configuration to satisfy all customer needs. Various types of indoor and outdoor equipment components can be connected.
The vital or non-vital integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) may be connected locally or remotely.
Full automatic operation is possible. The interlocking offers a modern, economical and compact system for small and medium stations without restrictions of the system functionality.


Internship Topic:


Automatic Code Analyser


The main goal of this project is to design a tool which performs an automatic code analysis based on specific design constraints. Our application (i.e. IM) runs on TAS platform (real-time OS). Between IM and TAS there is a communication layer which delivers an API for our application. The purpose of ACA (automatic code analyser) is to identify design issues (e.g. the communication layer components use data or methods from IM).


Specific tasks will be:

• Set-up development environment (using our existing Java project or any other programming language)
• Find the optimal solution to solve the problem (time-complexity constrains must be taken into account)
• Implementation of the solution after proof of concept
• Document the solution
