About Thales

Thales Group is a French multinational company headquartered in the Paris business district of La Défense. The group designs and builds products and systems for aerospace, space, defence, ground transportation, digital identity and security, and cybersecurity, serving government, civil aviation, defence, and commercial customers worldwide. Thales in its current form was created in 2000 through the renaming of Thomson-CSF, with the French state and Dassault Aviation as long-standing core shareholders. The company is publicly listed on Euronext Paris and is a constituent of the CAC 40 index. Major recent transactions include the 2019 acquisition of Gemalto, which significantly expanded Thales' digital-identity and cybersecurity portfolio, and the announced 2024 acquisition of Imperva. The product portfolio spans flight-management and avionics systems, air-traffic-management, military radars and electronic warfare, naval and ground combat systems, satellites and space payloads, banking, biometrics, identity-document personalization, and data-protection products including HSMs and encryption. Thales operates a substantial India presence with engineering, research-and-development, and customer-engineering centers in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Noida, and Mumbai. The Bangalore engineering center contributes to global product development across avionics, transport, defence, and cybersecurity portfolios. Indian fresher hiring at Thales typically feeds into associate-software-engineer, embedded-software-engineer, hardware-design-engineer, systems-engineer, and cybersecurity-analyst roles, with structured graduate programs tied to its global aerospace, defence, and digital-security businesses.
