About the team
F126 is a multi-entity critical project involving with DMS, SRA and SIX three Thales Global Business Units (GBUs) and with Netherlands and Germany two countries.
F126 is the first major shipbuilding project of the German Navy since 20 years and at the same time its largest ship building program ever. Based on the increasing operational needs, the German Navy plans to build four (plus two optional) new multi role combat ships. In order to respond in a flexible way to national and NATO obligations of different types, the modularity of the vessel became a key requirement for the design.
Damen Schelde Naval Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) offered the (totally new) ship design, Thales offered the combat system (CS) including all sensors (excl. weapons) and the CMS as well as overall Mission System Integration responsibility, including 13 subcontracts. Derivatives of the offered CS will be used to equip several land based test and training sites. Also challenging requirements have to be fulfilled e.g. in the area of IT-Security and Safety. The Thales part of the project is by volume the biggest project in the history of the Thales Netherlands and Thales Germany Naval organizations.
We are expanding and strengthening our Solution Engineering capacity. We have multiple positions for a System Requirements and Modelling Engineer.
