My internship at Thales

As a Systems Integration and Testing (SI&T) Engineer during my 12-month placement at Thales, a global leader in defence and security, I honed skills in ensuring software system reliability within complex engineering environments. I later transitioned to a 50% software development role, gaining diverse experience in both integration and software engineering.

Key Contributions

  • Testing & validation: Completed 250+ procedures on complex integrated systems and analysed results with test management tools.
  • Integration & automation: Supported software integration, raised 200+ Jira tickets, and built a Python release-monitoring script.
  • Collaboration: Worked in Agile teams, mentored new starters, and helped keep system updates on track.
  • App development & troubleshooting: Built an Android inventory app and resolved network/configuration issues.

Technical Linux, Python, Kotlin, Java, Bash, YAML
Tools Jira, Doors, VMware, Excel, Squish IDE, Ansible
Engineering Testing, integration, QA, UML, configuration control
Soft skills Communication, problem-solving, initiative, mentoring

"A genuine, obvious enthusiasm for working with computers and software is a real asset. Clearly someone who has built a reputation in a short time of being a reliable asset to the project."

- Line Manager

"You have been a valuable member of the team and you have truly contributed towards the delivery of critical systems to the customer."

- Matrix Manager

"I was really impressed with what you did with the app development and see that you could be (are) a really good software developer. I think that software development will be where your future in Thales belongs"

- Matrix Manager

"Friendly quick learner that quickly integrated and became one of the main points of contact for the SI&T team. He became well integrated into the company building a wide network amongst other interns, developers and senior developers, graduates and more; making him a good fit for the company."

- Apprentice

"Efforts you've made to improve on the tools and processes applied, and your enthusiasm to learn and apply more SW skills - this is a real strength and something I think you should continue to highlight and leverage in your career as you move forward."

- Functional Manager

"Faheem has fitted into the team and interfaced with other teams very well. This is due to his enthusiasm and willing to engage with not only his team but others he comes into contact with. I would be happy to work with Faheem in the future should the opportunity arise."

- A cool guy :)
