Since the beginning, Thales has been playing an essential role in India’s growth story by sharing its technologies and expertise in Defence, Transport, Aerospace and Digital Identity and Security markets. The Technologist will be responsible for the following functions: • Identify technology trends that CPL should watch. These trends (such as PQC, FHE, distributed identity, confidential computing, AI/ML, GenAI, etc.) could be relevant for the future (mid-term and long-term) growth of the CPL product portfolio. • Identify market trends, especially in cloud-native technologies, and AI, and thus influence CPL's strategic direction for innovation and product deployment. • Work hands-on with business development (BD), product line management (PLM), and Strategy teams to discover technical and/or business “problems” that if addressed will bring business value to our customers. • Design and implement quick proof of concepts (PoC) to help validate technology choices and bridge the gap between innovation and the general availability of corresponding product features. • As a problem set becomes better understood, work with R&D, and strategic technology partners to design, architect, bootstrap, and mature PoC to its first demonstrator. Subsequently, coordinate project transfer (artifacts, tooling, pipelines, documentation, etc.) to R&D. • Gather and analyze customer feedback through a common CPL framework involving sales, product, and marketing, and align value proposition with market needs through the development and go-to-market process. • Help evaluate opportunity size for specific value propositions, from market data, customer feedback, and internal data. • Identify potential value gaps and opportunities with current CPL strategy. • Help identify and assess the technical strength of potential acquisition/partnership targets as part of CPL's long-term strategy. • Articulate technical designs and innovation ideas to customers and work with their senior architects to refine/update these technical designs and create business value. • Work closely with DIS innovation teams as needed by offering technology/business/strategy perspective to augment or reevaluate a perceived technology match.
