At Thales, we know technology has the ability to make our world more secure, sustainable, and inclusive – and that it’s all driven by human intelligence.

Because it takes human intelligence to build and power the systems and solutions that people depend on every day. So we stay curious and make space for diverse points of view. We share what we know and we challenge what’s possible.

From manufacturing and engineering to cybersecurity and space, we’re driving progress in some of the world’s most important industries – and working together to build a future we can all trust.

The purpose of the Integration, Verification, Validation, and Qualification (IVVQ) Manager is to ensure the delivery of robust and compliant solutions by defining, implementing, and driving the IVVQ strategy throughout the solution lifecycle.
