Lead design, build, and commission a remote lunar lander propulsion test facility. Responsibilities include defining system requirements, cryogenic and high-pressure fluid system design, P&IDs, GSE specification, automation and safety-critical controls, civil/infrastructure coordination, hazard analyses, test procedures, and on-site commissioning and operations support.

Lead the technical vision of the Storm high-thrust rocket engine program, ensuring system integrity, managing risks, and guiding engineering teams for mission success.

As a Backend Engineer, you will develop and maintain a data management platform, focusing on REST APIs, database migrations, and AI-assisted features. Collaborate with engineers to ensure reliability and enhance internal services.

Lead engineering projects related to high-thrust engine development, manage a team of engineers, oversee project execution, and collaborate across departments.

As a Supply Chain Manufacturing Engineer, you will collaborate with design, procurement, and assurance teams to ensure quality and efficiency in manufacturing metallic structures for the Nyx vehicle.

The Senior Teamcenter Administrator will manage the Siemens Teamcenter environment, focusing on configuration, operation, and lifecycle management, while ensuring stable PLM platforms for aerospace development.

Lead design and development of solenoid isolation valves for storable propulsion from concept through qualification. Own mechanical, electromagnetic, and sealing design; perform sizing and trade studies; select materials and sealing concepts for propellant compatibility; define verification and qualification tests; coordinate with test, manufacturing, and materials teams; support anomaly investigations and lessons learned. Work principally in Bordeaux with occasional travel to Munich.

Design, analyze, and optimize combustion-device hardware for cryogenic rocket engines. Perform FEA and reduced-order modeling, support hardware development and testing, drive life and thermo-mechanical reliability assessments, define instrumentation and validation strategies, and contribute to material selection and technical documentation.

Lead end-to-end vehicle Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT) delivering spacecraft on time, quality, and cost. Define AIT plans, enforce procedures, manage budgets and infrastructure, lead multidisciplinary teams, resolve non-conformances, and coordinate with engineering, quality, supply chain, and external partners for programme milestones and customer audits.

Support development and production ramp-up of electric pumps: prepare and execute assembly and test procedures, design tooling, perform high-precision mechanical assembly, manage fluid interfaces and instrumentation, support test bench integration, and provide manufacturability and testability feedback to design teams.

The Principal Engineer will lead the development of a Test Systems Software platform by designing architecture, writing code, managing operational requirements, and guiding a team to ensure robust software for testing environments.

Define and industrialize electronics test strategies from board bring-up to qualification. Translate requirements into test cases, prepare and execute test campaigns, build test fixtures, analyze results, debug hardware, produce verification evidence, and improve bench automation and repeatability.

Lead the AIT activities for lunar lander projects, manage engineers and technicians, define budgets, write AIT plans, and resolve anomalies during integration and testing.

Manage Critical Mechanisms for Nyx Earth missions, ensuring timely, cost-effective execution while coordinating with diverse teams and mitigating risks.

Perform and supervise Non-Destructive Testing on aerospace components, develop inspection procedures, and build NDT capabilities while collaborating with engineering and quality teams.

Responsible for designing, analyzing, and optimizing turbopump components, performing rotor dynamics analysis, managing subcontractors, and improving turbomachinery design.

The Head of Operations will manage cross-site operations, develop site strategies, ensure sustainability practices, and streamline operational processes across multiple locations in the high-tech industry.

Design and develop the engine controller for high-thrust rocket engines, define regulation strategies and interfaces, create specifications, lead hardware-in-the-loop test campaigns, and produce development documentation to validate controller performance.

The Lead - European Institutions & French Public Affairs will design and execute public affairs strategies at EU and French levels, advise executives on political matters, engage with key stakeholders, and manage public policies and institutional relationships.

Serve as a senior trusted advisor to leaders across a 600-person global company. Lead performance and development frameworks, design learning programmes, coach senior leadership, drive culture and engagement, and lead high-stakes cross-functional global people projects using people data to inform decisions.
