• Architect hardware and software solutions to ensure compliance with applicable safety and DAL requirements.
• Ensure alignment with aeronautical and space regulations, standards, and normatives.
• Coordinate and synchronize engineering activities across multidisciplinary teams.
• Produce clear, structured technical documentation to support development and certification activities.

• Senior engineer with at least 5 years of experience in complex technical projects.
• Strong background in systems engineering, particularly in conception, specification, and design phases.
• Experience with aeronautical regulations, standards, and normatives such as DO-178C, DO-254, DAL, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with IVQ engineering disciplines, including verification/test definition, result analysis, and reporting.
• Experience architecting hardware/software solutions for safety-critical or regulated environments.
• Hands-on experience with requirement management tools such as DOORS or similar, and tracking tools like JIRA.
• Experience with MBSE tools such as Capella, Enterprise Architect, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with ESA ECSS standards or similar space-related standards.
• Ability to manage complex technical systems and associated problem-solving activities.
