Description du poste

The Fluid Department is responsible for the development of the launcher’s onboard fluid systems, as well as the fluid systems for ground and test facilities.

The Fluid Department is especially responsible for:

• Designing fluid systems according to functional needs, system architecture, and the choice of fluids for all company fluid systems: launcher, ground, and test facilities.
• Selecting the appropriate components to perform the required functions.
• Modelling the behaviour of the system to validate the design.
• Defining how the system needs to be operated.
• Ensuring the safety and reliability of the designed system.
• Analyzing test results to make sure the system responds as designed.
• Optimizing built systems to improve reliability and efficiency.

Responsabilities

As a Fluids Engineer, you will participate in several missions involving the simulation, testing and integration of ground and onboard equipment.

To test all engine elements, several test benches will be integrated by the end of the year. Then, the two stages will also need to be integrated and tested. Test results will need to be analyzed in order to assess the system response under real conditions.

Main missions

• Take responsibility for critical hardware for space operations or ground support
• Design and develop fluid and mechanical systems intended for ground support or the launch vehicle
• Ensure full ownership of the hardware, from architecture, design and analysis, through to integration, testing and launch
• Manage production and procurement processes related to fluid systems
• Apply your overall technical knowledge to perform fluidic and structural sizing, routing and design, while taking cost and schedule constraints into account

Skills required

Degrees and training:

Engineering degree or Master’s degree in an engineering discipline

Technical skills

Strong command of the basic principles of structural mechanics, incompressible and compressible flows, thermodynamics and materials

Knowledge of fluidic components, including valves, regulators, etc.

Full experience of the engineering design lifecycle.

Professional experience with Siemens NX preferred, or equivalent CAD software

Professional skills

Excellent oral and written communication skills in English

Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and collaborate effectively within a team, with daily interactions with technicians, engineers and managers

Experience required for the position

More than 2 years of relevant experience in aerospace engineering or in an equally demanding industry

More than 2 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, assembly and/or testing

More than 2 years of experience in designing parts and assemblies using CAD software

At Latitude, we believe that building a rocket is a collective adventure, one that requires excellence, trust and a healthy work environment.

We offer a work setting designed to support both performance and well-being:

• A structured training and development plan, supporting skills development throughout your career (technical expertise, project management, leadership, and soft skills)
• Remote work: on average up to 2 days per week for eligible roles
• Regular team and company-wide events, as well as support for employee-led initiatives
• A friendly workplace with social spaces, free tea and coffee, and Latitude merch to welcome you on board.

An international and open-minded environment

Latitude is an international company, working in a English-French speaking environment.

English is essential for working at Latitude, as many of our projects, tools, and interactions are international. If you are not fully fluent yet, no worries, what matters most is your openness and willingness to improve - language courses can be part of the journey (French or English).

We value diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives, and we believe it strengthens both our teams and our engineering.

Relocation support

For full-time candidates relocating, especially those coming from abroad and needing un petit coup de pouce, we work with specialized relocation partners to support:

• Housing search
• Visa and residence permit processes (for you and your family)
• Understanding the French administrative system.

Our HR team will be there to guide you every step of the way.

What's next?

• We review your profile and schedule a short call (approximately 30 minutes) to understand your current situation, your motivations and expectations for this role, while outlining the next steps.
• If we're aligned, you'll meet with the Head of Department and a member of the HR team for an interview (approximately 1 to 1.5 hours). Depending on the position, a technical test may sometimes be part of the process.
• Some roles may include a second interview with a peer and/or a C-level leader. For on-site interviews, you may also have the opportunity to meet the team and visit our facilities and factory.
• We then share our final decision and discuss together how the role, responsibilities and conditions can best match your expectations and our needs.

Our goal is to provide a supportive and respectful recruitment experience, giving you the right environment to express your skills, personality, and full potential.
