  • You master English, both written and spoken.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills.
  • Strong organizational skills and autonomy.
  • Ability to obtain a Defense clearance is mandatory for this position.
  • Ideally, you have experience with on-premises deployments disconnected from Internet, integrations into enterprise information systems, and in the geospatial or defense sectors.
Responsibilities
  • Transform complex or ambiguous needs into clear, structured and actionable technical requirements, while carrying the technical vision of the solution.
  • Design architectures and realistic solutions that are economically viable and aligned with business objectives as well as technical constraints.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to develop, challenge and validate the technical and commercial proposals that often require some degree of specific development.
  • Identify technical risks upfront and implement proofs of concept when necessary to secure solution choices.
  • Develop a relationship of trust with prospects by leading demonstrations, workshops and technical discussions in a solution- and value-driven approach.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Safran lifted 2026 guidance after record H1 revenue and free cash flow on July 28, 2026.
  • Electra ordered 250 TG600 turbogenerators from Safran on July 15, 2026.
  • EU funded ENGINeUS automation through 2032, supporting industrial scale-up in Niort.

What critics are saying

  • U.S. lawmakers demanded Pentagon review Safran-China ventures on March 20, 2026.
  • Montreal workers struck Safran over pay in May 2026, exposing labor fragility.
  • RISE remains a technology demonstrator, not a product, risking years of sunk R&D.

What makes Safran unique

  • Safran and GE’s CFM power Airbus A320neo fleets with LEAP engines.
  • Safran’s ENGINeUS is the only EASA-certified electric motor, certified in 2025.
  • RISE testing gives Safran a rare lead in open-fan and hybrid-electric propulsion.

Electra secures Safran deal for 250 TG600 turbogenerators to power EL9 hybrid-electric aircraft

Electra and Safran Helicopter Engines have signed a life-of-program production agreement for the TG600 turbogenerator to power Electra's EL9 Ultra Short hybrid-electric aircraft. The deal includes an initial order for 250 units. The TG600, which will supply 600 kW of electricity, will be based on Safran's Arrano engine and equipped with two GENeUS electric generators. Safran completed the first bench test of a flight-ready turbogenerator in July at its Bordes facility. The EL9 Ultra Short is designed to take off and land in just 150 feet using hybrid-electric propulsion and blown-lift technology. Electra has submitted the aircraft to the Federal Aviation Administration for Part 23 type certification, with first flight scheduled for late 2027 or early 2028 and entry to service expected in 2030.

Safran secures $16.6M EU funding to automate electric aviation engine production

Safran Electrical & Power has secured €14.7 million in funding from the European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment to automate production of its ENGINeUS electric motor. The seven-year ENGINeUS PULL project, running from 2026 to 2032, aims to support sustainable aviation and the EU's carbon neutrality goals for the sector by 2050. Certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in 2025, the ENGINeUS motor is now ready for series production. Safran will establish two semi-automated assembly lines at its Niort facility, along with logistics, maintenance and repair resources. The modular engine is designed to provide electric propulsion for two- to four-passenger aircraft and distributed hybrid-electric propulsion for 19-passenger regional aircraft.

Safran to supply certified electric motor for H55's Bristell B23 Energic propulsion system

H55 and Safran Electrical & Power have signed an agreement to integrate Safran's ENGINeUS electric motor into H55's electric propulsion system for the Bristell B23 Energic aircraft. The collaboration targets certified electric propulsion solutions for CS-23/Part 23 Level 1 and 2 general aviation aircraft. The partnership combines Safran's EASA-certified electric motor technology with H55's energy storage and propulsion integration capabilities. The Bristell B23 Energic will serve as the initial certification platform, targeting the electric pilot training market. Safran will support prototype and serial production phases beginning in 2027. ENGINeUS is the only certified electric motor in the aviation market, whilst H55 has completed the only battery architecture to undergo EASA-witnessed module testing. The Bristell B23 is already certified under both EASA and FAA regulations.

Safran acquires Toulouse-based Syntony for resilient GNSS navigation tech

Safran Electronics & Defense has acquired Syntony, a Toulouse-based startup founded in 2015 specialising in Global Navigation Satellite System solutions for challenging environments. The acquisition amount was not disclosed. Syntony has developed expertise in providing reliable positioning when conventional systems like GPS fail, particularly in underground settings where satellite signals are unavailable or vulnerable to physical obstacles, jamming and interference. The company's technologies include Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas, which reduce GNSS receivers' sensitivity to jamming and spoofing, and software-defined radios that can adapt through software updates without hardware changes. Syntony also develops GNSS receivers for next-generation satellites, particularly low Earth orbit constellations. The company employs approximately 70 people across Toulouse and Paris.
