About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bac+5 higher-education qualification from an engineering school or university, with solid knowledge of radar-system development, particularly embedded electronics and complex systems.
  • Five to ten years of significant experience in radar systems engineering and/or designing highly technical embedded systems.
  • Ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment and collaborate with electronics, software, firmware, mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic compatibility teams.
  • Mastery of the specification and design of embedded radar systems, with the ability to guide architecture decisions and ensure performance, cost, and schedule objectives.
  • Proficiency with systems engineering tools such as DOORS, JIRA, Git, or equivalents.
  • Knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering approaches and functional modeling tools such as Capella.
  • Experience with complex digital architectures and allocating functions between hardware, firmware, and software.
  • Awareness of integration, robustness, and qualification concerns for embedded systems.
  • Autonomy, rigor, analytical and synthesis abilities, and collaborative skills to unite multidisciplinary teams around shared objectives.

Responsibilities

  • Define airborne radar system architecture in close collaboration with experts from different technical disciplines.
  • Lead architecture decisions while accounting for demanding operating environments and coordinating with mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic compatibility teams.
  • Determine how functions are allocated between hardware, software, and firmware to support digital transformation and optimize overall system performance.
  • Gather, analyze, and challenge customer needs to propose solutions balancing performance, cost, quality, and schedule, using incremental approaches to manage technical risk.
  • Maintain the consistency and robustness of the upstream system reference baseline used to develop radar subsystems.
  • Anticipate integration, validation, and product robustness needs from the earliest design phases to secure the development lifecycle.
  • Support equipment integration, verification, and qualification by providing systems expertise.
  • Contribute to developing team members' skills through knowledge sharing.
