Your Role :

Lead and coordinate the strategic development of the new GNSS simulator.

You will play a central role in the successful delivery of our next generation GNSS simulation solution.

You will coordinate internal R&D teams, interface with industrial, customers and institutional partners, and ensure that the project progresses efficiently while meeting technical, quality, and timeline objectives.

This role requires both strong organizational capabilities and a technical background that enables you to understand the key challenges of GNSS signal generation, real-time embedded systems, and simulation environments.

Your responsibilities will include

• Managing the full project lifecycle: definition of requirements, test & validation processes, planning, resource allocation, risk assessment, execution, delivery, and reporting .
• Managing customers expectation and satisfaction through regular contact
• Leading a cross-functional team composed of developers and GNSS experts
• Coordinating technical discussions and system design reviews related to GNSS simulation architecture, signal processing chains, and system integration
• Ensuring that development follows relevant space engineering practices and quality standards
• Acting as the main point of contact for stakeholders (clients, partners, internal management) and facilitating effective communication across all levels
• Setting an efficient environment in a transnational context (France and Belgium)
• Monitoring the progress of the project with KPIs, schedules, and milestones, while identifying potential bottlenecks and proposing mitigation plans

Proven experience (5+ years) in managing complex R&D or engineering projects, preferably in aerospace, space, defense, or embedded systems domains

Solid understanding of GNSS technologies, signal processing principles, and navigation algorithms

Familiarity with tools and languages such as: LabVIEW / Veristand, MATLAB / SIMULINK, C/C++ for real-time embedded

Ability to propose system architecture either on software or hardware side,

Ability to drive technical choices for language and tools usage to accelerate the development

Ability to support hardware down selection adapted to the projects needs.

Ability to grasp system-level architectures and work closely with technical teams

Fluent in English (written and spoken), French is a plus

Nice-to-have :

• Experience working in regulated environments (DO-178C, ECSS standards, etc.)
• Background in aerospace avionics, space systems, or satellite communications
• Knowledge of real-time, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), model-in-loop (MIL) systems, Functional Mock Interface
• Previous involvement in the development or validation of GNSS simulators or receivers
