Space Project Manager

M3 Systems contribue depuis plus de 20 ans, aux activités de R&D des agences spatiales et de la défense dans le domaine de la navigation par satellite (GNSS). Le Centre National d Etudes Spatiales (CNES), l Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA), l Agence de l'Union européenne pour le programme spatial (EUSPA) et la Direction Générale de l Armement (DGA) nous ont permis de développer un savoir-faire unique et de construire une offre de produits GNSS couvrant l ensemble de la chaîne de la valeur allant des tests en laboratoire jusqu aux systèmes intégrés et embarqués.

Nos solutions sont adoptées par des industriels du spatial comme EUTELSAT mais aussi de l automobile avec Stellantis (Ex groupe PSA), General Motors, Continental et du ferroviaire avec HITACHI et ALSTOM.

Basée historiquement en région toulousaine, notre société se développe aussi en Belgique, au plus près des institutions européennes.

Avec l émergence des nouvelles constellations et de nouveaux services notre passion du spatial nous pousse à dépasser nos limites et à proposer des ruptures technologiques dans le monde du GNSS. Des exemples récents annoncent cette nouvelle étape dans l histoire de M3 Systems. C est le cas du projet de charge utile GNSS reconfigurable à bord du satellite YAM3 de Loft orbital qui sera lancé fin 2022 et du prix décerné par EUSPA pour le concept « SANGENE » de radar passif GNSS.

Venez nous rejoindre et partager notre savoir-faire pour contribuer à de nouvelles solutions de navigation par satellite

**Project Leadership & Coordination**

In this role, you will actively manage the technical and organizational aspects of a complex space mission:

- Lead project activities across all phases
- Serve as the main interface with European partners, coordinating schedules, deliverables and milestones
- Ensure consistency across technical domains, particularly regarding:

- Environmental constraints (radiation, vibration, thermal)

- Integration and test activities

- Overall mission performance

- Prepare and lead key system reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, QR, AR)
- Drive risk management and ensure adherence to budget and timeline

**RF/SDR Payload Development & Integration**

You will also supervise the internal development and integration of advanced radio-frequency payloads:

- Oversee technical progress of RF/SDR payload development
- Ensure seamless interface with platform and system teams
- Support performance assessments, validation activities and payload-level testing
- Background in advanced RF technologies is required, experience in any of the following is a strong plus:

- ELINT / SIGINT

- GNSS technologies

- Radar or remote sensing payloads

- Secure communications architectures

**Systems Engineering Responsibilities**

As part of your responsibilities, you will contribute significantly to system architecture and engineering processes:

- Define and manage system-level requirements
- Ensure full requirements traceability through design and implementation
- Oversee verification and validation (V&V) activities at system and subsystem level
- Contribute to overall mission architecture (satellite bus, payload, ground segment, operations)

We are looking for a Space Project Manager to lead a multi-partner European mission, with a central role in the design, development and integration (SmallSat/CubeSat systems). Based in Toulouse (France), you will coordinate technical teams and external partners, ensuring coherence, performance and timely delivery of a high-ambition program.

As the primary project orchestrator, you will oversee the full project lifecycle—from early architecture definition to integration, testing and launch preparation. You will serve as the central interface between internal teams, European partners and subcontractors, maintaining a clear and consistent vision of the mission’s objectives and constraints.

**Experience & Technical Background**

- 5-10 years of experience in space project management, ideally with SmallSat/CubeSat missions
- Solid understanding of environmental constraints, AIV/AIT processes and space systems engineering
- Proven technical expertise in RF or SDR payloads
- Experience with multi-partner or European collaborative programs is highly appreciated

**Education & Skills**

- Master’s degree or engineering degree in aerospace, electronics, telecommunications or related field
- Excellent communication and coordination skills
- Ability to manage complex schedules, risks and budgets
- Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to work across multidisciplinary teams

**Languages**

- Fluent English required for international coordination
- French is a strong asset for local interactions
