They are now hiring a Head of Engineering to lead engineering operations and drive execution of their technical roadmap.

Mission

The Head of Engineering will oversee all engineering activities across the company and ensure successful delivery of the technical roadmap.

This person will manage and mentor a multidisciplinary engineering team, oversee the full product development lifecycle, and ensure the reliability, quality, and performance of their propulsion systems. The role also includes leading in-orbit demonstration efforts and managing the development and maintenance of technical documentation and knowledge.

This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role in a fast-scaling industrial environment.

  • Coordinate closely with Production, Quality, and Product teams to ensure on-time delivery
  • Oversee product development cycles and ensure alignment with product strategy
  • Report progress, risks, and priorities to the CTO and leadership team

Candidate Profile

  • 8–12 years of engineering experience in aerospace, satellite systems, electric propulsion, high-tech hardware, or similar deep-tech industries
  • Proven experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex products from concept to industrialization
  • Strong systems-engineering mindset and multidisciplinary collaboration experience
  • Ability to balance strategic oversight with hands-on problem-solving
  • Comfortable with high-stakes milestones (qualification, launch campaigns, in-orbit demonstrations, industrialization)
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work across teams
  • Motivated by technical innovation and fast-growth industrial environments
  • Fluent in English; French is a plus

What They Offer

  • A strategic leadership role at the center of the company's technical and industrial scale-up
  • The opportunity to build and structure the engineering organization of a fast-growing space-tech company
  • A dynamic, international environment where advanced technology rapidly moves from design to flight
  • Competitive salary, performance bonus, and stock-option incentives (BSPCE or equivalent)
