Your daily life

The Toulouse site is responsible for satellite systems engineering, the design and production of payloads, as well as the development and qualification of ground segments. It integrates a research center and an industrial accelerator for start-ups and ventures.

Within the Toulouse site and the Radionavigation Department, your mission will be to improve a simulator designed to precisely evaluate the performance of GNSS receivers. This simulator, currently developed in Matlab and Python, faces computational performance limitations. You will be responsible for analyzing user needs by working closely with domain engineers, then designing, developing, and testing new functionalities to optimize the simulator. Several areas of improvement are envisioned: parallelizing calculations on CPU or GPU, using high-performance Python libraries, or migrating to a compiled language like C++. Finally, the writing of complete technical documentation will accompany each evolution. All these tasks will be carried out in close collaboration with the team, in a continuous improvement approach to the tool and its robustness.
