You are, in this respect, considered the focal point of development on these subjects. You lead and master experimental plans.
• You lead in project teams the in-depth studies for understanding sensor errors and their repeatability. These studies are focused on mastering and improving the process to converge towards our competitiveness targets, a strong challenge for your activities.
• As a transversal gyrolaser sensor specialist, you participate in the developments of our Inertial Measurement Units.
• You will also participate in the R&T project dedicated to studies of tomorrow's gyrometry.

Your profile:

You have a BAC+5 (engineering school or equivalent) in photonic physics with significant professional experience in industry and/or a CIFRE doctoral thesis in the industrial field:

• Your training in physics, photonics, laser physics allows you to assimilate the concepts of the sensor and exercise a critical mind on limiting physical phenomena;
• You have skills in mechanical drawing reading and basic chemistry;
• An ability to cooperate in an international context (spoken and written English)
• Ideally, you have at least 3 years of experience in the aeronautics field
