Your daily life

We provide and support systems for airspace management and protection. We work with passion in a modern architectural framework, striving to push the boundaries of technology in our key sectors. South of Paris, our site is easily accessible by public transport.

WHAT WE CAN ACHIEVE TOGETHER:

The strategy of the "Airspace Mobility Solutions" (AMS) Business Line is based on two major transformations.

• The establishment of a new product policy based on a coherent portfolio of products for the global market.
• The identification of new Air Traffic Control (ATC) capabilities significantly increasing our order intake by complementing our traditional ATC offering with new digital technologies and applications.

Product development began in 2024, and the challenge ahead consists of 3 points:

Building the foundations of a multi-client product with regular releases. Providing an ambitious functional and technical roadmap for ATC (re-platforming and containerization, continuous integration and deployment, process automation, urbanization). Increasing the efficiency of the engineering process to meet budget and planning and prepare for service delivery.

The product is Topsky-ATC ONE: in its next version, it will be deployed on the OpenSky platform, based on the KAST solution, adapted to the functional, technical, Safety & Cyber context of the ATM world.

Responsibilities

Project Management: Plan, track, coordinate, and supervise engineering activities to ensure delivery on time, cost, and quality.

Team Coordination: Work closely with all stakeholders, including PDA, Scrum Master, PO, engineering, architecture, development & IVV teams to ensure effective project execution.

Agile Collaboration: Promote and apply Agile methodologies to ensure continuous delivery and continuous process improvement.

More specifically:

• You structure and manage the project at all levels (EMP/OBS/WBS/KPIs/JIRA/Team animation/presentations) so that everything is driven by organizational expectations, by clients (internal & external) and associated deliverables.
