Your daily life

The Gennevilliers Campus is the heart of design, development, and support activities for major defense systems: radio communications, resilient network and infrastructure systems, satellite communications, collaborative combat, and cybersecurity. Located north of Paris, it is easily accessible by public transport.

At the dawn of a development cycle aimed at renewing or evolving major military aeronautical platforms (Rafale, MRTT, helicopters, drones), communications are undergoing a revolution and are a major challenge to deliver the right information at the right time. In this context, you will work as an IVVQ engineer on the integrated communication solution for MALE drones, implementing the capabilities of Aero Connectivity.

As such, within an IVVQ team of 4 collaborators, your main missions are:

• Assemble and integrate the different components of the system (communication server, radio transmission means, encryptors) on the dedicated project test platform
• Verify the compliance of the integrated solution with system requirements
• Contribute to the preparation, execution, and quality of automated tests in a continuous integration logic
• Implement the required improvements on the infrastructure and test means to guarantee them a high degree of robustness
• Supervise anomaly management until their correction/verification
• On opportunity, provide technical assistance to Dassault Aviation during aircraft bench tests or on the carrier in Mérignac and/or Istres

Your profile:

Are you an Engineer/Bac+5 graduate with experience in Integration, Validation, Verification, and/or Qualification?

You have solid knowledge of TCP/IP networks, and desirably in radio communications or analog/digital electronics.

You have the following IT skills: scripting languages (Python, bash, etc.) or development (C, C++…), Linux OS, and virtualized environments (e.g., KVM, QEMU, Docker…).

You have knowledge of CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, etc.) and DevOps concepts (including Ansible tool).

You have knowledge of testing methodologies (functional, integration, performance tests, etc.) and coverage criteria, as well as associated tools (automation frameworks, Jira, IVV Management: Vivaldi, CMG…).

You demonstrate the ability to solve complex problems in a constantly evolving technical environment.
