  • Proven research skills in industrial and/or academic environments, including the ability to work on difficult problems over long periods of time
  • Proven experience leading projects with tight deadlines
  • Great communication skills


Experience in aerospace engineering or avionics is not required; we will teach you everything you need to know about the constraints of safety critical systems in airworthy applications.

Benefits:

  • A team of experienced engineers and researchers, who joined us from most recognized companies and institutions
  • Difficult and interesting problems to solve.
