Technical Manager M/F

Within the Defense Business Unit and reporting to the Special Vehicles Manager, you are responsible for the design and technical coordination of the project with a view to establishing definition and justification files for complex mechanical systems or subsystems, primarily mechanical, in the Defense field, and particularly for applications intended for Engineering (Crossing Systems, Robots, Special Vehicles).

In this capacity, your missions are as follows:

• You analyze the needs defined in the specifications
• You participate upstream in the tender response phases
• You conduct feasibility studies and development logic
• You define technical orientations at the project level, notably in connection with the methods department, with a view to the industrialization of the developed subsystem
• You understand and respect architectural constraints while applying this approach within the assigned scope (volume, mass, and even energy allocation)
• You are responsible for the pre-dimensioning and design choices of the equipment in compliance with regulatory requirements and contractual performance criteria.
• You define and respect ergonomic constraints
• You guarantee technical choices and performance maintenance in compliance with the specifications (quality, costs, deadlines)
• You are responsible for the estimate and then the mass balance
• You lead the technical teams in charge of the development and qualification of the developed subsystems or assemblies
