We are looking for a highly skilled Electronic Industrialisation Manager to lead the transformation of complex defence-sector electronic prototypes into reliable, certifiable, and industrialised products. This is a full-time assignment with high strategic value, replacing a retiring expert in April 2026.
* Oversee the full industrialisation lifecycle: prototyping, production, assembly, and testing.
* Define electronic components and manage specialised procurement and production schedules.
* Develop and maintain hardware/software test systems and in-house test benches.
* Supervise a small team of engineers and temporary resources.
* Ensure compliance with IPC standards; handle non-conformities.
* Perform both manual and automated tests (LabVIEW, TestStand).
* Provide technical support (HW/SW troubleshooting), documentation, and cross-functional collaboration.
* Work closely with the design office, even when project files are incomplete.
* Transfer know-how through internal training at both local and international levels.
* Support certification and qualification for mass production.
Technical Environment:
* Complex systems (e.g. turret-type platforms): 5 enclosures per turret, 10–20 PCBs per unit.
* Miniaturised, strategic components.
* In-house test benches (8 units built, 3 in Belgium).
Profile :
* Degree in Electronics Engineering.
* Minimum 10 years of experience in electronic industrialisation.
* Expertise in power electronics, design, assembly, cabling, and testing.
* Proficiency with ALTIUM (schematic + PCB design).
* Good knowledge of LabVIEW; familiarity with TestStand is a plus.
* Strong understanding of IPC standards (CID/CID+, IPC-A-600/610/620).
* Working knowledge of embedded software and systems integration.
* Experience in the defence, aerospace, automotive or railway industries preferred.
* Technical leadership, rigour, and ability to thrive in high-precision, low-structure environments.
* Fluent in French; technical proficiency in English is required.
* Available quickly and able to assimilate a critical, niche skillset.
* Willingness to travel abroad (approx. 4 times/year).
* No regular remote work.
