Its mission: to develop and commercialise propulsion systems for small satellites on a global scale.\nWe design products focused on impact, fast delivery, and continuous improvement. Inspired by the digital world, we are firmly customer-oriented and driven by an entrepreneurial spirit.\nWe manage risks to push boundaries and achieve results that would not be possible within a traditional space model.\nWe deploy every necessary resource to support the development of our products, whether in propulsion or in-orbit services. Strengthened by an innovative mindset inherited from our early days, we are preparing to grow into an ambitious industrial company.\nJob Description\nWe are looking for a Multi-Physics Engineering Team Lead at our Massy site, to support the rapid growth.\nAttached to the Spaceware Engineering Team, you will be responsible for leading the technical, operational, and people management activities of the Simulation team. The role ensures the quality, robustness, and consistency of simulation activities supporting product development and qualification throughout the engineering lifecycle.\nThe position oversees three multidisciplinary simulation teams:\nStructural Simulation\n\nThermal Simulation\n\nFluid Dynamics (CFD)\n\nThis role will be interacting with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.\nMain responsibilities:\nTeam Management\nLead, coach, and develop the team. You may also participate in recruiting future team members.\nSet objectives, conduct performance reviews, and support career development.\nFoster technical excellence, collaboration between the teams, continuous improvement, innovation, and the sharing of knowledge.\nOversee team activities\nDefine team priorities based on project needs and development milestones\nEnsure on-time, high-quality delivery of simulation activities within resource constraints.\nAllocate resources and manage competing priorities across projects.\nTechnical Leadership\nEnsure the quality, robustness and traceability of simulation results.\nReview and approve simulation methodologies and critical analyses.\nPromote Verification & Validation (V&V) and simulation/test correlation.\nSupport engineering teams during design reviews and technical decision-making.\nSimulation Strategy\nDrive improvements in simulation methods, automation and standardisation.\nDevelop multi-physics simulation capabilities across Structures, Thermal and CFD.\nEvaluate and deploy new simulation tools and best practices.\nCross-Functional Collaboration\nPartner with Engineering, Systems, Design, Test, Industrialisation, Quality and Project Management teams, and represent the simulation organisation with customers and external partners when required.\nPreferred Experience\nMaster's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, Computational Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.\n8-12+ years experience in numerical simulation.\nProven experience managing technical engineering teams.\nExperience in a complex industrial environment.\nStrong expertise in either Structural Analysis (FEA); Thermal Simulation; CFD. Expertise across all three domains is not required. The ability to lead multidisciplinary experts and understand cross-domain interactions is essential.\nTechnical Skills Required\nDeep understanding of Numerical simulation (FEA/FVM); Verification & Validation (V&V); Simulation-to-test correlation; Multi-physics simulation principles\nExperience with one of several of the following tools: Abaqus; ANSYS (Fluent, Mechanical); Nastran; COMSOL; Siemens Simcenter or others.\nSoft Skills Required\nTeam leadership & development & decision making.\nClear communication both verbal and written.\nAnalytical, & result-oriented.\nHigh degree of autonomy\nThis job description is designed for a senior management role, where the primary responsibility is to lead an organisation of experts rather than to be the technical expert in each of the disciplines. Expertise in just one of the three fields (structures, thermal or fluid dynamics) is considered sufficient, provided the candidate can demonstrate a strong ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, understand the interfaces between the various physical disciplines and ensure the overall quality of numerical simulation activities.\nAbout our recruitment process\nWe are committed to recruiting the right people for the right job regardless of your private background.\nWe meet at least three times in order to give you a better idea of what it's like to work at Exotrail:\n1. Interview with our Talent Acquisition Manager: you will learn more about the position and our culture\n2. Technical Interview with someone from the team: you will discover your work environment and learn more about the required qualifications\n3. On-site interview with your future manager: to delve deeper into the position and expectations.\nInterview with the N+2 : you can make sure that you share the same vision and values of the company","description_format":"text","description_chars":5079,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Game Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-07T10:31:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.787,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":96,"expected_fill_days":79,"reasons":["conf:5","urgency","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/exotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/exotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T02:47:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4758,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":53096},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=53096"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fexotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fexotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fexotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/exotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fexotrail-multi-physics-engineering-team-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":502015}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"exotrail.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":502015},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
