Do you fancy intriguing work in a complex and challenging environment?
Galileo is a prestigious European project. In the current world situation, it is important for Europe to be sovereign and independent. This is why the EU has its own navigation system, as a counterpart to America’s GPS, Russia's GLONASS and China's Beidou.
In our Rotterdam office, CGI works on the design, development, validation, qualification, maintenance and security of elements responsible for the communication between ground stations and the satellites and users. The Galileo program is in constant evolution: the 1st generation satellites are being replaced with a new generation of satellites with increased capabilities which entails a complete revision of the ground segment both in terms of software and hardware!
CGI is also developing Galileo applications for governments and companies, such as S-Tracks. This solution provides reliable position determination & validation, making jamming and spoofing of navigation signals detectable and enabling appropriate action to be taken. S-Tracks allows users to bring the secure Galileo signal into real world applications, for example: ensuring an offender with an ankle bracelet is really at home and not using a spoofer. S-Tracks also has applications for the transport and logistics domain as it can be used for special cargo transports.
In short: we have a lot of work to do in a complex and challenging environment. We are always looking for talented Engineers who want to join us on the exiting crossroad between IT and Space. Currently, we are especially looking for multiple Infrastructure Engineers, Microsoft Windows Engineers and Test Engineers. Experience or affinity with space is nice, but not a necessity because CGI has its own Space Academy that supports all members in the training they need to achieve their career goals.
