Junior Aeronautical Engineer
Bruxelles, 1000
CDI
01/08/2026
Description
About the role
We're a small engineering company specialised in aeronautics. Our team works on complex, real-world topics: air traffic flow management, airspace design, trajectory management, ATC operations, and airport operations. The work is technically demanding and directly impacts how aviation systems perform.
You'll be a core member of a small team — which means your contributions are visible, your ideas matter, and you'll rarely be doing just one thing.
Why join a small team
Direct impact
No corporate layers — your work reaches the client fast
Varied topics
Work across multiple projects and aviation domains
Real ownership
You present to the team and directly to clients
Fast growth
Skills develop across the full aeronautical spectrum
Autonomy — this is how we work
We're looking for someone who hits the ground running. You won't be micromanaged — you'll be
trusted. That means setting your own pace, identifying what needs to be done, and delivering
without waiting to be told. Quick autonomy is not a nice-to-have here: it's how we work.
Why a SME — the real advantages
• You're not a cog. In a SME, your name is on the work. Clients know who you are.
• No waiting in line. Ideas get tested quickly, without six layers of approval.
• You'll wear many hats — and build a broader skillset than any large company would allow at your level.
• The data science path is real — if you want it, the opportunity is there to grow alongside your core engineering work.
What we offer
• A competitive salary --- 13.92 months/ year
• A flexible benefits plan (“cafeteria plan”) — acquire personal IT equipment, lease a bike, create an additional pension plan…
• Additional days of leave — 5 days between Christmas and New Year
• Luncheon vouchers — for each working day
• IT support — provision of a PC; payment of phone and internet subscription
• Teleworking — till 3 days/week; specific allowance to equip yourself at home
• Commuting costs — 100% reimbursement of public transportation
• Hospitalization Insurance — for yourself and your family
Missions
A role with two hats — and they make each other stronger
This isn't a "pick one" role. You'll operate as both a business analyst and a data analyst — and the real value comes from doing both together. Understanding client needs shapes how you query and process data. And digging into the data reveals insights that feed directly back into requirements, decisions, and recommendations.
Business Analyst
• Gather & formalise requirements from clients and stakeholders
• Write technical specs and functional documentation
• Map current processes and spot improvement areas
• Translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations
• Prepare structured reports and client presentations
• Track project milestones and deliverables
Data Analyst
• Source and extract aviation operational datasets
• Clean, validate and structure raw data for analysis
• Process and transform data into usable formats
• Build statistical models and descriptive analyses
• Produce charts, KPIs and dashboards for reporting
• Evolve toward data scientist over time (optional)
HOW THE TWO HATS REINFORCE EACH OTHER
1. Client context shapes the analysis
Understanding what the client actually needs tells you which data to pull, how to clean it, and what statistics matter.
2. Data reveals what requirements miss
Once you're deep in the numbers, you spot patterns, anomalies and opportunities that no brief could have anticipated.
3. Findings loop back into decisions
Your statistical outputs feed directly into specs, process improvements, and the next round of client recommendations.
4. You own the full chain
From raw data to boardroom slide. In a PME, there's no-one to hand off to. That's what makes this role genuinely formative.
