Ingénieur Software Temps Réel H/F - BERTIN TECHNOLOGIES

BERTIN ALPAO, a subsidiary of the BERTIN TECHNOLOGIES group, is a high-tech company renowned for its innovation and expertise in adaptive optics (AO).

A world leader in this field, we design and produce a wide range of deformable mirrors (DM), wavefront sensors (WFS) and customized systems, specially designed for demanding applications such as space, astronomy, optical and quantum communications, ophthalmology, microscopy, microelectronics and laser applications. Thanks to our unique technology, we enable our users to correct optical aberrations in real time, thus obtaining very high-resolution images.

Over 90% exported, Bertin Alpao takes on multidisciplinary technological and scientific challenges in the service of international research projects. In particular, we have developed deformable mirrors for the world's largest telescope, and collaborated with the Nobel Prize-winning physics team Reinhard GENZEL and Andrea GHEZ, equipping a key instrument used for research into the Milky Way's supermassive black hole.

Our partners include prestigious players in the fields of research, such as ESO (European Space Observatory), NASA and CNES, and industry, such as Airbus, Thales and Safran...

Located in "Inovallée" in Montbonnot Saint-martin (38), in the heart of Europe's Silicon Valley, we offer our 50 employees a unique working environment at the foot of the Alps.
