Embedded systems and semiconductor design engineering for aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors
ADVANS Group is a 1,000–5,000-person engineering services firm based in France, operating three subsidiaries (ELSYS Design, AViSTO, MECAGINE) across microelectronics, software, and mechanical engineering. The tech stack reflects deep hardware-software integration: Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog, and Cadence/Synopsys EDA tools sit alongside C/C++, Python, and .NET. Active hiring is entirely engineering-focused (7 roles, all mid-to-senior level), concentrated in Portugal, with projects spanning emulation environments and aviation systems—consistent with their stated focus on complex, mission-critical design for energy, aerospace, semiconductor, and defense.
ADVANS Group partners with clients in aerospace, defense, semiconductor, automotive, railway, and IoT sectors to design and engineer complex electronic, software, and mechanical systems. The company operates through three primary subsidiaries and can execute complete projects or deep-dive into specialized domains: microelectronics (FPGA, ASIC, SoC), electronic board design, low-level and application software, cloud/DevSecOps, quality assurance, data/AI, and mechanical engineering with simulation. They work primarily on-site from offices in France (headquarters in Cachan, Île-de-France) and are expanding hiring capacity in Portugal.
