Engineering services for defense, energy, and aerospace projects
Ametra Engineering is a 500+ person engineering services firm headquartered in France, operating as a partnership with regional offices across the country. The company specializes in mechanical, electrical, and systems integration work for defense, energy, and aerospace clients. The tech stack reveals a traditional CAD-heavy engineering operation—Solidworks, CATIA, PTC Creo, AutoCAD dominate—paired with industrial automation (Rockwell Automation, Siemens) and embedded systems tooling (C, C++, FPGA, CAN). Hiring is engineering-focused (137 of 142 open roles) and accelerating, with a mid-to-senior skew that suggests scale-up of delivery capacity rather than leadership gaps.
Ametra Engineering supports large industrial clients—primarily in defense, petrochemicals, energy, and aerospace—through design, integration, and manufacturing engineering services. The company operates across mechanical design (CAD in Solidworks and CATIA), electrical and electronic systems integration (using EPLAN, SEE Electrical, ETAP), and embedded systems development (C, C++, FPGA). Active projects span nuclear modernization, space-systems test infrastructure, aerospace integration work, and medical device test-bench design. The business model combines engineering services with recruitment and training offerings, positioning Ametra as both a project delivery firm and a talent pipeline within industrial sectors. Regional expansion and project velocity are driving accelerated hiring across France.
Primary CAD platforms are Solidworks, CATIA, and PTC Creo for mechanical design; AutoCAD for drafting; and Inventor and NX for additional modeling. Electrical design uses EPLAN, SEE Electrical, and ETAP.
