Astridsen advises mid-market and large industrial clients on operational excellence, digitalization, and innovation across nuclear, defense, and offshore sectors. The firm operates a distributed network model, partnering with local independent structures to deliver custom engineering services. Current project portfolio covers electrical design, FPSO (floating production storage offloading) systems, robotic manufacturing cells, embedded defense programs, and complex mechanical optimization for nuclear environments. The organization is actively scaling engineering capacity (91 open roles, 47 posted in the last 30 days) and operates across France and Monaco.
Core stack includes C/C++, real-time operating systems (VxWorks, FreeRTOS, QNX), ARM processors, FPGA design (VHDL, Verilog, Vivado), and industrial communication protocols (CAN, UART). CAD tools include CATIA, AutoCAD, Revit, and EPLAN for electrical design.
Primary verticals include nuclear (RCC-E compliance, high-voltage systems, maintenance optimization), defense (embedded systems, sonar development), and offshore energy (FPSO projects). Also works on robotics, special machines, and assembly-line automation.
