Aeronautical engineering and consulting for aircraft design and certification
Cavok Engineering is a 20-person aeronautical engineering firm operating out of France with active projects spanning hybrid propulsion, historic aircraft restoration, and avionics integration. The stack is CAD-heavy (CATIA, Solidworks, 3DExperience, Abaqus) with no evidence of modern DevOps, cloud platforms, or data tools — typical for a consulting shop focused on structural design and compliance work rather than software. Hiring is engineering-dominant (10 of 16 roles) with a heavy intern/junior skew, suggesting they're scaling hands-on design capacity to handle concurrent aircraft programs and certification timelines.
Cavok Engineering provides aeronautical consulting, engineering design, and project management for aviation manufacturers and operators. The firm serves clients across aircraft development, restoration, and certification — from early-stage design through industrialization and compliance. Their core offering spans structural analysis (Abaqus), CAD modeling (CATIA/Solidworks), avionics integration, and manufacturing process support. Projects include hybrid propulsion development, glass cockpit retrofits, solar-electric battery systems, and drone assembly. Based in Sainte-Menehould in the Grand Est region of France, they maintain presence in Spain and recruit across both countries.
Primary stack: CATIA, Solidworks, 3DExperience (Dassault ecosystem), Abaqus for FEA, plus Office suite and Odoo for project/resource management.
Active work includes hybrid propulsion aircraft, historic amphibious aircraft restoration, glass cockpit Garmin integration, solar battery charging systems, professional drone assembly, and CS-23 certification support.
