Mission-critical systems integrator for defense, space, and infrastructure
CS GROUP designs and deploys safety-critical systems for European defense, space, and critical infrastructure operators. The tech stack—C++, C#, Jenkins, Git, Visual Studio, SQL Server, Azure—reflects a traditional embedded-systems integrator, but adoption of MinIO and Oracle Linux alongside active hiring in embedded software leadership and security (39 open roles) suggests the company is modernizing infrastructure for cloud-native and containerized deployments. Active projects span satellite navigation (EGNOS), maritime surveillance, anti-drone systems, and autonomous vehicles—all domains where certification and airworthiness standards are existential constraints.
Notable leadership hires: IVVQ System Team Lead, Project Director, Technical Lead Communications, Director Navigation Satellites, Embedded Software Lead
