Inertial measurement systems and navigation software for defense, surveying, and autonomous vehicles
SBG Systems manufactures inertial sensors (IMU, AHRS, INS) and post-processing software for precision navigation in unmanned systems, surveying, and defense applications. The engineering-heavy org (11 of 15 active hires) is focused on next-generation sensor development with GNSS integration, algorithm design (RAIM, signal processing), and Qt-based software — while simultaneously scaling production reliability and defense market penetration, suggesting a shift from early R&D toward industrialization and regulated-market sales.
Notable leadership hires: Head of Defense, Navigation Department Head
SBG Systems is a privately held manufacturer of inertial measurement systems headquartered in Carrières-sur-Seine, France, founded in 2007. The company designs MEMS-based inertial sensors (IMU, AHRS, INS) combined with GNSS receivers and proprietary post-processing kinematic (PPK) and real-time kinematic (RTK) software. Products serve defense, aerospace, surveying, and autonomous vehicle markets, with applications in antenna tracking, camera stabilization, and unmanned vehicle guidance. The engineering team develops embedded algorithms in C++ and Python, supported by MATLAB and Octave for algorithm research, and uses Qt for user-facing software.
C++, Qt, Python, MATLAB, Octave, GPS/GNSS, Lidar, MEMS, with design in Altium and project management in Jira and Confluence.
New-generation inertial sensors with GNSS integration, qinertia post-processing software, Qt-based UI, GNSS signal processing and RAIM algorithms, and industrialization of electronic board production.
