Expleo's aerospace systems engineering, embedded software, and qualification testing services for space and aviation programs across Europe.
Description
Expleo (formerly SQS and BearingPoint Engineering) is a European engineering, technology, and quality assurance services company with significant aerospace and space capabilities. Expleo provides technical staffing, embedded software development, systems engineering, and verification/validation services to space prime contractors and satellite manufacturers across ESA member states.
In the space sector, Expleo engineers work alongside teams at Airbus Defence & Space, Thales Alenia Space, OHB, Safran, and other European space companies on satellite bus subsystems, ground segment software, launch vehicle avionics, and spacecraft testing. The company's services span the full development lifecycle from requirements analysis through design, code, integration, test, and qualification.
Expleo's testing capabilities — hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL), software validation, EMC testing advisory, and ECSS (European Cooperation for Space Standardization) compliance — are particularly valued in space programs where qualification testing demands exhaustive evidence of compliance with rigorous standards. The company operates in 30 countries with 17,000+ employees and has offices near major European space clusters (Toulouse, Bremen, Munich, London).
