Who I work with

Two starting points, one standard of engineering.

Whether you are scaling a flagship program or building a company, the goal is the same — systems that work, on time, with the evidence to prove it.

For primes & large enterprises

Senior expertise, exactly where it counts

Plug in independent, senior expertise for a critical phase or review: a defensible requirements baseline, an MBSE deployment that finally sticks, or a proposal that has to win. On your tools, in your processes, ready to be challenged.

For start-ups & scale-ups

Strong engineering foundations from day one

Build on solid ground before complexity bites. Set up right-sized systems engineering, the appropriate level of MBSE, and a credible technical story — the kind that reassures investors and your first institutional customers.

Services

Three ways to raise the engineering bar on your programs.

Senior, hands-on support tailored to your phase — shaping a concept, scaling MBSE, or preparing a bid.

SVC-01

Systems Engineering consultancy

From a blank page to a verified system. I cover the full chain — requirements definition & management, operational concept, functional and physical architecture, trade-off analysis and system-level IVVQ — with the documentation and risk management that keep reviews on track.

SVC-02

MBSE deployment & governance

Make Model-Based Systems Engineering deliver, not just exist. I set the vision, tooling and governance so your model becomes the single source of truth — lifting quality, traceability and project performance across the lifecycle.

SVC-03

Proposal preparation

Win the bids that matter. As an experienced technical peer, I sharpen your win themes, tighten compliance and traceability, and stress-test the proposal the way the customer will — so your strongest ideas actually land.

Approach

Engineering pulled by value, not paperwork.

A pragmatic method that keeps the team focused on what the system must achieve — and turns documentation into a by-product of good engineering, not the goal.

01 / VALUE-PULLED

Start from the need

Pin down the real need, the key and driver requirements, and the value at stake — so every decision traces back to what matters, and nothing is engineered for its own sake.

02 / SE DEPLOYMENT

Deploy systems engineering

Put the right processes, artifacts and reviews in place, sized to your program — rigorous where it counts, never heavier than it needs to be.

03 / CONFIGURATION

Keep control as you scale

Establish configuration management that keeps baselines, changes and budgets consistent as the system — and the team — grow.

Experience

A senior systems architect, proven on Europe’s flagship programs.

Clément Goujon

Founder & Principal Consultant

A systems engineer for nearly ten years on Europe’s flagship space and defense programs, Clément led the system architecture of ESA’s Argonaut lunar lander and shaped the MBSE deployment strategy of a leading space integrator. He has driven projects, R&D studies and winning proposals across a wide spectrum — telecom satellites, lunar landers and transfer vehicles, crewed habitats, communication & navigation systems — building on experience developing RF products for the space segment.

Today he leads systems engineering on a major European naval program (€5B+, 800+ engineers), teaches Space Systems Engineering & MBSE at Master’s level (Université Toulouse III) and mentors European space start-ups. INCOSE CSEP certified — working in English, French and Italian.

CSEP

INCOSE Certified Systems Engineering Professional

Led systems engineering on programs worth €250k to €5B+, from R&D studies and feasibility studies to major contracts.

Team leadership — led functional-architect groups and peer reviews within the System, Functional & Avionics Architecture Committee of a Large System Integrator.

Recognized specialist in MBSE — built the MBSE deployment strategy, led R&D studies with ESA and coached international engineering teams.

Trainer & lecturer — teaches Space Systems Engineering & MBSE at Master’s level (Université Toulouse III) and provided company-wide training and practice-sharing.

Mentor to European space start-ups — technical and business coaching.

Physics Engineering background (MSc, INSA Toulouse) — a multidisciplinary foundation spanning applied physics and materials, electronics and signal processing, RF, instrumentation and test benches: the base to engage across the full technical spectrum of a project.

What you get

Outcomes, not just deliverables.

Every engagement is shaped around the result you need.

Win more proposals

Sharper win themes and a technically credible bid that holds up under customer review.

De-risk execution

Clear requirements and architecture that prevent the costly rework that derails programs.

Make teams more efficient

Deploy MBSE so everyone works from one consistent model — fewer misunderstandings, faster decisions.

Build on solid foundations

For young companies: the engineering rigor and credibility that reassure investors and institutional customers.
