Looking for jobs with English

Hello! I am in the middle of moving from Budapest to Paris to my boyfriend, and I am looking for jobs in Île-de-France since 9 months (of course I was living in Budapest that time). My question is that is it really that impossible to find a job if my French is not the best yet (I studied French for 6 years earlier, so I have the basics, but forgot a lot because I didn’t have the chance to use it - so now it is on A2-B1 level, and my biggest challenge is speaking of course)? My professional area is medical device development, focusing on preparing regulatory compliant documents (and the primary language in that is English everywhere!), risk management and validation testing. I have 5 years of experience in the medical device field in total of which 4 years are spent in the development area. I am relearning the language of course, but it takes time, and I am also a bit desperate and disappointed since this area requires English language very much. Could you provide some advice?

Update: does the country offer language learning courses for expats (for a reasonable price)?

Edit 2: I am already aware that I need to refresh and upgrade my knowledge of French, as I included in the original post, so if you don’t have a practical advice other than that, just scroll through please. I am looking for opportunities for the near future for now.
