Full Description
Celeres delivers critical software and systems for space, defence, transports and public sector. We build the invisible backbone that keeps essential operations running, systems designed to work silently, reliably, under load, for decades.
With 39 years of proven expertise, we serve space agencies, defense operators and critical infrastructure organizations across Europe. Our commitment is uncompromising: technical excellence, operational precision, and the reliability that cannot fail. We are a high-tech company, committed to the design, integration, and operation of complex, mission-critical applications and systems throughout the world.
Job description
The role
- Under the supervision of the Product Assurance and Reliability Engineering team, and with progressively increasing autonomy, support space projects for customers such as ESA and CNES.
Hardware (HW): Support functional analysis and system decomposition; prepare and maintain FMEA/FMECA, FTA, and RBD analyses; collect failure-rate data and contribute to reliability, availability, MTBF, and maintainability predictions.
Software (SW): Support criticality classification, traceability, architecture and design reviews, failure mode analysis, verification activities, defect tracking, and coverage and maturity metrics, in accordance with ECSS-Q-ST-80 where applicable.
System Level: Contribute to reliability analyses, interface analyses, and common-cause failure assessments, while maintaining assumptions, models, traceability, and evidence of RAMS compliance. Review documentation, configuration records, and logs; track non-conformities, actions, risks, and deviations; support design reviews, audits, and performance indicators.
Internal Testing: Collaborate with engineering teams in the preparation and execution of internal system tests; verify configurations and procedures, ensure requirement-to-test-to-result traceability, record evidence, analyse anomalies, and verify corrective actions and re-testing results.
