About us:

CENTUM was founded in 2010 with a clear vision: ‘Flying with a purpose’. We are a team of highly qualified engineers with more than 15 years of experience in the areas of digital signal processing: mobile communications and software defined radio.

Our mission is to design, develop and commercialize mission aircraft systems for the Emergency, Security, Defense and Aerospace markets.

At CENTUM, we believe that human talent is our greatest asset. Our mission is clear: to develop innovative technology solutions that directly contribute to the safety and well-being of people globally. Every member of our team works on projects that save lives and make the world a safer place.

We provide technological solutions that maximize the efficiency in operations such as search and rescue, maritime surveillance, firefighting, emergency communications, disaster relief, and border control. Furthermore, it supports its customers in the integration and throughout the whole lifecycle by a highly qualified engineering team, with the clear purpose of improving people’s lives.

About the role:

We are looking for a Product Verification Engineer to join the Product Assurance – Quality Control team within Operations.

This role focuses on defining, developing, and executing verification, durability, and reliability testing strategies for electronic products and mission systems operating in demanding environments such as aerospace, defense, emergency response, and security applications.

The objective is to ensure product robustness, reduce early-life failures (“infant mortality”), and continuously improve product reliability throughout the industrial lifecycle.

As part of the Operations area, the role collaborates closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Product Assurance teams to strengthen product robustness, improve reliability, and ensure compliance with quality requirements before and during serial production.

The engineer will contribute to the design of testing methodologies, automation of verification sequences, and analysis of product behaviour under operational and environmental stress conditions, supporting the delivery of systems that must perform reliably in critical missions.

Key responsibilities:

• Define and develop verification, reliability, and qualification test procedures for electronic products, assemblies, and mission systems.

• Design and execute stress tests, endurance tests, burn-in strategies, and accelerated ageing methodologies to identify early failures (“infant mortality”) and improve product robustness.

• Develop test sequences, automation scripts, and algorithms to optimize verification processes, increase repeatability, and improve efficiency.

• Analyze failures, anomalies, and reliability trends, supporting root cause investigations, corrective actions, and continuous product improvement.

• Collaborate closely with Engineering to improve design-for-testability, manufacturability, and long-term product reliability.

• Contribute to the definition of verification standards, acceptance criteria, and qualification methodologies, ensuring products meet quality and reliability expectations before and during serial production.

Requirements:

• Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (Electronics specialization), Electronic Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or similar.

• Experience (or strong interest) in electronics verification, reliability, testing, quality engineering, or industrial validation.

• Knowledge of electronic systems, PCB assemblies, RF systems, embedded electronics, power electronics, or industrial electronics.

• Understanding of product reliability concepts, failure mechanisms, and behavior under operational or environmental stress conditions.

• Experience with laboratory instrumentation is valued: Oscilloscopes, Signal generators, Spectrum analyzers, Power supplies, Environmental chambers, Test benches / test rigs.

• Desirable experience developing test automation scripts or algorithms (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar) is highly valued.

• Familiarity with statistical analysis, failure analysis methodologies, reliability testing, or qualification processes is considered a plus.

• English mínimum level B2.

Soft skills:

• Methodical and organized person.

• Use to work in a dynamic and flexible environment.

• Autonomy and responsibility

• Ability to take on new challenges.

• High attention to detail and quality orientation.

Other skills:

• Experience with failure analysis and root cause investigation methodologies.

• Knowledge of Python for test automation and data analysis.

• Familiarity with MES, ERP, PLM, or traceability systems.

We offer:

• Competitive compensation plan

• Full-time, permanent contract

• 24 vacation days+24th and 31st December+ Public Holidays

• Flextime

• Free Friday afternoons and summer afternoons

• Other benefits paid from the gross salary (ticket restaurant, transport tickets, nursey tickets)

• Permanent internal training + external training

• Career progress opportunities

• Work with the latest technologies

We value both the growth and well-being of people. In this environment, you will find an atmosphere that supports not only professional development, but also work-life balance. We encourage work-life balance and flexibility to adapt to the needs of each team member. From ongoing training to wellness initiatives, we strive to make each person feel valued, motivated and purposeful.

At Centum, equality and diversity are essential values. We are committed to creating an inclusive, discrimination-free workplace where everyone is respected. Each individual’s unique perspective enhances our team, driving a collaborative culture that promotes shared growth and success.
