Job Title: Senior Aerospace Certification & Airworthiness Engineer
Role Overview
We are seeking a Senior Aerospace Certification & Airworthiness Engineer to lead the regulatory approval process for our aircraft modification projects. You will act as the technical authority for certification, responsible for developing compliance checklists, substantiation reports, and coordinating directly with regulatory representatives to ensure all design changes meet stringent airworthiness standards.
This is a high-visibility position for an engineer who understands the critical balance between design innovation and regulatory requirements. You will manage the certification lifecycle for modification projects, ensuring that all data deliverables from suppliers are accurate and that compliance concerns are addressed proactively.
