    • Strong knowledge of FAA and EASA certification processes, including STCs, PMAs, and major repair approvals.
    • Experience preparing and reviewing compliance data, reports, and substantiation documentation.

    • Familiarity with AS9100/ISO 9001 quality management systems.
    • Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and regulatory compliance mindset.
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills for collaborating with regulators, customers, and internal teams.
