• Coordinate with regulatory authorities, DERs, and auditors to secure approvals and close compliance gaps.
• Drive certification strategies to meet FAA, EASA, and global airworthiness standards.
• Develop and maintain certification plans, test reports, IMs, PGAs, compliance matrices, and ICAs.
• Define certification strategy and means of compliance.
• Partner with systems, software, and hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration of certification requirements throughout design and development.
• Coordinate conformity inspections, audits, and reviews with FAA, EASA, and DERs.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior engineers.
