About the Job

Requirements

  • A degree in Electronic Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or an equivalent qualification.
  • Senior-level experience.
  • In-depth knowledge of DO-254/ED-80 and AMC 20-152A, including planning, conceptual and detailed design, implementation, verification, configuration management, process assurance, and certification liaison.
  • In-depth knowledge of DO-330/ED-215 for tool assessment and tool qualification in the AEH domain.
  • Knowledge of AMC 20-189 for the management and acceptance of Open Problem Reports and AMC 20-193 for multi-core processors, where applicable.
  • Adequate knowledge of DO-178C/ED-12C and supplements DO-331, DO-332, and DO-333 to manage software/AEH interfaces and assess applicability in mixed contexts.
  • Knowledge of the applicable EASA/FAA civil certification framework, including Part-21, AMC/GM, Certification Specifications, ETSO/TSO, and defining the certification basis and means of compliance.
  • Knowledge of the military airworthiness and certification framework, particularly EMAR 21.
  • Ability to understand differences, equivalences, and tailoring between civil and military processes, including Level of Involvement, compliance demonstration, evidence acceptance, and recognition between authorities.
  • Problem-solving ability and good communication and stakeholder-interfacing skills.
  • Good written and spoken English (B2).
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Office.
  • Availability for business travel.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare and conduct pre-SOI technical reviews during the Planning, Development, Verification, and Final phases, tailored to the Certification Programme, certification basis, Compliance Demonstration Items, and Level of Involvement defined by the competent civil or military authority.
  • Conduct technical assessments of FPGA, ASIC, CPLD, SoC, and other AEH devices, including custom components, programmable logic, and safety-relevant integrated functions.
  • Assess evidence compliance with DO-254/ED-80 and AMC 20-152A, taking into account the hardware design assurance level and device complexity.
  • Analyze PHAC and related plans, hardware requirements, architecture/design data, HDL, synthesis and implementation data, verification procedures and results, elemental analysis, robustness, coverage, traceability, configuration index, and problem reports.
  • Assess tool assessment and tool qualification according to DO-330/ED-215 when applicable to the AEH lifecycle; consider interfaces with DO-331, DO-332, and DO-333 when models, software techniques, or mixed integrations make those references relevant to the project.
  • Assess compliance with AMC 20-189 and, for devices or architectures with multi-core processors, AMC 20-193, coordinating shared aspects with systems and software.
  • Coordinate with SQA and use relevant audit reports and Process Assurance records as inputs to pre-SOI, while maintaining technical and certification assessment responsibilities distinct from supplier-development process-assurance activities.
  • Identify findings, observations, gaps, and certification risks; monitor corrective actions and verify that closure evidence is complete.
  • Prepare internal teams and suppliers for official reviews and participate in SOIs and meetings with civil and military authorities in a technical role.
