Location: Hybrid workplace in Bristol Employment Type: Multiple roles across various disciplines in eVTOL certification
About the Role
Expleo, a global engineering services provider, supports businesses in delivering innovation through digital transformation, aerospace design, certification, and quality services. We are seeking multiple Certification Verification Engineers (CVEs) to play a critical role in certifying next-generation electric rotorcraft (eVTOL) platforms.
These roles involve independent verification and approval of engineering evidence to demonstrate compliance with EASA Certification Specifications (CS-27/CS-29). Successfully selected candidates will:
- Act as an independent technical authority in their discipline.
- Ensure designs meet safety, performance, and regulatory standards.
- Shape the future of Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) by leading certification for cutting-edge aircraft.
Key Disciplines Covered
The role requirements apply to expertise in the following areas:
- Handling Qualities
- Performance
- Electrical Systems
- Avionics
- Crashworthiness
- High Frequency Fatigue
- Propellers / Rotors
- Flight Control Systems
- Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)
Responsibilities
Core Accountabilities
Within this role, you will be responsible for:
- Acting as a Compliance Verification Engineer (CVE) in your assigned technical discipline.
- Reviewing and approving compliance demonstration evidence, including:
- Analysis results
- Test data
- Technical reports and documentation
- Ensuring adherence to EASA Certification Specifications (CS-23, CS-27, CS-29) and regulatory frameworks.
- Defining and agreeing means of compliance, ensuring alignment with certification standards.
- Evaluating engineering artifacts across the full lifecycle, including:
- Requirements
- Design reviews
- Analysis cases
- Test and validation evidence
- Assessing flight safety documentation (e.g., FHA, PSSA, SSA) to ensure safety objectives are robustly traced.
- Setting and maintaining requirements traceability matrices to validate design flaws.
- Assessing discipline-specific airworthiness criteria (e.g., flight handling, electrical integrity, avionics robustness, structural durability).
- Reviewing certification documentation, CRF reports, and compliance matrices.
- Cross-functional collaboration with:
- Internal engineering teams
- Third-party manufacturers
- External regulatory authorities
- Providing independent expert judgement in technical and certification reviews.
- Supporting risk mitigation and technical queries to resolve compliance issues timeously.
