More about this role
Prime Air is seeking an experienced Senior Certification Engineering Leader to drive airworthiness certification strategy for the MK30 unmanned aircraft system. This role is uniquely positioned at the intersection of engineering execution and regulatory compliance — the ideal candidate approaches certification not as an administrative exercise, but as an engineering problem rooted in system design, architecture, and verification. The focus is on finding compliance within the engineering work already being done, identifying gaps early, and shaping design decisions to satisfy certification requirements efficiently.
A critical dimension of this role is international regulatory engagement. Prime Air operates across multiple countries, each with its own aviation authority, regulatory framework, and certification expectations. This leader will partner closely with regional regulatory teams to understand the nuances of each country's requirements and drive a certification strategy that enables international approvals of the drone system — not by treating each country as a separate program, but by building a compliance foundation that can be adapted and extended across jurisdictions.
