ABOUT THE ROLE

You define the framework and make it work on live programmes. Much of the job happens in conversation, so you will spend your time with the engineering teams rather than with documents alone. Your closest counterparts are our Configuration Manager, System Safety and the other teams who apply the process every day.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Own ERC's development assurance framework based on ARP4754B and DO-178C
Write and maintain the Development Assurance, Validation, Verification and Process Assurance Plans
Define which artefacts and maturity levels each gate requires, from Concept Design through to Entry Into Service
Assign development assurance levels with System Safety and derive the independence requirements
Build requirements and V&V workflows and keep traceability consistent across levels
Sit with the IPTs to understand how engineers actually work before changing how they work
Guide programmes through gate reviews and process audits, and close the findings

WHAT YOU BRING

Deep, hands-on experience applying ARP4754A/B in aircraft or UAS development programmes
Practical command of DO-178C and how software assurance connects to system level
A track record of defining development processes, not only working within them
Experience assigning development assurance levels and deriving process requirements from them
Confident use of requirements management tooling for cross-level traceability
No hesitation in walking up to people you have not met, asking how they work and getting them on board
A technical degree in aerospace, mechanical or electrical engineering, and fluent English

WHAT WE OFFER

Full-scale aerospace engineering, not concept slides
A 60+ engineer team at Ottobrunn
Real ownership and flat hierarchies: a modern startup culture where your input shapes decisions, not just execution
Flexible working hours, remote work, and competitive compensation
Health & wellbeing: EGYM Wellpass membership and subsidized lunch in our canteen
Office extras: espresso coffee, fresh fruit, and soft drinks, plus regular team and company events, and plenty more once you're on board
