Software Certification Engineer at Regent · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

REGENT is hiring a Software Certification Engineer to hold engineering approval authority for Viceroy's software and airborne electronic hardware (AEH), and to help guide REGENT and its suppliers through a certification process built on RTCA DO-178C but tailored for Seaglider certification with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and a classification society such as Lloyd's Register (LR). You'll review and approve software and AEH compliance artifacts, both REGENT's own and those produced by key suppliers like motor, battery, and actuator vendors, act as an internal software quality assurance auditor, and help facilitate external software process audits from regulators.
This is a hands-on, high-trust role for someone who already has software FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER) experience, or an equivalent, and wants to put it to work on a new, all-electric aircraft program early in its certification life.
Develop and approve compliance artifacts. Help develop and review software and AEH certification data, and approve findings as REGENT's software certification lead on the program.
Liaise with certifying and classification authorities. Serve as a primary point of contact with USCG and Lloyd's Register on software and AEH compliance, with the FAA available in a supporting role to USCG.
Guide certification strategy. Help tailor REGENT's DO-178C-like process for Seaglider certification and establish methods of compliance for software and AEH.
Oversee supplier artifacts. Work with key suppliers, including motor, battery, and actuator vendors, to help them produce software and AEH certification artifacts acceptable to USCG and LR.
Audit internal process adherence. Act as REGENT's internal software quality assurance auditor, confirming the software team follows its defined development and verification processes.
Facilitate external audits. Help prepare for and facilitate software process audits from USCG, LR, and the FAA (under direction of USCG).
Maintain the compliance record. Keep an audit-ready record of findings, methods of compliance, and supporting data, for REGENT and supplier artifacts alike.
Build the practice. Help REGENT establish a durable, in-house software and AEH certification capability as Viceroy scales toward entry into service.
