Job Description & How to Apply Below
  • Establish, maintain and enforce the controlled approved design baselines and effectivity rules for the UAS and key certification configurations (including prototypes and test specimens).
  • Maintain baseline and effectivity registers and provide accurate configuration status accounting for internal readiness gates and authority submission packages.
  • Maintain specimen / test-article conformity and configuration indices to ensure certification tests and compliance artefacts can be traced to the correct configuration.
  • Ensure evidence-to-configuration coherence: each compliance document, test plan/report, analysis and submission index must reference the correct baseline and effectivity.
  • Operate change control for certification impact by maintaining change/repair impact-to-compliance linkage (what changes, what requirements affected, what evidence must be updated).
  • Implement and maintain the LODD DOH-required system for controlling and informing personnel of current changes in engineering drawings, specifications and design management procedures.
  • Maintain the DOH-described record keeping system for type design and compliance documentation, ensuring that configuration references and histories remain auditable.
  • Support conformity for certification inspections and tests by ensuring configuration identification, serialisation/effectivity, and documentation packages are correct and current.
  • Exercise authority to place holds on evidence release when configuration/effectivity is ambiguous or when baselines are not properly controlled, and drive corrective actions.
  • Ensure configuration-related record-keeping supports GCAA CAR 21 expectations for maintaining design information/data and Permit-to-Fly/Flight-Conditions supporting documents in an authority-accessible manner.
Qualifications and

Experience:

  • Engineering degree (aerospace/mechanical/electrical/systems) or equivalent aviation technical qualification.
  • Demonstrated experience in configuration management for complex aerospace/aviation products (preferably in a certification, flight test, or regulated engineering environment).
  • Strong working knowledge of baseline/effectivity control, configuration identification and status accounting methods and tools (e.g., Siemens Teamcenter, Siemens Polarion, Microsoft SharePoint, Gitlab).
  • Proven ability to maintain test article configuration indices and enforce configuration discipline for test readiness and certification evidence integrity.
  • Experience implementing change control communication practices (ensuring teams are informed of drawing/specification/procedure changes in a controlled way).
  • Understanding of how configuration interacts with airworthiness compliance evidence, including traceability expectations between configuration baselines and compliance documents.
  • Strong documentation and record-keeping discipline; able to produce audit-ready configuration registers, effectivity statements and controlled histories.
  • Ability to challenge stakeholders and stop/hold releases when configuration integrity is at risk, while driving timely resolution.
  • Strong cross-functional coordination skills with engineering, airworthiness/compliance, flight test, and external partners/suppliers.
  • Desirable: exposure to GCAA CAR 21 or EASA Part 21 design organisation practices and record-keeping expectations (including maintaining design information/data and, where applicable, PtF/Flight-Conditions supporting documentation).
