Compliance Verification Engineers

Overview

Expleo is a trusted partner for end-to-end, integrated engineering, quality services and management consulting for digital transformation. We help businesses harness unrelenting technological change to successfully deliver innovations that will help them gain a competitive advantage and improve the everyday lives of people around the globe.

As part of our continued growth in Aerospace Design and Certification, we are seeking multiple Certification Verification Engineers (CVEs) to support the certification of next-generation electric rotorcraft (eVTOL) platforms.

We are recruiting across a range of disciplines, including:

• Handling Qualities
• Performance
• Electrical Systems
• Avionics
• Crash worthiness High Frequency Fatigue
• Propellers / Rotors
• Flight Control Systems
• Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA)

These roles are critical in demonstrating compliance with EASA Certification Specifications (CS-23/CS-27/CS-29) through independent verification and approval of engineering evidence. You will act as a key technical authority in your discipline, ensuring that designs meet safety, performance, and regulatory requirements.

This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in the certification of innovative electric aircraft, working at the forefront of aerospace development.

This role is Hybrid working in Bristol.
