Compliance Verification Engineer Certification & Assurance Munich

The role

Act as the formal Software CVE within the approved Design Organization (DOA), serving as the final gatekeeper for flight safety. Provide the personal signature required to check and approve all software-related certification reports and conformity documents. Take full ownership of the software certification lifecycle, ensuring that all internal "ways of working" are audit-proof and compliant. Build and maintain a relationship of trust with authorities as the primary technical point of contact for software aspects of certification.

The day-to-day

• Review and provide independent approval for the PSAC, SAS, and supporting planning documents, ensuring all development and verification strategies are compliant
• Lead and execute all Stages of Involvement (SOI #1–4) to verify process maturity and verification readiness
• Perform deep-dive technical reviews of software requirements and design to verify adherence to approved standards and safety objectives
• Review software verification procedures, witness a sample of software tests on-site or in-house
• Prepare for and lead surveillance audits and technical meetings with certification authorities related to software development and certification
• Perform final conformity reviews to ensure the "as-built" software matches the certified design and formally sign the Declaration of Compliance
