Munich · Full time
Our drones do things no regulator has approved before. That makes this role unusual: you're not just filing applications, you're shaping how EU aviation authorities think about a new category of operation. If you want regulatory work where your decisions actually unlock the product, this is it.
What you'll do
- Own operational authorizations country by country: Germany, Norway, Italy, and wherever we deploy next
- Lead product certification for The Nomad: C-class marking, CE, and whatever comes next in the EASA Specific category
- Build direct relationships with EASA, LBA, Luftfartstilsynet, ENAC, and other national authorities
- Develop the SORA risk assessments and technical description yourself
- Translate regulatory constraints into product requirements, and product reality into regulatory arguments that engineers at an authority will actually accept
- Represent Nomadic in EU-level conversations
- Whatever is necessary: if something needs to happen, you do it
What you'll ship in the first 3 months
- Submit the C-class marking application for The Nomad
- File our first SORA for national operational authorization
- Build the regulatory roadmap: which countries we unlock next, in what order, and what it takes to get there
Your qualifications
- Experience with UAS certification or operational authorization, ideally SORA authorship or prior work with a national CAA
- Comfortable reading, writing, and arguing technical regulatory documents
- You can walk into a meeting with an aviation authority and hold your own
- Fluent English (other European languages are a bonus)
- Bonus: prior role at EASA or a national CAA, certification experience at another UAS company, or background in aviation safety engineering
