If you've led DO-254 verification and want real ownership, not just another task list, this is worth a look.

You'll take the lead on verification for complex airborne electronic hardware. Not just executing, but shaping strategy, owning plans, and driving projects through to certification.

This isn't theory. It's real hardware, real programmes, and real responsibility.

What you'll be doing:

• Leading end-to-end DO-254 verification activities
• Owning verification plans, compliance, and strategy
• Working across systems, hardware, safety, and simulation teams
• Driving certification with customers and authorities
• Supporting development of advanced electronic controller products

What matters:

• Proven DO-254 experience in aerospace hardware
• Background in FPGA, ASIC, PLD or complex electronic systems
• Experience leading verification, not just contributing
• Comfortable working across teams and influencing delivery

Nice to have:

• Model-Based Design experience, Matlab, Simulink, Polarion, LabVIEW, Altium

Why this role:

• Proper technical ownership
• Leadership without losing hands on engineering
• High-profile aerospace projects
• Clear progression as the team grows

You'll need to be eligible for UK security clearance.

If you want to move from "doing the work" to owning the outcome, this is that step.
