Description
Amazon Prime Air is seeking a Sr. Systems Development Engineer to serve as our internal DO-178C Designated Engineering Representative (DER) and certification process authority for the Drone Guidance, Navigation & Controls (GNC) software team. This is an individual contributor role with organization-wide impact — you will define the certification strategy, build the DO-178C processes from the ground up, and serve as the primary technical interface with the FAA and DERs for all software certification activities.
This role is uniquely dual-natured: you must be a seasoned software developer with hands-on embedded systems experience and a recognized expert in DO-178C certification processes. You will own the certification lifecycle end-to-end — from establishing the Software Planning and Assurance processes that satisfy SOI-1 through executing and leading SOI-2, SOI-3, SOI-4, and Conformity Audits.
Your impact extends across all Software teams. You will define standards...
