About the role

Poseidon Aerospace seeks a Director of Certification to own the airworthiness strategy for unmanned, runway-independent cargo platforms. You will define regulatory pathways, align engineering, flight test, and operations to create credible evidence and maintain program velocity. You will lead FAA engagements, shape certification plans, translate requirements into engineering tasks, and mentor a growing certification team as the program scales.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
