Principal Airworthiness & Operational Analyst

AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. • Montreal, QC

6d • CA$130,000 - CA$155,000

About The Position

As a Level 4 Principal Airworthiness & Operational Analyst, you will act as a vital technical anchor, owning the execution roadmap for unmanned aircraft regulatory validations and complex operational applications. In this role, you are responsible for securing flight authorizations, waivers, and type concessions for the JC250 platform, focusing primarily on Canadian aviation authorities while establishing baseline alignment with United States and European frameworks. You will merge deep practical knowledge of uncrewed aircraft operations with rigorous regulatory engineering to compile, validate, and present complex safety risk compliance packages, mitigating program risks across multi-disciplinary boundaries.

Requirements

• Direct leadership history steering complex drone operational applications, high-criticality UAS waivers, or advanced aerospace airworthiness verification programs.
• Comprehensive working background with unmanned aircraft system operations, BVLOS fleet constraints, or automated flight management environments.
• Demonstrated history managing official interactions, compliance reporting loops, and formal technical panel presentations alongside civil aviation oversight groups.
• Direct exposure to multi-modal data tracking architectures, vehicle flight manual generation, and system failure mitigation models.
• Excellent cross-disciplinary coordination habits necessary to balance technical, manufacturing, and operational requirements tightly against strict regulatory timelines.
• Ability to read, write, and understand French

Responsibilities

• Lead the definition, compilation, and submittal of complex operational approval frameworks to Canadian civil aviation authorities, securing specific beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) and high-criticality logistics waivers.
• Own the development, verification, and presentation of comprehensive Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) documentation sets to support Specific Assurance and Integrity Level (SAIL) flight parameters.
• Coordinate directly with internal flight controls, avionics, autonomy, and systems safety groups to align detect-and-avoid (DAA) and fault-management capabilities with civil airspace integration goals.
• Evaluate vehicle flight manual limits, ground control workflows, and emergency contingency paths to ensure operational packages match real-world automated fleet constraints.
• Direct formal regulatory technical meetings, coordinate responses to official finding panels, and manage civil airworthiness conformity review logs.
• Provide day-to-day regulatory mentorship and advice to technical discipline leads, ensuring cross-functional engineering configurations remain aligned with international airspace validation tracks.
