Aerospace Certification & Systems Engineering

Highly experienced certification and systems engineers that work with chief engineers, technical program managers and systems engineers to ensure performance to plan and regulatory compliance, embedded in your program and accountable to your schedule.

Domains

Senior specialists, focused where certification is won or lost.

Certification programs rarely slip on the engineering itself. They slip on plans written late, findings found during test, and documentation that does not match what the regulator expected. Our specialists have led this work from the inside and join your team to close those gaps early.

They bring depth in four domains, and the judgment to know how each applies to your system.

DO-160

Environmental conditions & test procedures

Qualification planning and test procedures for airborne equipment, scoped to the environmental categories your installation requires.

DO-254

Design assurance for airborne electronic hardware

Planning, requirements traceability and verification for complex electronic hardware across design assurance levels.

DO-178

Software considerations in airborne systems

Software life-cycle planning through verification, with the evidence structured for stage-of-involvement reviews.

DER

FAA / EASA delegate support

Designee coordination and showing of compliance documentation prepared so approval is a review, not a negotiation.

Where it applies

Design holders, suppliers and new entrants.

Our team has worked airplane, rotorcraft, and engine certification programs across FAA, EASA, and other civil aviation authorities — including new designs still establishing their basis under special-conditions pathways like FAA 21.17(b) and EASA SC-VTOL. That range matters: a supplier delivering into a design holder needs to speak that organization's process, and a new entrant needs someone who has seen how a mature design holder gets to approval.

Defense and space programs bring their own frameworks, including MIL-STD, airworthiness authorities and mission assurance, and the same discipline carries across.

How we engage

The roles your program needs filled.

One accountable lead or a fully embedded team, the model is the same: senior people, in your program, measured against your plan.

01

Senior engineers

Do the certification engineering directly, from compliance planning through test and the findings that close it out, with the depth your regulator expects.

02

Technical contributors with accountability

Work with other equipment managers or independently to hold the certification plan to schedule by understanding sequencing plans, reviews and test, so findings surface early and milestones hold.

03

Systems engineers

Requirements, traceability and compliance evidence built alongside your engineers. Where your program runs model-based systems engineering, we work in the model and keep the digital thread from requirement to certification evidence intact.

Talk to our team.

Thirty minutes with someone who has done the work. Bring the program, the line or the audit date, and we will tell you plainly whether we are the right fit, and what Capgemini Engineering can add.
