About Ampaire
Ampaire is revolutionizing air travel with hybrid-electric propulsion, pioneering the fastest and most practical path to sustainable aviation. Founded in 2016 and headquartered at the Long Beach Airport, Ampaire has led the industry in real-world hybrid-electric flight innovation since the first flight of its Electric EEL testbed in 2019.
Ampaire's approach is to repower existing aircraft rather than wait for new infrastructure or fuels — slashing fuel consumption by 50-70% and enabling airlines to reduce costs and emissions now. Flights have already spanned Hawaii, Scotland, Canada, Alaska, and beyond. In 2022, Ampaire introduced the world's largest hybrid-electric aircraft, the Eco Caravan, which is advancing through certification and commercialization.
Backed by industry-leading partners and a $5B+ sales pipeline, Ampaire is at an inflection point. This is a once-in-a-century moment for aviation, and the certification work happening now will determine how fast the industry transforms.
The Opportunity
Ampaire is looking for a Senior or Principal Engineer to own systems engineering, requirements management, and direct engagement with the FAA across Part 23 and Part 33 certification programs. The role reports to the CTO and is the primary technical interface with the FAA — managing document submissions, negotiating requirements and means of compliance, and driving verification and validation through the certification process.
This is a high-stakes, high-ownership role at a company working with novel technology in a tightly regulated environment. If you have deep Part 23 certification expertise and want to shape the certification path for hybrid-electric propulsion, this is that role.
