Job Description

About Wing:

Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.

About the Role:

Wing is looking for a UTM Regulatory and Standards Manager to join our Global Aviation Regulatory Team. This role is based remotely in the United States. This role leads UTM regulatory initiatives of moderate to high complexity, driving the execution of Wing’s regulatory strategy for the development, approval, and ongoing compliance of Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) products and capabilities. This includes systems utilized by both internal Wing teams and the broader external drone industry.

Working at the intersection of strategy and tactical execution, you will take ownership of large-scale project planning and translate evolving regulatory and service performance requirements into actionable product requirements and checkout test procedures.

• Work with the product and engineering teams at translating regulatory mandates and service performance requirements into concrete product specifications and checkout test procedures, proactively developing alternative approaches when facing regulatory uncertainty.
• Support the implementation of Wing’s aviation technical standards roadmap; this includes monitoring industry and regulatory trends via technical standards committees to identify risks and analyze key changes, while being able to communicate such issues to key internal stakeholders and partners in Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), industry consensus groups, and external events.
• Get involved in technical standards development to ensure industry consensus standards reflect Wing’s policy, development and safety approaches.
• Apply a test-and-learn mindset to regulatory problem solving, evaluating decisions in the context of Wing's commercial and financial goals.

What You’ll Need:

• 8+ years of experience in Aviation Engineering, or Service Provider / UTM technical compliance implementation.
• 3–5+ years of direct experience working on UAS regulatory topics and interfacing with, or working within, civil aviation authorities (e.g., FAA, EASA, CASA).
• BA/BS degree in engineering or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated knowledge of Service Provider / UTM Regulations (e.g. EASA U-Space regulation, future Part 146).
• Proactive team player with great people skills, the ability to work independently, and to exercise good judgment in a rapidly changing environment.
• Excellent communications skills, both written and verbal.
