An Engineering Firm Built Around Certification.
Aries Aero Systems, LLC is an FAA and international aircraft certification consultancy and aerospace engineering staffing firm based in West Melbourne, Florida. We help manufacturers, operators, and next-generation aircraft developers move through type certification with clarity, discipline, and direct FAA DER authority.
From DER Expertise to Full-Service Firm
Aries Aero Systems was founded to close a gap our team saw repeatedly on aerospace programs: brilliant engineering that stalled because certification wasn’t built into the plan from day one. We started as FAA Designated Engineering Representative (DER) consulting and have grown into a full-service certification and staffing partner supporting everything from legacy transport aircraft to eVTOL, supersonic, and hypersonic vehicle programs.
Today, Aries Aero Systems operates across two connected practices — certification consulting and aerospace staffing — united by the same standard: work that holds up under FAA and international regulatory scrutiny. As a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certified company, we are also a strong fit for organizations building supplier diversity into their aerospace and defense programs.
How We Work
Technical Integrity
Findings and recommendations are grounded in engineering fact, not schedule pressure. Our reputation with the FAA and our clients depends on it.
Program Fluency
We think in certification basis, means of compliance, and schedule risk — not just discipline checklists — because that's how programs actually succeed.
Partnership, Not Just Deliverables
We embed with your team, communicate early, and flag risk before it becomes a finding you didn't see coming.
