Overview
Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA's Business, National Airspace, and Technical Computing Services (BNATCS) contract. As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation's skies safe and connected. This is a senior role focused on designing, integrating, and sustaining FAA NAS automation architectures to support modernization and mission continuity of air traffic operations. We are looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world\'s most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration. At Peraton, you\'ll define the mission and contribute to real, lasting impact. Key Responsibilities
Architectural Leadership:
Define, design, and validate architectures for complex, large-scale FAA automation systems, ensuring alignment with enterprise goals, performance needs, and regulatory requirements. Integration and Modernization:
Develop strategies to integrate new technologies and capabilities into existing FAA infrastructures, supporting mission-critical functions such as collection, analysis, production, and dissemination of air traffic data. Mission Continuity:
Safeguard the reliability, availability, and scalability of automation systems that directly impact the National Airspace System. Stakeholder Engagement:
Collaborate with FAA leadership, engineering teams, and contractors to align architectural approaches with program objectives, stakeholder needs, and industry best practices. Technical Analysis:
Conduct cost-benefit analyses and trade studies to determine optimal solutions, leveraging commercial off-the-shelf products, reusable components, and custom designs as needed. Interoperability and Standards Compliance:
Ensure architectures comply with FAA enterprise technical frameworks, security standards, and interoperability requirements across systems and domains. Innovation and Strategy:
Identify emerging technologies, evaluate their potential, and recommend strategies for adoption to strengthen the FAA\'s long-term automation capabilities. Mentorship and Knowledge Transfer:
Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and oversight to engineering teams to ensure architectural consistency and high-quality design outcomes. Executive Communication:
Deliver clear and persuasive insights on architecture tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations to FAA stakeholders and executive leadership. Qualifications
Bachelor\'s degree
in engineering, computer science, or a related field, with a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience). Extensive FAA program experience , with in-depth knowledge of NAS automation architectures such as ERAMS, STARS, ATOP, MEARTS, and/or TFMS. Expertise in designing, evaluating, and integrating large-scale automation system architectures
for mission-critical environments. Proven ability
to lead architecture development across multiple domains, balancing performance, security, scalability, and interoperability. Strong collaboration
with FAA stakeholders, contractors, and engineering teams to align architectural solutions with program and mission objectives. Ability to translate complex technical requirements
into practical, reliable, and future-ready solutions that ensure the integrity and modernization of FAA automation systems. U.S. citizenship
