Description

SAIC has new opportunities to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Tech Center in Atlantic City, NJ! These positions are 100%25 onsite and may require some travel to other airports within the United States. Job Responsibilities may include: Gather, normalize, and integrate data from multiple sources including TFDM, ERAM, STARS, SWIM, TBFM, and surface surveillance systems (e.g., ASDE-X, ASSC). Develop and maintain data pipelines to support ongoing monitoring, analysis, and reporting. Analyze aircraft surface movement data, runway utilization, pushback times, taxi-out delays, and metering effectiveness to evaluate TFDM system impact. Support FAA stakeholders with analysis of throughput, delay reduction, queue management, and overall efficiency improvements. Analyze data from test events including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and Operational Readiness Demonstrations (ORD). Provide quantitative assessments and visualizations to validate TFDM performance against baseline metrics and operational expectations. Design and maintain dashboards and visual reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) to present key performance indicators (KPIs) for internal and external stakeholders. Tailor dashboards to support roles such as system engineers, site implementation leads, and FAA program managers. Identify trends, anomalies, and outliers in operational data; perform root cause analysis to uncover system issues or inefficiencies. Generate actionable insights to inform system enhancements, procedural changes, or additional training needs. Validate the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of TFDM-related datasets, identifying and resolving data integrity issues. Collaborate with systems engineers and developers to ensure data logging and telemetry meet analysis requirements. Develop and deliver recurring and ad-hoc reports to TFDM program leadership, FAA stakeholders (e.g., AJM, AJT, AJW), airport authorities, and industry partners. Support responses to data-related inquiries from internal FAA teams and external evaluators. Contribute to the development of models that support predictive surface metering, queue estimation, and traffic flow optimization. Assist in evaluating model performance and recommending improvements based on historical data trends. Work with cross-functional teams --including software engineers, integration specialists, and operational SMEs --to identify analysis needs and define data requirements. Translate technical requirements into data products that support program goals and decision-making. Ensure data handling complies with FAA data governance policies, privacy requirements, and cybersecurity standards. Maintain proper documentation of methodologies, assumptions, and data sources to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Required Education & Experience: Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or a related technical field and 5+ years of relevant engineering/aviation experience, preferably with FAA systems. Required Clearance: US Citizenship. Ability to obtain and maintain an FAA Public Trust.
