Description
SAIC has new opportunities to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Tech Center in Atlantic City, NJ! These positions are 100% onsite and may require some travel to other airports within the United States.

REQUIRED EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor of Science degree in engineering, mathematics, or technical related field and 9 years of relevant engineering/aviation experience, preferably with FAA systems.

• Develop and maintain integration plans that detail the sequencing, timing, and technical steps required for TFDM deployment across NAS facilities.
• Collaborate with FAA stakeholders (e.g., AJM, AJT, AJW, ANG) and contractors to align integration schedules and deliverables with broader NAS modernization efforts.
• Support the design and management of system interfaces between TFDM and other systems such as STARS, ERAM, SWIM, TBFM, and external stakeholders (airlines, airports, surface surveillance systems).
• Ensure compatibility and data integrity across all TFDM interfaces, including the use of FIXM and SWIM-compliant formats.
• Develop integration test plans and participate in system integration testing (SIT), factory acceptance testing (FAT), and site acceptance testing (SAT).
• Identify, isolate, and resolve integration defects across TFDM subsystems and interfacing systems.
• Support the technical aspects of TFDM site implementation activities, including adaptation data validation, system configuration, and equipment compatibility assessments.
• Coordinate with Deployment Leads and Site Implementation Teams to ensure successful system activation at terminal facilities.
• Ensure all integration activities adhere to FAA requirements, including DO-278A software assurance levels, cybersecurity policies, and safety risk management documentation.
• Support updates to the System Requirements Specification (SRS), Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and Site-Specific Implementation Plans (SSIPs).
• Investigate and troubleshoot system integration issues using logs, diagnostic tools, and coordination with software and hardware engineers.
• Conduct root cause analysis for system failures or integration anomalies during lab and live operations.
• Create and maintain integration documentation including network diagrams, interface specifications, integration checklists, and test reports.
• Contribute to the creation of system-level engineering artifacts for configuration management and baseline control.
• Work closely with TFDM software developers, hardware engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and program managers to ensure aligned integration activities.
• Coordinate with external stakeholders such as airport operations, airline partners, and OEMs to ensure real-time surface data exchange and operational readiness.
• Identify and document risks associated with integration activities and propose mitigation strategies.
• Support the TFDM IPT in resolving integration risks and technical dependencies across programs (e.g., TFMS, SWIM, TBFM).
• Recommend enhancements to integration processes, tools, and test automation to improve system deployment efficiency and reliability.
• Stay current with FAA NextGen initiatives and surface management advancements to ensure TFDM evolves in alignment with future technologies.
