Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA’s Brand New Air Traffic Control System (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.
We’re 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 won’t just support the mission — you’ll define it.
Join a team dedicated to protecting the safety and integrity of U.S. air travel. Peraton is seeking an Air Traffic Control / Traffic Management Liaison to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in coordinating operational, technical, and procedural activities across multiple air traffic and traffic management facilities. This position serves as the primary interface between air traffic operations, engineering teams, and program management offices, ensuring that system enhancements, modernization efforts, and operational changes are fully aligned with the needs of the National Airspace System (NAS). The ideal candidate brings a solid background in Air Traffic Control (ATC), Traffic Management Initiatives (TMI), or NAS operations, combined with strong communication and coordination skills. This role requires a deep understanding of FAA operational concepts, facility coordination, and the ability to translate complex system requirements into practical, field-ready solutions.
In this position, you will:
Serve as the liaison between Air Traffic Control (ATC) facilities, Traffic Management Units (TMUs), and FAA program teams.
Provide operational input to the planning, design, and implementation of NAS modernization initiatives.
Evaluate and communicate operational impacts of new technologies, systems upgrades, or procedural changes.
Coordinate site surveys, operational readiness reviews, and field evaluations across FAA facilities.
Support risk assessments, safety reviews, and integration planning for new or modified ATC systems.
Facilitate communication between controllers, engineers, and program management to resolve operational or technical issues.
Participate in simulation and system testing to validate performance under real-world operational scenarios.
Review and provide feedback on airspace procedures, automation system interfaces, and operational workflows.
Prepare and deliver briefings, reports, and operational recommendations to FAA leadership.
Support training and transition planning for new systems or capabilities introduced to field sites.
Why This Role Matters
The FAA’s ability to maintain safe, efficient, and responsive airspace operations depends on seamless coordination between engineering, technology, and traffic management teams. As an ATC/Traffic Management Liaison, you will play a critical role in bridging operational expertise and system development—ensuring that modernization projects enhance, rather than disrupt, air traffic operations. Your insights help ensure every new capability or infrastructure change directly supports safety, capacity, and operational efficiency across the NAS.
