About The Role

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.

In this position, you will:

  • Collaborate with leading experts in government, academia, and industry to address some of the most complex challenges in modern aviation.
  • Contribute to critical research programs at premier facilities such as the William J. Hughes Technical Center, where cutting-edge simulations and testing shape the National Airspace System (NAS).
  • Bridge research and operational application, ensuring innovative solutions are practical, safe, and ready for deployment across the aviation ecosystem.
  • Conduct and guide research and development on technologies supporting the NAS, airport infrastructure, and air traffic management.
  • Lead or contribute to design, testing, and innovation initiatives for next-generation aviation systems.

Why This Role Matters:

The FAA is the cornerstone of aviation safety and innovation. As global air traffic grows and technology evolves, research scientists and advisors are essential to ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of aviation advancements. Your expertise will directly influence the safety of millions of passengers, improve operational efficiency, and guide the adoption of next-generation technologies.
