Airspace Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Airspace and Electronic Warfare (EW) Range Operations Manager (ROM) provides comprehensive planning, coordination, scheduling, and execution support for all range-related activities supporting Stennis operations. Serving as the central integrator for range usage, the ROM coordinates closely with NASA Stennis range authorities, NSW-West range personnel, FAA representatives, military stakeholders, and participating organizations to ensure safe, compliant, and mission-focused execution of training, testing, and exercise events. The ROM is responsible for long-range and near-term scheduling, operational deconfliction, airspace coordination, electromagnetic spectrum management, and continuous improvement of range capabilities and infrastructure. This position specializes in the integration of controlled airspace operations and electronic warfare activities into complex joint training and testing environments. POSITION REQUIREMENTS AND ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Coordinate with NASA Stennis range authorities, NSW-West range personnel, FAA representatives, military organizations, and other stakeholders to reserve, schedule, and deconflict range resources. Develop, maintain, and manage long-range and near-term range schedules aligned with mission priorities and operational requirements. Ensure synchronization and availability of airspace, maritime zones, land training areas, instrumentation systems, communications assets, and supporting infrastructure. Plan, coordinate, and manage activities involving restricted and controlled airspace in support of training, testing, and operational events. Coordinate airspace scheduling and deconfliction with FAA, NASA, DoD, and military airspace authorities to ensure safe and compliant operations. Support flight operations, airborne testing, unmanned aerial systems (UAS) activities, and aviation integration within the range environment.
Ensure airspace usage aligns with range schedules, safety procedures, and mission objectives. Coordinate Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), flight clearances, and operational airspace restrictions as required. Monitor airspace utilization during operations and rapidly resolve scheduling conflicts or operational issues. Coordinate electromagnetic spectrum usage in support of electronic warfare training, testing, and operational activities. Manage frequency allocation deconfliction and electromagnetic interference (EMI) considerations to ensure effective and compliant spectrum operations. Coordinate with technical teams, instrumentation personnel, and EW subject matter experts to ensure proper configuration and operation of EW systems, sensors, emitters, and data collection assets.
Support cyber-electromagnetic activity planning and integration with broader exercise objectives. Ensure compliance with applicable spectrum management regulations, policies, and operational procedures. Coordinate integration of EW activities into multi-domain training and testing events. Conduct and coordinate operational risk assessments for range, airspace, and EW activities. Ensure compliance with all applicable FAA, NASA, DoD, Navy, installation, and range safety regulations and procedures. Coordinate safety reviews, environmental considerations, spectrum approvals, and operational authorizations as required. Coordinate range modernization efforts and capability enhancements related to airspace operations and EW systems. Support after-action reviews (AARs) following exercises, tests, and operational events. Capture lessons learned and develop recommendations to improve future range utilization, airspace coordination, and EW operations. Prepare operational reports, schedules, status updates, risk assessments, and coordination documentation for leadership and stakeholders. Up to 30% of travel is expected for this role, including overnight and out-of-state as required to support operations, customer engagements, or company initiatives. QUALIFICATIONS: Minimum of 5–10 years of experience in range operations, military training coordination, airspace management, electronic warfare operations, or operational scheduling. Experience coordinating complex multi-agency operations involving airspace, spectrum, and range resource management. Knowledge of FAA, DoD, and military airspace coordination procedures and spectrum management processes. Familiarity with electronic warfare systems, electromagnetic spectrum operations, and range instrumentation. Experience supporting training exercises, test and evaluation (T&E) activities, or operational events. Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work effectively in dynamic, high-tempo operational environments. Proficiency with government scheduling systems, operational planning tools, and Microsoft Office Suite. Active Secret security clearance required; Top Secret clearance preferred.
