Job description

  • Establish a process for strategic deconfliction in collaboration with internal and external aviation stakeholders for a new FAA Traffic Flow Management Evolution Program for a potential "24/7" operation
  • Work 40 hours a week but potentially work late night shifts and weekends at times to cover overnight and weekend data modeling needs
  • Collect historical data, observe network of applicable systems in action, and interview stakeholders to understand operational bottlenecks and business process inefficiencies
  • Using programming languages, along with specialized software, to potentially build quantitative models to simulate various scenarios
  • Help determine the most efficient and ideal best course of action (e.g., build data models that translate to lower fuel burden, less aircraft downtime, shorter block times, and faster flights) given a strict set of real-world constraints
  • Document the FAA process, roles, and responsibilities to enable execution of strategic deconfliction process plan for day of operations in the National Airspace System (NAS)
    Work with FAA and industry vendor(s) who will architect and build the analytical data model and provide feedback as necessary
  • Collaborate with FAA stakeholders and external industry partners (as needed) to obtain necessary data to operate logistically optimized model
  • Enter data into analytical models (long range and same day planning) to develop strategic deconfliction plans
  • As needed, support the training of FAA staff on process execution related to newly designed traffic flow management program 
  • Document all lessons learned and FAA process improvement opportunities for evolution of strategic deconfliction processes/capability
  • Apply knowledge in the domain of operations research to optimize NAS strategic deconfliction plan
  • Define post event analysis criteria and data expectations
  • Document recommended process improvement opportunities
  • Provide expertise in the design, development, implementation, and analysis of technical FAA products and systems

The successful candidate will have:

  • Have deep expertise in data collection and modeling in support of the federal government and preferably in support of FAA mission
  • Deep analytical thinking, strong programming skills, and the ability to translate highly technical data into actionable, strategic recommendations for non-technical stakeholders
  • Have some background in air traffic management and airport operations including FAA traffic flow management practices
  • Possess broad knowledge of operations research procedures, methodologies, and can provide technical expertise in the application of state-of-the-art technology to meet FAA mission and aerospace requirements
  • Flexible work schedule that may require working at FAA in-person and cover nights, weekends and even some holidays during the year as this is in support of a national and highly visible FAA project
  • Potentially be on call to cover shifts when anticipated higher days of operations or team members are unavailable/on scheduled vacation
  • Must have at least 10 years of professional years of experience supporting projects as an Operations Research Analyst but preferably in support of the FAA/NASA or at least the federal government
  • Must have a Bachelor of Science Degree in engineering (e.g. Engineering, Operations Research, Statistics, Computer Science, Mathematics) or related field

Salary: $120,000 to $130,000 annually. Compensation is based on relevant experience and qualifications.
