Leidos is seeking a Release Train Engineer who will be the Build Lead for a dynamic team working on the development of software that improves aircraft runway and terminal congestion.

Nationwide congestion is increasing, and the need for efficient aircraft traffic planning is critical. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) is the surface management solution that will provide NextGen Air Traffic Control capabilities to improve air traffic operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). The Terminal Flight Data Management (TFDM) program is a Federal Aviation Administration NextGen program based on airport surface management that provides efficiencies for both the airport surface and terminal airspace by providing a new and comprehensive integrated surface traffic control and management system.

TFDM functions include: Surface Collaborative Decision making (SCDM), departure scheduler and other airport decision tools, Electronic Flight Data (EFD), Enhanced Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) Traffic Flow Management System (TFMS), replacement or integration of multiple systems in the National Airspace System (NAS). TFDM will share data among controllers, aircraft operators, and airports so they can better stage arrivals and departures and manage traffic flow within terminal airspace for greater efficiency.
