  • Collaborate with FAA stakeholders, contractors, and engineering teams to align with mission objectives.
  • Develop and submit concise technical reports and status reports throughout each phase of the project (site survey, pre-install & parts - received at site, installation, and finally, testing and acceptance).
  • Provide immediate notification to higher Peraton authority of significant concerns (Risk, Issues, Opportunity) along with their potential impacts to the schedule.
  • Oversees site and vendor technicians, have situational awareness of past and upcoming equipment installation schedules, and ensure compliance with FAA mandates.
  • Upon completion of installation and acceptance tests, continue to monitor updated systems and communicate with site technicians and vendors to ensure optimization of all ATC systems through calibrations, alignments, and additional testing required. All efforts result in updated radar systems that provide optimal detection capabilities and increased data accuracy.

Qualifications

  • Capable of critical thinking, following processes and procedures.
  • Travel 75% (expected travel is 1 month on and 2 weeks remote rotation).
  • Solid communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Capable of assessing a large amount of pertinent data and producing detailed technical reports at a consumable level under time limitations.
  • Provide clear and effective communications to all parties.
