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.

At Peraton, you won't just support the mission - you'll define it.

Join a team dedicated to protecting the safety and integrity of U.S. air travel. Peraton is seeking an Air Traffic Control SME to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in coordinating Surveillance Workstream operational, technical, and procedural activities across multiple air traffic and traffic management facilities. This position serves as the primary interface between air traffic operations, engineering teams, and program management offices, ensuring that surveillance system enhancements, modernization efforts, and operational changes are fully aligned with the needs of the National Airspace System (NAS). The ideal candidate brings a solid background in Air Traffic Control (ATC), or NAS operations, combined with strong communication and coordination skills. This role requires a deep understanding of FAA operational concepts, facility coordination, and the ability to translate complex system requirements into practical, field-ready solutions.

Work Location:

• Remote work is permitted; candidates must reside within the United States.

Your insights help ensure every new capability or infrastructure change directly supports safety, capacity, and operational efficiency across the NAS.
