Responsibilities

Noblis is seeking Test / Implementation Engineers to support the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Systems and Surveillance Systems directorates, applying an interdisciplinary engineering approach to test and implement hardware, software, data, network, or security solutions that support the National Airspace System (NAS). These engineers support a variety of programmatic and functional elements across automation, communications, navigation, and surveillance portfolios in sustainment or as they progress through the FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) lifecycle.

• Define and execute test and implementation procedures, troubleshoot issues, investigate problems, and develop appropriate solutions.
• Assist in the development of specifications, implementation strategies, and test documentation for engineering systems and equipment.
• Support concept development, trade‑off studies, and system design, including subsystem‑level design of electronic or mechanical devices.
• Devise and execute tests to evaluate, debug, and verify system equipment and components for conformance to specifications.
• Develop and adhere to the Implementation Strategy and Planning Document (ISPD) and Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) to ensure compliance with requirements.
• Conduct Post Implementation Reviews (PIR) following system deployment, generating reports on performance and any exceptions.
• Use modeling and simulation tools to evaluate test results and improve system performance.
• Develop/execute test procedures and document Program Trouble Reports (PTRs) for system failures, anomalies, and requirement violations.
• Set up and configure test environments including server, network, and storage configuration to test a given specification or interface requirements document.
• Network Support – Analyze and optimize network architecture and performance; install and configure network devices such as bridges, routers, switches, and gateways.
• Software Support – Assist in development and implementation of software systems, participate in the full software development lifecycle, and perform requirements analysis and integration testing.
• Data Management Support – Provide assistance in enterprise data management, including data standardization, metadata management, and compliance with national and international standards.
• Cybersecurity Support – Analyze information systems data, develop security documentation, and coordinate information systems security testing efforts.
• Travel to sites for 50–75% nationally.

• Proven experience in implementing and testing complex hardware, software, network, or data systems.
• Strong understanding of system design, development, and testing processes, including experience with the ISPD and TEMP.
• Familiarity with network architecture optimization and the configuration of network devices (e.g., routers, switches, gateways).
• Familiarity with software development and testing, including requirements analysis, system integration, and debugging.
• Familiarity with data management, including metadata management, data standardization, and data architecture.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity principles, security testing, and documentation.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills.
• Successfully pass an FAA background investigation/verification and receive a successful final suitability determination.
• U.S. Citizen or Green Card Permanent Resident who has resided in the U.S. for 3+ years.
• Must be able to travel as required by the project; ability to travel for 50–75% nationally.

• Demonstrated FAA and/or Aviation and Aerospace experience.
• Design and implementation of test automation using products such as Jenkins, Selenium, JUnit, and Ansible.
• Customer‑service and goal oriented.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team; proactive, solution‑oriented, with exceptional time‑management skills.
• FAA experience and knowledge of the FAA’s Systems Engineering Manual (SEM) highly desired.
• Providing current support to FAA ATEPS II (air traffic engineering program support).
• FAA Experience with in the past 12 months.
• Current FAA suitability.
