Field Implementation Engineers

Responsibilities Program Overview

This program supports the modernization of FAA facilities and air traffic control systems nationwide. Due to the scope and continued expansion of the effort, there is a strong demand for professional field-based engineers to provide engineering leadership for on-site assessments, system integration planning, and implementation of complex air traffic control systems at operational facilities, including TRACONs, terminals, and laboratory environments.

The field implementation engineer supports the program by conducting on-site assessments of air traffic control systems. This role is responsible for inspecting, inventorying, and documenting hardware, software versions, and system interconnections at operational facilities. The focus is on understanding existing equipment, how it is interconnected, and whether it complies with established connection and power standards. The field implementation engineers would be overseeing installations & configurations that were conducted to ensure it is in line with FAA requirements.

• Perform on-site inspections of air traffic control (ATC) systems and supporting infrastructure
• Oversee and ensure quality assurance of system installations, replacements, configurations, and upgrades
• Integrate hardware and software components into the operational system architecture
• Configure system parameters in accordance with engineering specifications and operational requirements
• Execute system bring-up, checkout, activation, and cutover activities to transition systems into operational use
• Conduct system integration testing and support site acceptance testing
• Troubleshoot system-level issues across hardware, software, network, power, and interface domains
• Verify system compliance with operational, safety, performance, connectivity, and power requirements (e.g., 110-volt grounded circuits)
• Validate connectivity, configuration, and operational status of new and existing equipment
• Inventory and document hardware assets, software versions, system interconnections, physical layouts, and cabling
• Identify and resolve discrepancies between installed systems and engineering or program documentation
• Develop, maintain, and update installation, configuration, test, and integration documentation
• Coordinate with operations, engineering, integration, and program teams to resolve issues and support reporting requirements

• Experience supporting FAA, NAS, air traffic control, radar, or aviation-related systems
• Experience working around live operational systems, including radar or safety-critical infrastructure
• Knowledge of systems engineering methodologies and system integration best practices
• Experience leading or providing engineering oversight for site assessments, installations, or system cutovers
• Familiarity with networking, power, grounding, and infrastructure standards in mission-critical environments
• Experience supporting system integration testing, site acceptance testing, or operational readiness activities
• Ability to provide technical leadership and guidance to field teams and integration personnel
• Active or eligible security clearance, if required by program or contract

• Experience working with hardware, cabling, and networking equipment in field environments
• Experience inspecting, inventorying, and documenting technical equipment
• Ability to verify power, grounding, and physical connectivity requirements
• Familiarity with data center–style or operational facility environments
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate technical documentation
• Experience with hardware and software system configuration
• Ability to perform system checkout, troubleshooting, and validation activities
• Understanding of system integration concepts, interfaces, and dependencies
• Ability to follow and implement engineering specifications and procedures
• Willingness and ability to travel to operational sites (50-75% Travel)
