Description

Leidos is seeking a Lead Software Engineer who will be a member of a dynamic team working on the development / maintenance 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's (FAA) NextGen program based on airport surface management that provides efficiency for both the airport surface and terminal airspace by providing a new and comprehensive integrated surface traffic control and management system. Applicants selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.

  • 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.
  • Stakeholders will have a shared awareness of flights on the ground and in the air, the ability to exchange data electronically, with the goal of a continuous real-time picture of traffic volume and airport resources, making flights more efficient from gate to gate.

Responsibilities :

  • Experience in use of the UNIX and Linux operating systems
  • Ability to travel as business needs require
  • Desired Skills :

  • Experience in Ansible, shell script, Python
  • FAA air traffic domain knowledge
  • The salary range for this position is : $100K to $110K

    Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

    We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."

    For U.S. Positions : While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.
