The Role Shape the Future of U.S. Aviation with Peraton Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA's Business, National Airspace, and Technical Computing Services (BNATCS) contract. As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton delivers the mission-critical systems and services that keep our nation's skies safe, resilient, and globally connected.

We're seeking innovative professionals who thrive in high-impact, mission-critical environments and are driven to help modernize one of the world's most complex transportation ecosystems. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of aviation, engineering, and advanced technology-collaborating with leaders across air traffic management, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and enterprise IT. At Peraton, you don't just support the mission-you help define it.
Technical Project Manager - FAA Programs Peraton is seeking an accomplished Technical Project Manager to lead the planning, coordination, and execution of complex engineering and technology initiatives in support of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In this role, you will guide multidisciplinary teams through the full project lifecycle, ensuring technical solutions are delivered on time, within budget, and in alignment with FAA standards and mission objectives.

The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of technical depth and project leadership, with the ability to translate complex system architectures-including global telecommunications and network infrastructures (SD-WAN, MPLS, and enterprise WAN environments)-into executable, results-driven project plans. Exceptional communication, leadership, and analytical skills are essential to drive collaboration across engineering, IT, logistics, vendors, and FAA stakeholders.
What You'll Do
* Lead the end-to-end planning, coordination, and execution of complex technical and engineering projects supporting FAA operations and NAS modernization.

* Manage projects involving global telecommunications networks, including SD-WAN, MPLS, and secure enterprise network architectures supporting mission-critical systems.

* Develop and maintain integrated project schedules, budgets, risk registers, and performance baselines.

* Serve as the primary interface between technical teams, program management, vendors, and FAA stakeholders.

* Coordinate cross-functional collaboration across software, hardware, network, cybersecurity, and systems engineering teams.

* Manage project scope, deliverables, and timelines using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid methodologies.

* Prepare and deliver clear, concise status reports, technical briefings, and milestone reviews to FAA leadership.

* Identify, document, and proactively mitigate technical, operational, and integration risks.

* Ensure compliance with FAA AMS, FAR, cybersecurity, and internal quality standards.

* Oversee configuration management, change control, and technical documentation throughout the project lifecycle.

* Support vendor coordination, contract tracking, and verification of technical deliverables.

* Facilitate requirements definition, test planning, system integration, and operational readiness reviews.

* Drive continuous improvement by promoting best practices, process standardization, and efficiency across engineering programs.

Why This Role Matters The FAA's ability to modernize and operate the National Airspace System depends on the flawless execution of highly technical projects that underpin aviation safety, system reliability, cybersecurity, and global connectivity. As a Technical Project Manager, you play a critical leadership role-aligning diverse technical teams, managing risk early, and ensuring outcomes that directly support national aviation priorities. Your work will help ensure that U.S. air traffic systems remain safe, resilient, and technologically advanced in an increasingly interconnected global aviation environment.
