Peraton is a next-generation national security company that drives missions of consequence spanning the globe and extending to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. As the world's leading mission capability integrator and transformative enterprise IT provider, we deliver trusted, highly differentiated solutions and technologies to protect our nation and allies. We operate at the critical nexus between traditional and nontraditional threats across all domains: land, sea, space, air, and cyberspace. Our employees serve as valued partners to essential government agencies and support every branch of the U.S. armed forces, solving the most daunting challenges our customers face every day.
Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA's Brand New Air Traffic Control System (BNATCS) contract. 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.
As a Systems Test Engineer - SME, you will serve as a technical authority in system validation, driving rigorous, structured testing across complex, integrated hardware and software environments that support FAA operations. This is not routine testing; it is validation at a national scale. Your work will directly impact the safety, reliability, and resilience of systems that millions of travelers depend on every day. You will test the systems that keep America's airspace safe, ensuring advanced aviation technologies perform flawlessly before they are deployed into live operational environments.
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.
FAA modernization demands precision. Systems must perform without compromise in safety-critical environments. As a Senior Systems Test Engineer, you are the final safeguard ensuring that new capabilities are resilient, compliant, and operationally sound before they support live airspace operations. The mission is consequential, the responsibility is real, and the impact is nationwide. Your work will strengthen the safety of the U.S. aviation system and place you at the forefront of mission-driven federal engineering.
