Field Implementation Engineers

Noblis•Atlantic City, NJ

23h•Onsite

About The Position

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.

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

Nice To Haves

Experience with air traffic control or other mission-critical operational systems

Ability to support engineering teams through site surveys, pre-installation, and cutover activities
Experience with system integration testing, site acceptance testing, and troubleshooting complex hardware, software, and network interfaces
Familiarity with configuration management, change control, and working in safety-critical or regulated environments

Responsibilities

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
