About The Position

Noblis is seeking a Systems Engineer to support FAA telecommunications and information management programs. The role focuses on designing, building, and configuring information displays for Air Traffic Controllers using the Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS), a platform being developed to consolidate five legacy information display systems. E-IDS will provide a common hardware and software platform across more than 400 National Airspace System (NAS) facilities, including En Route, Terminal, Tower, and Offshore domains.

The engineer will develop customized displays by selecting, assigning, and arranging widgets according to operational needs; apply UI/UX principles to create intuitive and functional displays; configure widgets and connect them to appropriate datasets; and ensure accurate presentation of operational information. Strong Air Traffic Control (ATC) domain expertise is essential to translating controller workflows and information requirements into effective display configurations. The role also supports E-IDS implementation and modernization. Remote work is available, subject to change based on Noblis and/or government requirements. Candidates must complete Noblis and FAA suitability background investigation and clearance processes before employment; the process may require in-person appointments. Travel may be required up to 50%.
