A3 Technology, Inc. is seeking a Data Analyst to support the FAA’s Terminal Flight Data Manager (TFDM) program and its integration with the Flight Data Input/Output (FDIO) system. TFDM is the tower modernization initiative designed to replace legacy, paper-based and stand-alone systems with integrated, digital tools that improve flight data management, surface traffic efficiency, and collaborative decision-making. The program consolidates multiple older systems into a modern, electronic environment. FDIO serves as a critical interface within this ecosystem, enabling controllers and other stakeholders to access real-time flight plan information from ERAM and other core FAA systems. Together, TFDM and FDIO provide more accurate data sharing, improved departure sequencing, and enhanced situational awareness to reduce delays, save fuel, and improve the safety and predictability of air traffic operations.

  • Develop data pipelines and analyze operational datasets.
  • Gather and normalize inputs from TFDM, ERAM, STARS, SWIM, TBFM, and surface surveillance systems, performing trend and root cause analyses, and delivering visualizations and reports to evaluate TFDM system performance and support FAA decision-making.
  • Gather, normalize, and integrate data from multiple sources including TFDM, ERAM, STARS, SWIM, TBFM, and surface surveillance systems (e.g., ASDE-X, ASSC).
  • Develop and maintain data pipelines to support ongoing monitoring, analysis, and reporting.
  • Analyze aircraft surface movement data, runway utilization, pushback times, taxi-out delays, and metering effectiveness to evaluate TFDM system impact.
  • Support FAA stakeholders with analysis of throughput, delay reduction, queue management, and overall efficiency improvements.
  • Analyze data from test events including Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and Operational Readiness Demonstrations (ORD).
  • Provide quantitative assessments and visualizations to validate TFDM performance against baseline metrics and operational expectations.
  • Design and maintain dashboards and visual reporting tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) to present key performance indicators (KPIs) for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Tailor dashboards to support roles such as system engineers, site implementation leads, and FAA program managers.
  • Identify trends, anomalies, and outliers in operational data; perform root cause analysis to uncover system issues or inefficiencies.
  • Generate actionable insights to inform system enhancements, procedural changes, or additional training needs.
  • Validate the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of TFDM-related datasets, identifying and resolving data integrity issues.
  • Collaborate with systems engineers and developers to ensure data logging and telemetry meet analysis requirements.
  • Develop and deliver recurring and ad-hoc reports to TFDM program leadership, FAA stakeholders (e.g., AJM, AJT, AJW), airport authorities, and industry partners.
  • Support responses to data-related inquiries from internal FAA teams and external evaluators.
  • Contribute to the development of models that support predictive surface metering, queue estimation, and traffic flow optimization.
  • Assist in evaluating model performance and recommending improvements based on historical data trends.
  • Work with cross-functional teams including software engineers, integration specialists, and operational SMEs to identify analysis needs and define data requirements.
  • Translate technical requirements into data products that support program goals and decision-making.
  • Ensure data handling complies with FAA data governance policies, privacy requirements, and cybersecurity standards.
  • Maintain proper documentation of methodologies, assumptions, and data sources to ensure transparency and reproducibility.
  • Bachelor's degree in a technical field (engineering, math, physics, chemistry, biology, meteorology/earth sciences, etc.) and 5-10 years relevant experience.
  • Detail oriented, independent, self-motivated, and a proactive team member.
  • US Citizenship or documented proof of eligibility to work in the US is a must.
  • Candidates must undergo a Government investigation and meet eligibility requirements for Government clearance.
  • Verification of past employment, education, and references is also required.
  • Experience with FAA NAS or Mission Support systems.
  • Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO) and Affirmative Action (AA) employer.
