ASRC Federal System Solutions supports the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Airspace System Engineering (NASE) Engineering Support Services (ESS) contract. Join our growing team as a Senior Engineer. National Airway Systems Engineering Group engineers serve as nationally recognized subject matter experts (SMEs) in support of assigned National Airspace System (NAS) facilities, systems, and equipment. The National Airway Systems Engineering Group has a unique organizational responsibility to formally issue changes to operational NAS systems through problem analysis, design, and implementation of hardware, software, adaptation, and technical documentation modifications. These changes result in correction of design flaws, reduction in logistics costs and field workload, new or expanded capabilities, and/or major life extension redesign.

Typical assignments may include, but are not limited to:

• Problem identification, problem analysis, solution determination, resource identification, and cost estimation.
• Solution design, development, integration, and testing.
• Writing technical/management reports.
• Creation, review, and maintenance of technical support documentation and associated directives.
• Providing direct support in response to NAS related problems beyond the assigned repair capability of field personnel.
• Recommending improvements to the design or operation of systems, equipment, or processes.
• Providing subject matter expert (SME) technical support for new system acquisition efforts.
• Accomplishing highly complex and challenging projects/programs and other work activities under the minimal direction of a Technical Manager or more experienced engineer.
• May act as a principal technical specialist or as a project/program manager or team leader for large work activities.
• Will apply experience and comprehensive knowledge of engineering principles, theories, and concepts as well as an understanding of new technologies and methodologies, to solve complex problems and to develop improved technical processes.
• Considers the objectives of the internal and external organizations when developing, integrating and implementing solutions to diverse, complex problems.
• Often supports the FAA as a senior technical point of contact on projects, programs and other work activities.
• Allocates resources to accomplish large work activities within established schedules.
