You will help execute the transition from older legacy copper (TDM) systems to modern fiber and IP networks across the National Airspace System (NAS), working closely with the key stakeholders including Systems Integration Engineer SME for guidance, technical direction, and collaboration. What You'll Do: Analyze System Architecture: Review and refine requirements documents, preliminary designs, and architecture drawings to identify necessary design updates. * Lead Modernization Initiatives: Deep knowledge and understanding of legacy copper and TDM transport systems is required to apply advanced engineering expertise and direct their transition to fiber based and IP enabled architectures across multi state environments. Command the end-to-end assessment, redesign, and integration of legacy infrastructures to ensure full IP readiness. * Manage Technical Integration: Lead technical integration efforts within FAA National Airspace System (NAS) environments with 5 years of hands-on experience in advanced network protocols, transport infrastructure, and cloud enabled platforms. Troubleshoot complex issues across fiber, IP, and hybrid legacy interfaces and validate end to end system performance to meet FAA reliability, redundancy, and mission critical availability standards. * Execute Technical Cutovers: Direct hands-on circuit turn up, cutover, and integration activities across fiber, IP, and legacy interfaces. Perform end to end testing and validation to ensure full operational readiness within FAA mission critical environments. * Communicate Design Updates: Lead the delivery of clear, actionable briefings to stakeholders and senior leadership on architecture changes, technical risks, and integration impacts. Drive rigorous and transparent technical reporting to ensure informed, timely, and high confidence decision making across FAA mission critical programs. * Manage Technical Risk: Identify, assess, and mitigate technical risks, interdependencies, and operational bottlenecks to maintain NAS continuity, ensure deployment readiness, and uphold FAA standards for safety, reliability, and service availability. At Peraton, you won't just support the mission, you'll help define it. Your expertise will directly contribute to the reliability, resilience, and future evolution of one of the world's most critical transportation systems. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Why make use of an integration platform in today's software developments and infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/758-why-make-use-of-an-integration-platform-in-today-s-software-developments-and-infrastructure) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [IoT: The road to sustainability](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/557-iot-the-road-to-sustainability) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) ## Related Articles - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market)
