Engineering Manager
to lead a systems and software team supporting the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Time Based Flow Management (TBFM)
program. TBFM is a critical decision-support system that enables efficient aircraft sequencing by shifting from distance-based spacing to time-based metering. This capability reduces airborne holding, increases airspace capacity, and enables more fuel-efficient continuous descent approaches. As air traffic demand continues to grow nationwide, this system plays a key role in modernizing air traffic operations.
Locations:
Gaithersburg, MD | Eagan, MN | Egg Harbor Township, NJ.
Work Schedule:
Hybrid (3 days onsite / 2 remote)

What You’ll Do
Lead a team of software and systems engineers responsible for the design, development, integration, and verification of Air Traffic Control systems
Own delivery execution, including schedule, risks, defects, and technical milestones, ensuring alignment with FAA program objectives
Drive end-to-end systems integration, ensuring requirements are testable, traceable, and aligned across software and system components
Partner with technical leads to conduct architecture and design reviews (this is a leadership role with technical oversight, not day-to-day coding)
Improve engineering execution by identifying and removing bottlenecks across development, integration, and test workflows
Manage staffing, workload planning, and team performance, including leading geographically distributed teams
Interface directly with FAA stakeholders and internal leadership, providing clear status, risks, and technical recommendations
Oversee development of key engineering artifacts such as requirements verification matrices, integration plans, and test reports
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree with 8+ years of experience (or Master’s with 6+) in software, systems, or related engineering fields
Experience leading engineering teams delivering complex software‑intensive systems
Experience managing schedule, scope, risks, and cost (CAM or similar responsibilities)

Strong communication skills with the ability to interface with technical teams and external customers (FAA or similar stakeholders)
Ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust and approval from the FAA
U.S. Citizenship required
Preferred Qualifications
Experience managing distributed or hybrid teams
Background in Air Traffic Management, aviation systems, or FAA programs
Experience with requirements engineering, verification/validation, and system integration practices
Prior technical experience in Java or C++ environments (ability to engage in architectural discussions and technical decision-making)
Experience introducing process improvements across development and integration workflows
Familiarity with modern engineering practices (e.g., automated testing, CI/CD, or DevSecOps) in regulated environments
Why This Role
Lead a mission‑critical national system impacting air traffic efficiency across the U.S.
Own both people leadership and technical delivery on a high‑visibility FAA program
Work at the intersection of software, systems engineering, and real‑world operational impact
