Role OverviewJoin Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA’s Business, National Airspace, and Technical Computing Services (BNATCS) contract. As a trusted partner to the Federal Aviation Administration, Peraton helps deliver the systems and services that keep our nation’s skies safe and connected.
What You Will Do
Develop and maintain the Configuration Management Plan (CMP), defining CM policies, processes, roles, and tools across the integrated program — encompassing internal teams, subcontractors, and vendor deliverables. Establish and enforce CM standards and procedures for configuration identification, change control, configuration status accounting, and configuration audits.
Why It Might Be a Fit
This is your chance to make an impact on one of the world’s most vital transportation infrastructures, working alongside leaders in aviation, engineering, data science, and systems integration.
Requirements
- US Citizenship
- Ability to obtain and maintain Public Trust Clearance
- 15+ years of experience in configuration management, systems engineering, or software engineering within large-scale programs
- Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering Management, or a related field (or 4 additional years of relevant experience in lieu of degree)
- Demonstrated experience serving as a CM lead within a systems integrator environment, managing configuration across multi-vendor, multi-technology integrated solutions with complex baseline and interface dependencies
- Deep expertise in configuration management principles and standards — EIA-649, MIL-STD-973, CMMI-CM, or equivalent — applied to hardware, software, and system-level configurations
- Proven experience administering Configuration Control Boards (CCBs) and leading cross-system change impact analysis in integrated environments
- Strong command of CM tooling ecosystems — Git-based version control, artifact repositories, change management platforms, and requirements management tools (DOORS, Jira, ServiceNow)
- Hands-on experience integrating CM controls into DevSecOps and CI/CD pipelines, including branching strategies, build traceability, artifact versioning, and deployment gating
- Solid understanding of systems engineering lifecycle processes — requirements management, design, integration, verification, validation, and sustainment — and how CM supports each phase
- Experience conducting functional and physical configuration audits (FCA/PCA) across complex, multi-vendor systems
- Working knowledge of federal frameworks (NIST, FedRAMP, RMF) as they relate to configuration management, change control, and security baseline maintenance
- Experience supporting federal or DoD programs with complex integration and multi-contractor coordination challenges
- Background in mission-critical or safety-critical systems where configuration integrity directly impacts operational reliability and safety
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional coordination across systems engineering, software development, test, cybersecurity, and operations teams
Benefits
- Target Salary Range: $112,000 - $179,000
- Overtime, shift differential, and discretionary bonus
- Equal opportunity employer, including disability and protected veterans, or other characteristics protected by law
