  • Contribute to critical research programs at premier facilities such as the William J. Hughes Technical Center, where cutting-edge simulations and testing shape the National Airspace System (NAS).
  • Bridge research and operational application, ensuring innovative solutions are practical, safe, and ready for deployment across the aviation ecosystem.
  • Conduct and guide research and development on technologies supporting the NAS, airport infrastructure, and air traffic management.
  • Lead or contribute to design, testing, and innovation initiatives for next-generation aviation systems.

Why This Role Matters:

The FAA is the cornerstone of aviation safety and innovation. As global air traffic grows and technology evolves, research scientists and advisors are essential to ensuring the United States remains at the forefront of aviation advancements. Your expertise will directly influence the safety of millions of passengers, improve operational efficiency, and guide the adoption of next-generation technologies.
