  • Coordinate with FAA stakeholders to support operational and safety risk management activities.

  • Mentor junior specialists and provide technical expertise on safety processes.

  • Drive initiatives to improve testing methodologies and risk management practices.

Why This Role Matters

The NAS is one of the world’s most sophisticated and high-stakes infrastructures. Even minor safety oversights can have nationwide impacts. By maintaining rigorous safety processes, you’ll help ensure that U.S. airspace remains the safest and most efficient in the world.
