Responsibilities
Peraton is hiring Lead Associate Digital Architecture & Modeling Engineers to help modernize the FAA's National Airspace System (NAS) under the BNATCS program. This role unifies Enterprise Architecture, Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), and Modeling, Analysis & Simulation (MA&S) into a single model-centric discipline.
You'll contribute to the Digital Engineering Environment (DEE) an authoritative model that ties mission needs, operational concepts, requirements, capabilities, systems, interfaces, infrastructure, and verification evidence together. Architecture views, CONOPS content, interface descriptions, and analyses are generated from the model rather than authored as separate documents.
This is a growth-oriented position. You'll model in Cameo / MagicDraw using SysML and UAF, run analysis against the model, and translate results for FAA leadership, program offices, and engineers — under the mentorship of senior architects.
Key Responsibilities
- Contribute to the Digital Engineering Environment (DEE), modeling current-, transition-, and target-state NAS architectures.
- Apply UAF, SysML, DoDAF, and MBSE practices in Cameo / MagicDraw and Teamwork Cloud to model capabilities, systems, services, interfaces, information exchanges, and infrastructure.
- Support model-based CONOPS, mission threads, and operational scenarios as authoritative model elements.
- Generate DoDAF / UAF views, interface descriptions, matrices, and reports from the model using standardized queries and templates.
- Perform architecture analysis to identify dependencies, gaps, interface conflicts, integration risks, and mission impacts.
- Support model-based trade studies and analyses of alternatives.
- Contribute to reusable model libraries, modeling conventions, and model governance (baselines, version control, validation rules, quality checks).
- Support integration with requirements-management tooling (e.g., Jama Connect or DOORS) to maintain traceability from needs → architecture → verification.
- Support Architecture Review Boards with model-based evidence.
- Produce technical writing, documentation, and records deliverables generated from or aligned to the model.
- Collaborate across cybersecurity, software, cloud, telecom, data, test, CM, safety, and program teams.
- Translate model-derived analysis into clear mission and business impacts for technical and executive audiences.
- Publish model content through Cameo Collaborator, the DEE Digital Command Center, dashboards, and reports.
- Apply AI-assisted engineering techniques where appropriate, with human oversight.
