Program Overview
About The Role
Join Peraton in advancing the safety, efficiency, and modernization of the National Airspace System (NAS) through the FAA's Brand New Air Traffic Control System (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.
We're looking for innovative professionals who thrive in mission-critical environments and are passionate about shaping the future of air traffic management. 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.
At Peraton, you won't just support the mission - you'll define it.
Help shape the future of U.S. airspace safety and efficiency. We are seeking a Alaska Workstream Safety Lead to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. The ideal candidate will lead hazard analysis, risk mitigation, compliance reviews, and assurance activities to ensure that projects deployed in Alaska maintain the highest levels of safety, resilience, and regulatory compliance. This position offers an excellent opportunity to gain in-depth experience in federal contracting while supporting high-visibility aviation programs.
In this position, you will:
Lead safety risk management for Alaska-specific FAA workstreams, identifying, assessing, and mitigating hazards.
Oversee safety analyses (e.g. FMEA, FTA), safety cases, and hazard logs for projects in Alaska.
partner with engineers, local operators, program teams, and FAA leadership to embed safety into every phase-from design through deployment and sustainment.
Integrate safety requirements into system design, modernization, and deployment plans for remote and harsh environments.
Perform safety reviews, audits, inspections, and incident investigations related to Alaska deployments.
Conduct site safety readiness assessments, verifying infrastructure, environmental, and operational constraints.
Collaborate with program engineers, field teams, and contractors to ensure safety compliance in Alaska contexts.
Prepare and maintain safety documentation, risk registers, safety briefings, and audit-ready artifacts.
Monitor and report safety performance metrics and trends; recommend corrective actions to leadership.
Mentor field and regional staff in applying safety standards under Alaska-specific conditions.
Experience preparing safety documentation for audit, certification, or compliance reviews.
Ability to assess the safety implications of environmental effects, power, cabling, infrastructure in Alaska contexts.
Experience investigating incidents, developing corrective action plans, and reporting in distributed or remote settings.
Why This Role Matters
The FAA is the cornerstone of aviation safety and innovation. As the Alaska Workstream Safety Lead, you will ensure that modernization efforts do not compromise safety. Your oversight will protect lives, operations, and infrastructure in communities that often rely exclusively on air access. You'll support efforts like the Don Young Alaska Aviation Safety Initiative (DYAASI), which focuses on aviation safety improvements across Alaska.
