Contract - 3+ Years

The group designs, builds, and tests systems that improve safety and efficiency in the National Airspace System. The development of these systems often involves extensive software writing, testing, and integration, requiring the services of contingency workers specializing in software development. The Runway Incursion Prevention through Situational Awareness (RIPSA) is an ongoing program with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intended to reduce instances of runway incursions: incidents in which aircraft, vehicles, or people are incorrectly present on a protected part of the airport designated for takeoffs and landings. As part of RIPSA, the Laboratory is adapting, modifying, and extending software created for an earlier program, Runway Status Lights (RWSL). In RWSL, airport surveillance data is used to control red lights embedded in the airport pavement. These lights are activated to warn pilots when it is unsafe to enter or take off from a runway. The software that controls these lights requires adaptation to each new airport it is deployed to. A major element of RIPSA will be to perform this adaptation to a new airport, but also to modify and extend the software to accommodate new surveillance inputs and potentially other changing parameters.

Job Responsibilities:

Develops application software. Writing and implementing efficient code. Researches, designs, develops and implements software applications and systems. Involved in planning of system and development deployment as well as responsible for meeting software compliance standards. Evaluates, designs and implements interface between hardware and software, operational requirements, cloud offering, system architecture, security and characteristics of overall system. Researching, designing, implementing and managing software programs. Identifying areas for modification in existing programs and subsequently developing these modifications. Determining operational practicality. Documents testing, client experience and maintenance of system corrections. May partner and collaborate with cyber security teams to ensure compliance with security standards. May develop and conduct unit tests.
