Unmanned Traffic Management FSR

About the role

The UTM FSR will support UTM operations and low-altitude airspace management at MacDill Air Force Base (AFB), FL. The role involves providing on-site technical expertise to ensure the effective operation, integration, and sustainment of UTM systems.

Responsibilities

• Install, configure, operate, and maintain UTM systems and supporting infrastructure at MacDill AFB
• Monitor system performance and troubleshoot hardware, software, and network issues to ensure continuous operational availability
• Support integration of UTM platforms with external airspace services (e.g., flight authorization systems, Remote ID, weather, and airspace data feeds)
• Assist with real-time airspace coordination, including deconfliction of cooperative UAS operations and dynamic airspace management
• Cook with government personnel, airspace managers, and UAS operators to ensure safe and compliant flight operations
• Provide technical reach-back support and interface with engineering teams for issue resolution, system updates, and capability enhancements
• Develop, maintain, and update system documentation, configuration baselines, and operational logs
• Deliver user training and assist in the development and refinement of standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Support integration and coordination with air domain awareness and C-UAS systems, as required

Requirements

• Experience with UAS and Counter-UAS systems
• 3–7 years’ experience in flight test engineering, UAS testing, or aerospace system validation
• Strong experience with data analysis, data correlation, and visualization tools
• Ability to translate complex data into actionable insights
• Experience with technical documentation and test reporting

Qualifications

• Experience with UTM platforms, UAS Service Suppliers (USS), or digital airspace management systems
• Familiarity with integration of UTM with air domain awareness and C-UAS systems
• Knowledge of RF systems, sensors, or aviation surveillance technologies
• Experience supporting DoD, USAF, or installation-level operations
• FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certification
• Experience with system documentation, configuration management, and version control processes
• Exposure to MBSE or Digital Engineering environments

Skills

• Knowledge of low-altitude airspace management concepts and UTM architectures
• Ability to analyze system performance and diagnose technical issues in real time
• Strong problem-solving skills in dynamic, mission-critical environments
• Effective interpersonal and communication skills for coordination across diverse stakeholders
• Attention to detail in system configuration, documentation, and operational execution
