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 Cybersecurity Test Engineer to join our team of qualified, diverse individuals. The ideal candidate will design, execute, and document security testing for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In this role, you will support verification, validation, and compliance activities by developing test plans, identifying vulnerabilities, and validating the effectiveness of security controls across FAA systems. 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:
collaborate with engineers, architects, and program teams to ensure FAA systems meet the highest standards of safety, resiliency, and cybersecurity compliance.
Develop and execute test plans, test cases, and test scripts for cybersecurity validation.
Perform penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security control validation.
Support verification and validation (V&V) of FAA system security requirements.
Collaborate with engineers and architects to ensure secure design and implementation.
Conduct functional, regression, and performance testing on cybersecurity features.
Validate compliance with NIST 800-53, RMF, FedRAMP, FISMA, and FAA cybersecurity standards.
Document test results, prepare test reports, and support remediation activities.
Integrate security testing into DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD workflows.
Provide recommendations for improving security posture based on test findings.
Why This Role Matters
The FAA is the cornerstone of aviation safety and innovation. The Cybersecurity Test Engineer plays a vital role in validating that FAA systems are resilient against cyber threats.

Basic Qualifications:
Strong knowledge of NIST RMF and NIST 800-53 security controls.
Strong understanding of public key infrastructure (PKI), encryption, and authentication protocols.
Preferred Qualifications :
Professional certifications such as C EH, OSCP, CISSP, CompTIA PenTest+, or GIAC certifications.
Experience supporting FAA, DOT, DHS, DoD, or other federal cybersecurity programs.
