Description
Leidos is seeking a Product Manager to set the direction for current and future developments of our Air Traffic Management (ATM) systems and platforms, which includes our global SkyLine-X™ product. The Product Manager will report to the Business Area Leader and be responsible for determining the needs of the global market, shaping our ATM product strategy, and overseeing product evolution via internal investment and program execution.

Built on the solutions and services in operations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, the Leidos SkyLine-X™ air traffic management platform contains the ingredients Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) around the world need to address today's challenges.

• Open and Accessible Architecture - We ensure that our solutions do not limit our customer's ability to extend, modify, and invest in the platform by conforming to industry standard interfaces and architectures. Unlike other providers who require membership or offer proprietary interfaces, our approach allows for ease of change when interfacing with a diverse set of users and systems in the ANSP ecosystem.
• Designed for Resiliency - Leveraging proven solutions and architectures that eliminate downtime, the Skyline-X platform increases availability for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) user community, delivering full services during planned service upgrades or unplanned data-based outages.
• Delivering Aviation Efficiency - Leidos is a leader in supporting the aviation community to increase airspace capacity and efficiency while reducing fuel usage. As all participants embrace Trajectory-Based Operations (TBO), Leidos delivers practical solutions to deliver these efficiencies for improved trajectories with SkyLineFlow, a proven time-based metering solution that tactically delivers improved traffic while also increasing collaboration with all participants.
