Peraton Labs is seeking a Principal Technical Architect to support aviation modernization and digital twin initiatives for the BNATCS CTO organization. This senior technical leader will help shape immersive, human-centered, and data-informed approaches to future aviation systems by applying deep expertise in XR, spatial computing, simulation, multi-user virtual environments, aviation application development, and digital twin architecture.
This position will lead concept development, prototyping, technical strategy, stakeholder demonstrations, and solution architecture for immersive aviation modernization efforts. This includes developing XR-enabled digital twin concepts, advising on emerging spatial computing technologies, integrating immersive environments with analytics and operational data, and helping translate complex aviation modernization challenges into clear technical roadmaps and decision-ready demonstrations.
The ideal candidate will bring extensive spatial computing experience, significant immersive software delivery experience, and a demonstrable pedigree in XR, spatial computing, or human-centered technology development through recognized collaborators, mentors, technical communities, publications, patents, or long-term contribution to the field.
