The RMA Engineer will provide systems engineering and analytical support to aviation ground systems and air traffic control programs. Responsibilities include:
- Develop, analyze, and maintain Reliability, Maintainability and Availability (RMA) requirements and specifications throughout the system lifecycle.
- Perform system-level RMA modeling, analysis, and performance predictions to assess system reliability, availability, maintainability, and operational performance.
- Support system and design reviews, providing RMA assessments and recommendations to identify risks and improve system performance.
- Develop and support test plans, procedures, and evaluations to verify compliance with RMA requirements.
- Perform failure analysis and trending, identify root causes and systemic issues, and support the development and implementation of corrective actions.
- Support reliability growth initiatives by evaluating field performance, failure trends, and corrective-action effectiveness.
- Analyze field maintenance, operational, and maintenance-data-collection information to assess system performance and identify opportunities for reliability and maintainability improvements.
- Develop and evaluate system sustainment scenarios and provide RMA engineering support for lifecycle planning and operational availability assessments.
- Collaborate with systems engineering, hardware, software, maintenance, logistics, test, and program teams to integrate RMA considerations throughout the system lifecycle.
- Provide RMA engineering expertise in support of FAA-sponsored programs within the National Airspace System.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline with 4–8 years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree with 2–6 years of relevant experience.
- Experience applying systems engineering principles and processes throughout the system development lifecycle.
- Experience with requirements development, analysis, documentation, and management.
- Strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to develop clear and concise engineering documentation.
- Ability to analyze technical data, identify trends and issues, and communicate findings and recommendations to engineering and program stakeholders.
- Ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment, collaborating with systems, hardware, software, test, maintenance, and program teams.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Reliability, Maintainability and Availability (RMA) engineering, including one or more of the following: reliability analysis, maintainability analysis, availability modeling, failure analysis, reliability predictions, or lifecycle/sustainment analysis.
- Experience supporting systems subject to government or industry RMA requirements, standards, and engineering processes.
- Experience analyzing field performance, maintenance, failure, or operational data to assess system reliability and identify performance trends.

Traffic Engineer Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a traffic engineer in Maryland?
You become a traffic engineer in Maryland by earning a Bachelor of Science in civil or transportation engineering, passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, accumulating qualifying work experience, and then obtaining a Professional Engineer license through the Maryland State Board of Professional Engineers. Licensure is required for roles involving public safety and signed deliverables. Many Maryland firms also value the Professional Traffic Operations Engineer credential from ITE for candidates focused on operations and signal design.
How much do traffic engineers make in Maryland?
Traffic engineers in Maryland earn a median of about $100,680 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $75,550 for the lowest 10% to over $152,730 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire traffic engineers in Maryland?
Maryland traffic engineer roles are posted by Dewberry, Leidos, and NGV2020 and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Maryland's blend of state DOT projects, federal agency proximity in the D.C. suburbs, and active port infrastructure keeps a broad range of consulting firms and public-sector organizations hiring throughout the year.
Which Maryland cities have the most traffic engineer jobs?
Columbia, Owings Mills, and Laurel lead Maryland for traffic engineer openings right now. Baltimore anchors the market as the state's largest city with major highway, transit, and port-related projects, while the D.C. suburban corridor around Rockville and Bethesda generates steady demand from both federal contractors and county transportation agencies, and Annapolis draws openings tied directly to Maryland State Highway Administration offices.
Are there remote traffic engineer jobs in Maryland?
Yes, but they're rare. About 33% of traffic engineer openings tied to Maryland are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting a role that frequently requires field visits, agency coordination, and site-specific data collection. The portions of the work most suited to remote arrangements are traffic modeling, report writing, and data analysis tasks that can be completed independently from a desk.
How can I get hired as a traffic engineer in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying for a junior transportation engineer or traffic analyst role at one of Maryland's large consulting firms, such as AECOM or Stantec, or pursuing a graduate engineer position within the Maryland State Highway Administration, which runs structured development programs for new graduates. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering exam before applying gives you a measurable edge. Adjacent roles in civil design, GIS analysis, or transportation planning are common lateral entry points that build toward a dedicated traffic engineering position.
