The Opportunity
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is seeking a highly analytical and customer-focused Flight Applications Systems Analyst to join the Information Technology department in a fully remote capacity. This position supports, maintains, and enhances the University’s core flight systems, including Talon ETA/RMS, SplashBI, and related applications and integrations.

Working closely with academic and administrative departments, this role gathers business requirements, analyzes processes, and translates customer needs into effective reports, system enhancements, and sustainable technical solutions.
The successful candidate will demonstrate strong problem-solving, communication, and project coordination skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and deliver responsive customer service.
