Is this "US timezones" or "US only"?
Location is "Houston / US" which I read as looking for US residents.

Any tips if I want to apply for the senior software engineering role as part of the re-empower program? it's not really clear if there's a path to apply specifically in that way, or if i should simply state my interest as part of my cover letter. Going through the application process I don't see any indicator for this program.

Not OP, but you might want to, I dunno, run a search on the careers website. That's usually a good place to start.
Just a friendly tip: The market is pretty competitive nowadays and having critical thinking and problem solving skills can give you an advantage over your peers.
I spent like twenty minutes poking around. There's a possibly outdated form with a URL that suggests it's for a 2022 cohort, and there's no way to specify which role specifically someone is interested in. This is at odds with the role specific postings saying they're eligible for the program but there's no place to specify interest in the program outside the cover letter, and it seemed unlikely people are recruiting for the program simply by scanning cover letters that are going to be 99% for traditional job applications.
So it's not clear to me, which is why I asked.
It's further complicated the the program is a Raytheon specific thing, which is apparently the parent company for FlightAware, and the FlightAware website itself says nothing about the program.

Don’t worry about it, fair question and I wouldn’t waste calories on folks who can’t find it to be kind, especially with the job market as rough as it is now.
Good luck, you got this.
Thanks, I appreciate your support <3

If we're going to start throwing guidelines around, how about the one's at the top of the page?

Very cool. I applied. Would absolutely love to apply my skills close to my interests in aviation.
Dropped you a line; hope we can connect and catch up.
