Sustainment Engineer

** Description*
* The Logistics & Sustainment Department is seeking an experienced Sustainment Engineer directly supporting program execution.

The position operates within a matrix environment. Programs retain responsibility for program requirements, priorities, technical direction, cost, and schedule.

** Primary Responsibilities*
* The Sustainment Engineer will:

● Develop, integrate, and continuously improve sustainment engineering processes, methods, templates, tools, and standards.

● Support development of sustainment strategies beginning early in the system lifecycle and continuing through fielding, operations, and sustainment.

● Integrate reliability, maintainability, availability, supportability, maintenance, supply support, technical data, training, facilities, support equipment, and other sustainment considerations into system and program decisions.

● Perform sustainment analyses supporting maintenance concepts, sparing, support equipment, manpower, training, lifecycle cost, readiness, and support strategies.

● Work across engineering, product support, provisioning, technical publications, training, field services, depot operations, program management, and other disciplines to integrate end-to-end logistics.

● Participate in design and technical reviews to ensure sustainment considerations are identified early enough to influence system design and lifecycle decisions.

● Participate in peer review and quality-control practices for sustainment engineering products.

● Support development of contract deliverables and program documentation requiring sustainment engineering input.

● Identify opportunities to use data, digital tools, automation, and analytics to improve sustainment planning and decision-making.

** Minimum

Required Qualifications *
* ● Bachelor's degree in engineering and a minimum of 4 years OR a Master's degree in engineering and a minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience. Additional relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree where permitted by company requirements.

● Demonstrated experience in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, systems engineering, integrated product support, or a closely related discipline.

● Experience supporting complex defense, aerospace, weapons system, or similarly technical programs through development, production, fielding, or sustainment.

● Working knowledge of lifecycle sustainment, maintenance planning, reliability and maintainability, supportability analysis, readiness, and logistics support concepts.

● Ability to communicate technical and sustainment issues clearly to engineering, program, and senior leadership.

● Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, resolve competing requirements, and deliver quality products within established cost and schedule constraints.

● US citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.

** Preferred Qualifications*
* ● Experience supporting Department of Defense acquisition and sustainment programs.

● Experience integrating sustainment requirements during system design and development.

● Experience with reliability, availability, maintainability, lifecycle cost, maintenance task analysis, sparing, or other quantitative sustainment analyses.

● Familiarity with digital engineering, data analytics, enterprise business systems, and visualization tools supporting sustainment decisions.

** Key Outputs*
* The Sustainment Engineer will be expected to:

● Perform Root Cause and Corrective Action investigations on HW failures

● Author Engineering Change Orders and Engineering Change Proposals

● Maintain rigorous configuration control and tracking of fielded assets

● Perform sustainment analysis including but not limited to Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), Operational Availability (Ao)

● Track and manage Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS)

● Develop, Integrate, and Deliver ahead of schedule whenever program conditions allow.

● Increase early integration of sustainment considerations into engineering and program decisions.

● Execute repeatable processes that can be applied and scaled across the department.

● Improve…
