Configuration Analyst

SAIC is seeking a Senior Logistics & Configuration Management Analyst to support programs at NSWC Crane, IN, with primary focus on the MQ‑4C Triton and P‑8A Poseidon teams. The selected candidate will perform system fault analysis, life‑cycle maintenance analysis, and Integrated Product Support (IPS) for major systems while providing end‑to‑end configuration and data management of hardware and software products.

This role combines configuration management (CM) responsibilities—ECP/RFV management, effectivity and baseline control, asset configuration tracking, and IPDM/PLM data management with logistics and product support analysis, including supply chain optimization, maintenance/supportability analytics, and development of decision support tools. The ideal candidate has strong analytical skills, hands‑on CM experience, and a background in logistics/product support within a defense environment.
