Job Description:

JSL Technologies is seeking a Naval Reliability & Sustainment Data Scientist to deliver advanced RAM-C analytics, predictive maintenance modeling, and supportability engineering for U.S. Navy surface combat systems and weapons programs. Operating directly at the Port Hueneme Division (PHD NSWC) government site, you will leverage fleet maintenance data, statistical analysis, and machine learning models to identify system failure trends, optimize readiness metrics (MTBF, MTTR, MLDT), and directly influence naval acquisition and sustainment decisions.

• RAM-C & Fleet Analytics: Extract, clean, and analyze readiness, maintenance, and operational data across Navy platforms using tools like Python, Tableau, and Advana Jupiter.
• Failure Analysis & Predictive Modeling: Identify systemic failure modes and root causes using statistical methods and Machine Learning (ML). Develop predictive models to improve material availability ($A_m$) and operational readiness ($A_o$).
• Reliability Engineering: Develop and update Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs), Fault Tree Analyses (FTAs), FMECAs, Level of Repair Analyses (LORAs), and sparing models.
• Metrics & Reporting: Track key performance indicators—including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and Mean Logistics Delay Time (MLDT)—and deliver weekly/monthly executive dashboards and technical reports.
• Design & Acquisition Support: Participate in system design and engineering reviews to evaluate new technologies and concepts of operation for long-term sustainment impacts.
• Stakeholder Coordination: Collaborate with In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs), OEMs, program sponsors, and fleet maintenance crews to resolve systemic RAM-C deficiencies.
• Data & Issue Tracking: Use Jira and custom workflows to document data engineering pipelines, track issue resolution, and report metrics to Navy leadership.
