TL;DR · Senior Sustainment Engineer

The Senior Sustainment Engineer joins the Deployment Engineering team to champion product longevity and operational readiness. This role involves architecting an integrated, automation-first ILS/IPS digital toolchain from the ground up to replace manual processes with repeatable workflows. You will define and own the authoritative Logistics Product Data environment, connecting FMECA, RCM, MTA, LORA, spares, and provisioning data into a unified model. Key responsibilities include building integrations for BOM changes, identifying AI opportunities for sustainment analysis, and leading the transition from legacy point-tools to integrated environments. Required skills include deep experience in Logistics Support Analysis, proficiency in Python or scripting, and familiarity with systems like Teamcenter, PowerLog-J, or COMPASS. You will solve complex lifecycle management problems by ensuring technical data integrity across defense and aerospace programs.

What you'll do

  • Architect an automation-first digital toolchain to streamline ILS/IPS workflows from months to hours.
  • Define and own a unified Logistics Product Data environment connecting FMECA, RCM, MTA, and spares.
  • Identify and build AI and automation capabilities to accelerate sustainment analysis cycles.
  • Build integrations to automatically propagate BOM changes and design decisions through sustainment artifacts.
  • Lead the transition from legacy point-tools to an integrated sustainment toolchain architecture.
  • Drive feedback loops between field operational data and sustainment planning models to refine estimates.
  • Represent sustainment data architecture in enterprise PLM/ERP governance and cross-functional infrastructure decisions.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, or ILS roles within defense or aerospace.
  • Deep practitioner experience personally building FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage Logistics Product Data using S-Series ILS frameworks and standard logistics information systems.
  • Proficiency in Python or scripting to build data connectors and extend automation.
  • Experience with Product Lifecycle Management systems (Teamcenter preferred).
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Systems, Mechanical, Industrial, Aerospace) or Computer Science/Information Systems.
  • Experience with DoD 5000 series acquisition, CDRL management, and contractual deliverable compliance (preferred).
