TL;DR · Senior Sustainment Systems Engineer

The Senior Sustainment Systems Engineer joins the Deployment Engineering team to champion sustainment as a first-class engineering discipline. You will architect the company's ILS/IPS digital toolchain from the ground up, designing automation-first workflows to replace manual processes. Key responsibilities include owning the Logistics Product Data environment, integrating FMECA, RCM, MTA, and LORA data into a unified model to produce contractual deliverables like MIL-STD-1388. You will build integrations for BOM changes, identify AI opportunities for sustainment analysis, and lead the transition from legacy point-tools to integrated environments. Required skills include 7+ years of experience in sustainment or logistics engineering, proficiency in Python, and expertise with S-Series ILS frameworks, PowerLog-J, and Teamcenter. This role solves the technical challenge of ensuring product longevity and operational readiness in defense systems.

What you'll do

  • Architect an automation-first digital toolchain for ILS/IPS to streamline sustainment workflows.
  • Define and own a unified Logistics Product Data environment connecting FMECA, RCM, 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 digital 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 building FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data.
  • Ability to manage Logistics Product Data using S-Series ILS frameworks (S1000D, S3000L) and GEIA-STD-0007.
  • Proficiency in Python or scripting to build data connectors and extend automation.
  • Experience with Product Lifecycle Management systems (Teamcenter preferred).
  • Eligibility 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).
