- Partner with customers, operations teams, and cross-functional engineering teams to define, implement, and continuously improve effective maintenance and repair strategies

- Ensure the availability of up-to-date maintenance procedures, specialized tools, and accurate technical manuals to support field sustainment operations

- Serve as the primary point of contact for all sustainment-related matters within your assigned product team, proactively identifying and resolving issues

- Collaborate with design and manufacturing engineering teams during new product development phases to integrate best sustainment practices and design-for-supportability concepts early in the process

- Create and maintain a Service Bill of Materials (SBOM) and other critical sustainment artifacts (e.g., provisioning lists, support equipment lists), ensuring they establish a central, up-to-date repository for all sustainment data

Required Qualifications:

- Demonstrated detailed and extensive technical expertise in applying mechanical or systems engineering principles to complex hardware systems

- Hands-on proficiency with professional CAD software and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools for managing engineering data, changes, and configurations

- Foundational understanding and practical application of Integrated Product Support (IPS) elements, principles, and concepts (e.g., maintenance planning, supply support, technical data management, support equipment, training, facilities)

- 5+ years of experience in product support, sustainment engineering, or systems engineering roles within a high-rigor environment (e.g., defense, aerospace, advanced robotics, complex industrial systems)

- Familiarity with military standards, specifications, and regulatory compliance relevant to product support and sustainment activities

- Proven ability to work effectively in dynamic, unstructured environments, adapt to rapidly changing priorities, and quickly learn and master new technologies and complex systems

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to synthesize complex technical and quantitative data into clear, concise decision statements and actionable recommendations for diverse audiences (engineers, operators, customers)

Preferred Qualifications:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Aerospace, or related field)

- Direct experience with sustainment methodologies such as Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA), Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), or developing Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) plans

- Proven track record of developing and delivering key customer-facing sustainment artifacts and contractual deliverables

- Prior hands-on experience with specific enterprise tools such as Siemens NX, Teamcenter (PLM), JIRA, or Oracle (ERP) or equivalent systems

- Direct experience with complex military systems, robotics, unmanned systems, or advanced defense technology products

- Understanding of the use of the Technical Data Package (drawings, parts lists, interface control documents, and electrical schematics)

- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

- Willingness and ability to travel for on-site support, field deployments, and direct customer engagements as required

Benefits:

- Healthcare Benefits: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans at little to no cost to you
