About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 7 years of experience in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, or integrated logistics support roles within defense or aerospace.
  • Hands-on Logistics Support Analysis experience, including personally building FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data.
  • Experience structuring and managing Logistics Product Data under the S-Series ILS framework (S1000D, S3000L) and GEIA-STD-0007, using standard logistics information systems such as PowerLog-J, COMPASS, SLICwave, EAGLE, or equivalent systems.
  • Python or scripting proficiency sufficient to build data connectors, extend automation, and prototype integrations.
  • Systems-level thinking in data models and architecture, including defining information flow between tools and organizations.
  • Experience with Product Lifecycle Management systems and understanding of sustainment data integration with ERP and configuration management.
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Ability to travel for on-site support, stakeholder engagement, and tool deployment.

Responsibilities

  • Architect the ILS/IPS digital toolchain by designing integrated, automation-first workflows that turn lengthy analyst processes into repeatable processes that run in hours.
  • Define and own the authoritative Logistics Product Data environment, a unified data model connecting FMECA, RCM, MTA, LORA, spares, provisioning, and technical data across programs, and enable it to produce contractual deliverable formats on demand, including GEIA-STD-0007, Power Log-J, MIL-STD-1388, and provisioning documentation.
  • Identify where AI and automation can accelerate sustainment analysis cycles and build those capabilities into the toolchain.
  • Build integrations that automatically propagate bill of materials changes, engineering change orders, and design decisions through sustainment artifacts, replacing manual impact assessments with structured, tool-supported analysis tied to the Logistics Support Analysis database.
  • Define the target-state sustainment toolchain architecture and lead the transition from legacy point tools to an integrated environment, making build, integrate, or replace decisions for each capability.
  • Drive feedback loops between field and depot operational data and sustainment planning models so estimates are refined by operational data.
  • Represent sustainment data architecture in enterprise Product Lifecycle Management and ERP governance and cross-functional digital infrastructure decisions.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Teamcenter is preferred.
  • Demonstrated interest in applying AI or automation to engineering workflows, including experimentation, prototyping, or deployment of AI-assisted analysis tools.
  • Experience with Department of Defense 5000 series acquisition, Contract Data Requirements List management, and contractual deliverable compliance.
  • Systems-level thinking in data models and architecture, including defining information flows between tools and organizations.
  • Familiarity with S1000D technical publication standards and IETM authoring tools such as RapidAuthor or equivalent.
  • Understanding of Readiness-Based Sparing, supply chain data modeling, or provisioning workflows.
  • Prior experience at a defense prime and a vision for improving the pace of digital transformation.
  • Strong communication skills bridging technical sustainment language, software and data architecture concepts, and program management needs.
  • Proven ability to drive change against established legacy approaches in fast-paced environments.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Systems, Mechanical, Industrial, or Aerospace) or Computer Science/Information Systems.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
