Job Description:

The Senior Specialist, Systems Engineering – Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) serves as an ILS Manager and subject matter expert responsible for planning, developing, and executing integrated logistics and sustainment strategies for one or more complex programs supporting legacy systems, technology refresh efforts, and future system development. This role leads supportability analyses, lifecycle sustainment planning, maintenance concept development, provisioning, and lifecycle cost activities, while working cross-functionally with engineering, program management, supply chain, field support, and customers to ensure supportability requirements are integrated throughout the system lifecycle. The role operates with a high degree of independence and provides technical leadership, customer interface, and actionable recommendations that influence program execution, readiness, affordability, and long-term sustainment outcomes.

Essential Functions:

• Lead the planning, development, and coordination of integrated logistics support elements to ensure program supportability requirements are identified, defined, and implemented throughout the system lifecycle.
• Develop, review, and maintain key logistics and sustainment documentation, including Integrated Logistics Support Plans (ILSP), Life Cycle Sustainment Plans (LCSP), Life Cycle Cost Analyses (LCCA), Level of Repair Analyses (LORA), Provisioning Parts Lists (PPL), Maintenance Task Analyses (MTA), maintenance plans, Support Equipment Recommendation Data (SERD), and related Product Support Analysis (PSA) and Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) deliverables.
• Perform and interpret logistics and supportability analyses, including supportability analysis, provisioning analysis, sparing analysis, repair level analysis, DMSMS assessments, maintenance planning, and sustainment risk assessments, and translate results into program recommendations.
• Define support and maintenance concepts at the organizational, intermediate, and depot levels for electronic systems and equipment.
• Analyze system lifecycle cost drivers and support development of sustainment strategies that improve readiness, affordability, maintainability, and long-term supportability.
• Partner with systems engineering, design engineering, program management, manufacturing, supply chain, training, and customer stakeholders to integrate logistics and sustainment considerations into system design, development, fielding, and sustainment activities.
• Support technical reviews, design reviews, and program reviews by presenting logistics, sustainment, and supportability considerations, risks, and recommended actions.
• Utilize ILS, PSA, and LSA tools, models, and databases to manage logistics data, assess supportability performance, and generate metrics, analyses, and reports for internal and external stakeholders.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship within the ILS discipline and contribute to the continuous improvement of logistics engineering processes, methods, tools, and best practices.
• Support customer engagement activities by communicating sustainment approaches, supportability status, and lifecycle impacts, and by responding to customer logistics requirements and data deliverables.
• Obtain and maintain any required security clearances, statuses, or licenses needed to perform work.
• Travel up to 10% in support of customer meetings, technical interchange meetings, program reviews, and other off-site program activities.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree and a minimum of 6 years of prior relevant systems engineering, logistics engineering, sustainment, or integrated logistics support experience, or graduate degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related experience.  In lieu of a degree, a minimum of 10 years of prior related integrated logistics support, sustainment, or logistics systems engineering experience.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Minimum of 6 years of experience in logistics engineering, sustainment engineering, or integrated logistics support for defense, aerospace, or similarly regulated technical programs.
• Experience performing Product Support Analysis (PSA) and Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) in accordance with GEIA-STD-0007, MIL-STD-1388-2B, or equivalent industry standards.
• Proficiency using LSA, PSA, and logistics data management tools and databases such as Slicwave, EAGLE, Powerlog, or similar applications.
• Experience using supportability and cost analysis tools such as Compass (LORA), CASA (LCCA), and comparable applications.
• Military experience in logistics, with hands‑on involvement in ILS elements such as supply support, maintenance planning, and sustainment operations.
• Demonstrated experience developing lifecycle sustainment documentation and supportability artifacts for complex hardware systems.
• Experience defining and implementing support and maintenance concepts at the organizational, intermediate, and depot levels.
• Experience collaborating across systems engineering, design engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, program management, and customer organizations to influence product support outcomes.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging artificial intelligence tools and techniques to enhance quality, improve decision-making, and increase efficiency across core job functions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate complex logistics and sustainment concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Active security clearance or ability to obtain and maintain required clearance.
