Develop data pipelines that transform reliability, maintenance, and operational data into actionable cost forecasts.
Maintain Service Bills of Materials (SBOMs) and other critical sustainment artifacts.
Deliver supportability and affordability analyses for customer deliverables, executive reviews, and program assessments.

What You'll Bring Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Logistics, Economics, Finance, or a related discipline.
4+ years of experience in sustainment engineering, product support, systems engineering, or related fields.

Familiarity with Technical Data Packages (TDPs), engineering drawings, and system schematics.
Experience supporting complex military systems, autonomous platforms, robotics, or unmanned systems.
