Original job description

Cost Engineer (Sustainment & Lifecycle Cost Modeling) Help Shape the Future of Sustainment Strategy Are you passionate about turning complex operational data into actionable business decisions? We're looking for a Cost Engineer who will play a critical role in defining the long-term affordability, supportability, and sustainment strategy of advanced vehicle systems.In this highly visible role, you'll own the development of life cycle cost models, influence engineering decisions through cost trade studies, and help build the sustainment framework that supports products throughout their operational lifespan. Working alongside engineering, operations, logistics, and customer teams, you'll help ensure our products are designed not only for performance, but also for long-term readiness and cost efficiency.If you enjoy solving complex problems, building analytical models, and driving decisions that impact product success, we want to hear from you.

What You'll Do Own Lifecycle Cost Strategy

Develop and maintain comprehensive lifecycle cost models for vehicle fleets and supporting systems.
Generate operating and support (O&S) cost estimates, refining projections as product designs mature.
Conduct affordability assessments and provide cost insights at key program milestones and decision gates.
Perform sensitivity analyses to identify cost drivers, risks, and optimization opportunities.

Drive Sustainment Planning & Product Support

Perform product support analyses across provisioning, manpower, facilities, support equipment, and logistics.
Develop ground-up sustainment plans that support mission readiness and long-term operational success.
Create spares, provisioning, and support strategies in partnership with Reliability, Availability & Maintainability (RAM) and Maintenance teams.
Define product support architectures and Integrated Product Support (IPS) strategies.

Influence Engineering Decisions

Lead sustainment cost trade studies and provide recommendations that influence product design and maintenance concepts.
Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate design-for-supportability principles throughout product development.
Partner with customers, operations, and technical teams to enhance maintenance, repair, and sustainment approaches.

Build Data-Driven Solutions

Establish cost modeling methodologies and sustainment data repositories.
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.
Experience developing lifecycle cost (LCC) or operating and support (O&S) cost models.
Working knowledge of sustainment methodologies such as:
Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA)
Level of Repair Analysis (LORA)
Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM)
Contractor Logistics Support (CLS)
Understanding of Integrated Product Support (IPS) elements and sustainment planning principles.
Familiarity with military standards and regulatory requirements related to product support and logistics.
Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret Security Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting DoD programs and Integrated Product Support initiatives.
Knowledge of provisioning analysis, sparing optimization, and sustainment planning.
Background in naval, maritime, or defense sustainment environments.
Experience with Performance-Based Logistics (PBL) or sustainment contracting models.
Proficiency with cost modeling tools, data analytics platforms, or scripting/automation solutions.
Experience working with Siemens NX, Teamcenter, ERP systems, or similar engineering platforms.
Familiarity with Technical Data Packages (TDPs), engineering drawings, and system schematics.
Experience supporting complex military systems, autonomous platforms, robotics, or unmanned systems.

Why Join Us? You'll be more than a cost engineer. You'll be a strategic partner helping shape how advanced systems are supported, maintained, and sustained throughout their lifecycle. Your work will directly influence product design, operational readiness, and long-term affordability, making a measurable impact on both our customers and mission success.

Own the data. Influence the design. Drive the strategy.
