Program Summary The Launched Effects Product Office delivers innovative and operationally disruptive uncrewed capabilities for multi-domain operations. We prioritize velocity over bureaucracy, candor over conformity, and rapid, disciplined execution over slow, legacy processes. Logistics is a decisive battlefield enabler - and this position ensures Launched Effects systems are not only groundbreaking but supportable, fieldable, and ready to generate warfighter advantage at the most critical moments

Job Summary Serves as the logistics architect, sustainment strategist, and fielding integrator driving end to end supportability for next generation Launched Effects (LE) systems. The incumbent provides expertise across rapid prototyping, developmental and operational testing, production ramp, fielding, and sustainment, ensuring LE platforms are supportable, certifiable, and ready for operational deployment. We seek a bold, analytically rigorous logistics professional passionate about modern sustainment practices, rapid acquisition, and lifecycle readiness. This is not a position for custodians of legacy processes or paperwork first logistics. It requires a builder willing to challenge slow, legacy sustainment norms, defy bureaucratic inertia, and break through acquisition stovepipes to deliver supportable autonomous systems at operational speed.

Roles and Responsibilities

Materiel Release Authority & System Certification

• Serve as the authoritative focal point for all Materiel Release actions across Launched Effects platforms, ensuring each system meets supportability, safety, cyber, and certification standards required for fielding.
• Lead development, validation, and staffing of Materiel Release packages, including logistics certifications, safety releases, technical publications, training products, maintenance concepts, and supply readiness.
• Identify logistics gaps, risks, and conditional requirements associated with Streamlined (Agile) Materiel Release - closing deficiencies rapidly to sustain program velocity.

Integrated Product Support (IPS) Leadership

• Maintain full lifecycle oversight of plans, budgets, schedules, and logistics strategies for Launched Effects systems from prototype through divestiture.
• Direct and synchronize all twelve IPS elements - supply support, maintenance planning, tech manuals, training systems, support equipment, packaging/handling/storage/transportation, and sustainment analytics.
• Enforce modular, open sustainment approaches that minimize proprietary dependencies and accelerate support integration.

MWO Development & Sustainment Upgrades

• Plan, develop, and manage execution of technical Modification Work Orders (MWOs) affecting LE hardware, payload configurations, airworthiness updates, cyber hardening, or reliability improvements.
• Coordinate with organic depots, arsenals, regional maintenance centers, and contractor logistics support partners to validate modification requirements and ensure upgrades are applied efficiently without impacting operational readiness.

Lifecycle Risk, Readiness & Sustainment Execution

• Monitor sustainment cost curves, maintenance concepts, vendor support plans, and component obsolescence risks across evolving LE baselines.
• Identify supportability vulnerabilities early and hold vendors accountable for rigorous sustainment engineering, timely deliveries, and closure of logistics deficiencies.
• Ensure supportability considerations shape design decisions early rather than emerging as late-stage obstacles.

Rapid Acquisition Logistics Integration

• Develop logistics requirements for Statements of Work (SOW), Performance Work Statements (PWS), and Contract Requirements Packages (CRPs) supporting rapid pathways including OTAs and Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA).
• Prioritize velocity over bureaucracy, embedding agile sustainment planning directly into prototype cycles and vendor engagements. Operational Readiness, Discrepancy Resolution & Fielding Execution
• Lead logistics discrepancy resolution, root cause analysis, and “get well” plans for deficiencies impacting flight testing, operational demonstrations, or fielding timelines.
• Treat sustainment failures as fast cycle learning opportunities that accelerate readiness rather than impede it.
• Coordinate fielding synchronization across units, training enterprises, supply systems, and transport elements.

Key Competencies & Mindset

• Operational Sustainment Urgency: Commitment to enabling rapid fielding of LE capabilities while maintaining rigorous supportability standards.
• Precision & Analytical Depth: Exceptional accuracy in managing logistics certifications, materiel release artifacts, and lifecycle readiness assessments.
• Systems Integrator: Ability to interpret complex engineering, testing, and logistics data to drive decisive sustainment actions.
• Collaborative Disruptor: Courage to challenge slow, outdated sustainment norms while partnering effectively across engineering, test, acquisition, and industry teams.
• Pragmatic Logistics Builder: Skilled at bridging innovative commercial technologies with Army sustainment realities, cyber survivability, transport, and long-term support.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (recommended fields: engineering, or logistics, or computer science, or information systems, or math, or business, or physical science, or other related management, or technical discipline)
• Minimum of 17 years of professional experience in acquisition logistics, aviation maintenance, or comparable military/industrial technical domains. (A candidate may substitute eight years of relevant experience, for a total of 25 years, in lieu of a bachelor’s degree)
• U.S. Citizenship
• Active Secret security clearance required

Preferred Qualifications

• Minimum of 3–5 years of documented experience developing, coordinating, and staffing Materiel Release packages.
• Expert knowledge of Materiel Release processes, MRRB criteria, and sustainment certification gates (Safety, Hazards, Cybersecurity, Technical Manual Verification, Supply Support, Test & Evaluation).
• Advanced understanding of lifecycle logistics principles and regulations including AR 700 142, AR 700 127, and DoD 5000 series guidance.
• Demonstrated ability to prepare decision grade logistics briefings and readiness assessments for senior leaders.
• Strong organizational, analytical, and communication skills.
• Experience with rapid acquisition pathways (OTAs, MTA, CSO).
• Familiarity with open architecture sustainment concepts and modular logistics support models.
• Knowledge of UAS sustainment, attritable systems, or emerging autonomous platforms.
• Experience integrating logistics readiness into prototype testing and accelerated fielding cycles.
