About The Position

SAIC is seeking a Senior Logistics & Configuration Management Analyst to support programs at NSWC Crane, Indiana, primarily for the MQ-4C Triton and P-8A Poseidon teams. The role performs system fault analysis, life-cycle maintenance analysis, and Integrated Product Support (IPS), while managing hardware and software configuration and data throughout their lifecycles. It combines configuration management and product data responsibilities with logistics and product support analysis, including supply chain optimization, maintenance and supportability analytics, and decision-support tool development. The position is onsite at NSWC Crane and requires up to 10% travel. The analyst maintains formal configuration management processes and controls engineering changes, effectivity, baselines, product data, serialized asset records, and repair documentation. The role also analyzes maintenance, supply, and product support data; applies mathematical and analytical methods to logistics challenges; develops reports and decision-support tools; and supports business intelligence and process-improvement efforts. The analyst works with military personnel, contractors, engineering, logistics, quality, and program management, and represents SAIC with internal and external stakeholders.

Review engineering drawings, bills of materials, specifications, and technical data for configuration-management compliance, metadata accuracy, and traceability.
Manage release, revision control, and obsolescence of drawings and product data.
Coordinate, review, and process Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Requests for Variance (RFVs), waivers, and other change requests.
Verify change documentation for completeness, correctness, and traceability, including technical, cost, schedule, risk, and logistics impacts.
Define and manage change effectivity by serial number, lot, date, or configuration.
Maintain and reconcile as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained configuration baselines and provide configuration status accounting reports.
Lead, support, or participate in Configuration Control Boards and other review boards as required.
Manage product data in iPDM/PLM systems, ensuring documents, models, and bills of materials are stored, linked, versioned, and released correctly.
Support product-data migration, cleanup, and structuring to improve data integrity and usability.
Create and maintain serialized asset records across their lifecycle, including as-built, as-repaired, and as-maintained records.
Develop, maintain, and control repair travelers, routers, and related shop-floor or depot repair documentation.
Ensure repair traveler records reflect configuration changes, nonconformances, rework, and maintenance actions and are available for audits and investigations.
Perform system fault analysis, life-cycle maintenance analysis, and Integrated Product Support for related NSWC Crane systems.
Analyze product support, maintenance, and supply data to identify improvement opportunities in design, documentation, training, and supportability.
Develop strategies to reduce failure rates, improve operational availability, and enhance customer satisfaction with product support.
Ensure execution and continuous improvement of logistics processes across maintenance, supply, transportation, and logistics planning.
Apply mathematical modeling and analytical techniques, such as linear programming, simulation, queuing theory, and reliability or maintainability analysis, to optimize logistics networks, inventory, and resource allocation.
