Responsibilities

Perform RAM modeling and analysis to support life cycle assessments and readiness projections for fielded systems
Analyze system performance, failure modes, and maintenance data to validate and refine RAM models
Recommend design or support strategy improvements to increase system availability and reduce life cycle cost
Lead the collection, analysis, and interpretation of performance, maintenance, and environmental data across the product life cycle
Identify trends, drivers of downtime, and systemic issues to inform engineering changes, sustainment strategies, and process improvements
Develop data-driven reports and dashboards for internal stakeholders and customer reviews
Conduct sustainment engineering activities including parts consumption analysis, maintenance trend evaluation, sparing recommendations, and cost-optimized sustainment planning
Develop and contribute to sustainment engineering deliverables
Provide technical input to Integrated Product Support (IPS) planning and logistics support analysis
Implement and lead the obsolescence management program for assigned systems
Support Supply Chain and Program Management with the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) program
Conduct BOM health assessments and track technology refresh plans to ensure long-term system viability.
Identify alternative components, suppliers, or redesign strategies to mitigate obsolescence and supply risk
Utilize GIDEP, industry databases, supplier inputs, and market intelligence to proactively identify and address obsolescence risks
Implement and manage a Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
Analyze failure data, perform root cause analysis, and track corrective actions through closure
Drive reliability growth initiatives and recommend design, process, or support changes that improve system performance and availability
Provide feedback loops into design, manufacturing, and sustainment teams to continually enhance system reliability
Support systems engineering life cycle activities, including configuration management and requirements traceability
Track system modifications, upgrades, ECPs (Engineering Change Proposals), and technology refreshes throughout the life cycle
Review and update Technical Data Packages (TDPs) to ensure consistency with fielded configurations and approved changes
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems engineering, logistics, supply chain, program management) to ensure sustainment considerations are integrated into design and upgrade decisions
