Proven experience as a Logistics Engineer or similar role.
Knowledge of logistics systems, practices, and procedures.
Proficient in data analysis and logistics software.
Strong problem-solving, organizational, and decision-making skills.
Excellent communication and presentation abilities.
Understanding of safety regulations and legal guidelines.
Familiarization with Federal Government supply systems.
Understanding of military maintenance levels.
Ability to travel as required.
Standard office environment with occasional requirements to visit client sites, labs, or field environments.

Responsibilities

Develop, implement, and manage the Integrated Logistics Support Plan (ILSP) across the system's lifecycle, from design and development through deployment and sustainment.
Conduct Logistics Support Analysis (LSA), including Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), to optimize system reliability, maintainability, and supportability.
Oversee generation of technical documentation, including maintenance manuals, provisioning data, and logistics technical data packages, ensuring compliance with military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-1388, GEIA-STD-0007).
Establish / lead team in initial provisioning plans, spares lists (SL-3), and repair parts lists for all system components (drones, shelters, power systems, and processing equipment).
Coordinate with procurement and engineering teams to identify long-lead time items and manage the logistics pipeline to prevent operational delays.
Develop and manage the inventory control system for deployed and depot-level assets, focusing on optimal stock levels and minimizing obsolescence risk.
Define and validate the system's Maintenance Concept, including organizational, intermediate, and depot-level maintenance tasks.
Develop Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedules and procedures for all system elements, particularly the complex drone and power generation sub-systems.
Coordinate support equipment (SE) requirements, including special tools and test equipment necessary for field and depot repairs.
Determine Manpower and Personnel (M&P) requirements necessary to operate and maintain the systems.
Define and support the development of logistics and maintenance training programs for end-users and support personnel.
Track and report on key logistics metrics, including Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) data, Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF), and logistics footprint.
Utilize logistics modeling and simulation tools to forecast sustainment costs and recommend system or support architecture changes to improve life cycle cost (LCC).
Designing and implementing supply chain networks to optimize resource use and reduce costs.
Developing logistic plans and strategies to improve the efficiency of operations.
Analyzing data to understand and improve the logistic processes.
Evaluating vendor operations according to quality standards and delivery capacity.
Coordinating and planning warehouse, distribution and transportation operations.
Developing risk management programs to ensure continuity of supply in emergency scenarios.
Collaborating with other departments to integrate logistics with business processes, such as customer sales, order management, accounting, and shipping.
Developing procedures for logistics management to optimize product workflow and minimize cost.
Using software systems for scheduling and tracking shipments.
Ensuring compliance with laws, regulations, and ISO requirements.
