About The Position

This is a public notice flyer notifying interested applicants of anticipated vacancies; applications are not accepted through the flyer, and there may or may not be vacancies filled. The position serves as the technical authority, advisor, and component manager for formulating, designing, developing, testing, and implementing Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (MGSE) for the TRIDENT II D5 Missile System. It supports handling, movement, loading and unloading, and maintenance of D5 Life Extension 2 (D5LE2) Missiles at Strategic Weapons Facilities and other locations where the missiles are managed and maintained. The role coordinates with other government activities to support MGSE interface changes for the D5LE2 Strategic Weapon System and ensure compatibility with other subsystems. It also conducts system analysis to ensure logistics supportability factors are addressed in development and incorporated into MGSE design; manages budgets, contracts, and other funding actions; directs contractor and government program-management efforts; and supports efficient transition from currently deployed D5LE equipment to D5LE2 equipment, leveraging existing equipment where appropriate.
