About The Position

Position Description: The Senior Maintenance & Data SME is the program's “maintenance guru” — the individual who understands the operational maintenance environment at the senior leader level, the data that drives maintenance decisions, and how to translate raw CAN bus and diagnostic data into actionable maintenance intelligence. This role bridges the gap between the technical data science team and the Marines who turn wrenches. This individual defines the queries, validates the visualizations, and ensures that every dashboard output maps to real-world maintenance actions. Drawing from deep experience in military vehicle maintenance operations at the senior leadership level (analogous to a Production Control Chief or Maintenance Officer function), this individual provides the authoritative maintenance domain expertise for the entire program. This role ensures accountability in the human-data interaction chain and mentors the Jr Maintenance SME & Information Specialist. This position is located onsite in Quantico, VA. Your future duties and responsibilities: Serve as the senior maintenance domain authority for the program, ensuring all analytics outputs are operationally valid and actionable Define and validate the master set of maintenance data queries that drive dashboards and predictive maintenance alerts Translate operational maintenance requirements into data requirements for the AI/ML and visualization teams Develop and refine fault code interpretation guides that link CAN bus diagnostic data to Technical Manual work packages and maintenance actions Review and validate AI/ML model outputs for operational relevance — ensuring predictions map to maintainer-executable actions Develop the programdata decision-making framework including threshold definitions, alert criteria, and escalation protocols Interface with senior Marine Corps maintenance leadership, unit maintenance officers, and SYSCOM stakeholders to validate program capability alignment with operational doctrine Provide maintenance domain expertise for training curriculum development, ensuring FSRs and Marine maintainers understand how to act on program data Support Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) analysis and Condition Based Assessment (CBA) review processes as defined in MCO 4151.22 Advise on data logger placement optimization based on maintenance-critical subsystems across target platforms (MTVR, JLTV, LVSR, MCT, TRAM, Excavator) Mentor and guide the Jr Maintenance Functional SME & Information Specialist in maintenance data interpretation and visualization validation
