• We prefer experience conducting Product Support Analysis and Logistics Support Analysis in line with recognized industry standards.
• We prefer proficiency with logistics data and supportability tools and databases such as Slicwave, EAGLE, Powerlog, or comparable systems.
• We prefer experience with supportability and cost analysis tools such as Compass and CASA, or similar applications.
• We prefer military logistics experience with direct involvement in supply support, maintenance planning, and sustainment operations.
• We prefer demonstrated experience creating lifecycle sustainment documentation and supportability deliverables for complex hardware systems.
• We prefer experience defining and implementing support and maintenance concepts at the organizational, intermediate, and depot levels.
• We prefer strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex logistics and sustainment topics to technical and non-technical audiences.
• We prefer an active security clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain the required clearance.
• We expect the ability to obtain and maintain any required security clearances, statuses, or licenses.
• We require the ability to travel up to 10% as needed.
