Logistics Specialist

Logistics Specialist

A Logistics Engineer, with mechanical engineering sensibilities, is responsible for designing and managing the Integrated Logistics Support Plan. This role will analyze and improve logistics strategies, optimize procedures, manage inventories, and maintain logistics-related reports. The ideal candidate should have foundational knowledge in mechanical engineering, strong problem-solving abilities, a knack for data analysis, and a deep understanding of logistics and supply chain procedures. They should also be able to develop innovative solutions to logistical problems and work closely with supply chain managers, warehouse managers, and transportation managers.

Key Responsibilities

Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) & Sustainment

• 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).

Supply Chain and Inventory Management

• 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.

Maintenance Planning and Support

• 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.

Training and Manpower

• 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.

Data and Reporting

• 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).
