• Conduct Logistics Support Analysis activities in accordance with S3000L principles and programme requirements
• Support the development and maintenance of maintenance concepts for supported systems and products
• Define and maintain Operator-Level Maintenance (OLM), Intermediate-Level Maintenance (ILM) and Depot-Level Maintenance (DLM) boundaries
• Perform and support Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM) and other supportability analyses
• Develop and maintain Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA)
• Develop and maintain Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) outputs
• Support Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Supportability (RAMS) assessments including MTBF, MTTR and Operational Availability analyses
• Develop maintenance plans and maintenance task requirements to support operational objectives
• Support the identification of support equipment, tooling, facilities and personnel requirements
• Develop supportability requirements for new products and programmes
• Provide maintenance planning and supportability data to Technical Publications, Training, Supply Support and In-Service Support teams
• Support the assessment of engineering changes and design modifications to determine their impact on maintenance concepts and support solutions
• Participate in design reviews to ensure supportability requirements are incorporated throughout product development
• Develop and maintain LSA records, supportability databases and analysis outputs
• Help maintain relationships between engineering data, maintenance requirements, training requirements and provisioning information.

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Defence Technology, Logistics or a related discipline
• 1 to 5 years of experience in Logistics Support Analysis, Supportability Engineering, Maintenance Engineering, Systems Engineering or a related field
• Practical experience with Logistics Support Analysis methodologies and S3000L and S4000P principles
• Understanding of maintenance concept development and maintenance task determination processes
• Knowledge of FMECA, RCM, LORA and other supportability analysis techniques
• Familiarity with reliability and maintainability concepts including MTBF, MTTR and Operational Availability
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Professional proficiency in English

Nice to have

• Experience within aerospace, defense, UAV or other high technology engineering environments
• Practical experience with ASD S-Series specifications, particularly S3000L and S4000P
• Exposure to supportability analysis techniques such as FMECA, RCM, LORA or RAMS assessments
• Experience with LSA databases, supportability tools or structured engineering data management
• Experience contributing to the development or improvement of engineering processes
• Knowledge of maintenance planning and lifecycle support methodologies
• Familiarity with military or aerospace maintenance environments
• Understanding of provisioning, training analysis and technical publications within an Integrated Logistics Support framework

Who You Are
