About the role

Senior role focused on architecting and implementing an integrated sustainment toolchain and data architecture to support lifecycle management, with emphasis on AI/automation, data integrity, and transition from legacy tools within defense/aerospace context.

Responsibilities

  • Architect Anduril's ILS/IPS digital toolchain from the ground up - designing integrated, automation-first workflows that collapse what traditionally takes teams of analysts months into repeatable processes that run in hours
  • Define and own the authoritative Logistics Product Data (LPD) environment - a unified data model connecting FMECA, RCM, MTA, LORA, spares, provisioning, and technical data across programs. This single source of truth produces any contractual deliverable format on demand (GEIA-STD-0007, Power Log-J, MIL-STD-1388, provisioning documentation)
  • Identify where AI and automation can accelerate sustainment analysis cycles, and build those capabilities into the toolchain
  • Build integrations that propagate BOM changes, ECOs, and design decisions through sustainment artifacts automatically - replacing manual impact assessments with structured, tool-supported analysis tied to the LSA database
  • Define the target-state sustainment toolchain architecture and lead the transition from legacy point-tools to an integrated environment - making build vs. integrate vs. replace decisions for each capability
  • Drive feedback loops between field/depot operational data and sustainment planning models, ensuring estimates are continuously refined by reality rather than static assumptions
  • Represent sustainment data architecture in enterprise PLM/ERP governance and cross-functional digital infrastructure decisions

Qualifications

  • 7+ years in sustainment engineering, logistics engineering, or ILS roles within defense or aerospace
  • Deep practitioner experience in Logistics Support Analysis - has personally built FMECA, RCM, LORA, maintenance task analysis, or provisioning data
  • Demonstrated ability to structure and manage Logistics Product Data in accordance with the S-Series ILS framework (S1000D, S3000L) and GEIA-STD-0007, using standard logistics information systems (PowerLog-J, COMPASS, SLICwave, EAGLE, or equivalents)
  • Python or scripting proficiency - able to build data connectors, extend automation, and prototype integrations
  • Systems-level thinking in data models and architecture - can define how information flows between tools and organizations
  • Experience with Product Lifecycle Management systems (Teamcenter preferred) and understanding of how sustainment data integrates with ERP and configuration management
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
  • Ability to travel for on-site support, stakeholder engagement, and tool deployment
