• 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
