• Experience in failure investigation, root-cause analysis, FMEA/FMECA and maintenance-data trending using measures such as MTBF, MTTR, recurring failure, downtime, and operational availability.
• Knowledge of maintenance-task analysis, LORA, RCM, spares analysis, technical manuals, drawings and maintenance records, with competence in CMMS/ERP data and analytical tools such as Excel or Power BI.
• Minimum of five years' relevant experience in ILS, Product Support Analysis, reliability, maintainability or MRO engineering, with at least two years in a defence, military vehicle, weapon-system or similarly complex safety-critical environment.
• Strong analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, attention to detail and sound technical judgement.
• Eligible for the security clearance and site-access requirements applicable to Saudi defence facilities.
• Clear written and verbal communication, stakeholder coordination and negotiation skills.
• Able to work independently within multidisciplinary teams, prioritise multiple cases, meet target dates, and work in office, workshop and field environments, including travel to customer or operational sites when required.
