MLT Systems (MLT) is seeking a Senior-Level Mechanical or Electrical Engineer to join our team, providing mission-critical engineering services to the Program Manager, Advanced Amphibious Assault (PM AAA). This role focuses on the Production and Deployment (P&D) and Operations and Sustainment (O&S) phases of the Department of War’s (DoW) Acquisition Lifecycle for the Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Family of Vehicles.

Responsibilities

General requirements are as follows:

• The ideal candidate will apply heavy mechanical and/or electrical engineering principles to resolve complex field failures and support the development and implementation of corrective actions, serving as a key technical liaison between fleet maintenance activities, the government Program Management Office (PMO), and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

Specific requirements and tasks may include but are not limited to the following:

• Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Support: Technical lead on investigating and diagnosing mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and structural issues and failures observed on fielded ACVs.
• Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs): Author, evaluate, and review contractor-submitted ECPs, Requests for Change (RFC), and Requests for Variance (RFVs); Ensure systems engineering best practices are followed and design considerations such as weight, reliability, maintainability, and overall readiness return-on-investment.
• Root-Cause & Trend Analysis: Analyze Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDRs) and field telemetry data to identify systemic failure trends.
• Sustainment & Maintenance Optimization: Evaluate vehicle Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RAM) metrics; Collaborate with logistics teams to refine preventative maintenance schedules, overhaul procedures, and diagnostic troubleshooting trees.
• Test Witnessing & Validation: Author test plans and witness physical validation testing on modified components; Evaluate improvements to determine return-on-investment; Participate in Physical Configuration Audits (PCAs).
• Technical Manual (TM) Review: Review, author and validate updates to Technical Manuals, Lubrication Orders, and depot-level repair instructions to ensure technical accuracy for Marine Corps Operators and Mechanics.
• Additive Manufacturing (AM) Integration: Evaluate legacy or hard-to-source mechanical components for AM (3D printing) suitability; Coordinate with technical authorities to qualify printed parts to resolve supply chain bottlenecks.
• Obsolescence: Actively monitor, assess, and resolve Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) cases; Identify alternative suppliers, form-fit-function replacements, or engineering redesign pathways when OEMs exit the market.

Education/Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) discipline.
• 6-8 years of relevant experience, preferably with Department of Defense (DoD)/DoW Major Defense Acquisition Programs and/or military ground vehicles.

Specific/Preferred Requirements

• Active Secret Clearance preferred. Ability to obtain Secret Clearance required.
• In-depth understanding of heavy multi-axle wheeled vehicles (8x8 architectures highly preferred), including diesel powertrains, complex drivetrains, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems.
• Direct familiarity with DoD 5000 series lifecycle acquisition and logistics, specifically systems engineering and configuration management activities associated with the P&D and O&S phases.
• Familiarity with military standards governing engineering and sustainment deliverables, to include Military Standard (MIL-STD)-31000 (Technical Data Packages), MIL-STD-882 (System Safety), Government Electronics & Information Technology Association (GEIA)-0007 and GEIA-0009.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting complex engineering drawings, 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) models (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks), Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), and hydraulic/pneumatic schematics.
• Preferred: Prior experience as a defense contractor supporting Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) or Program Executive Office (PEO) Land Systems.
• Preferred: Specific experience with the ACV, tactical wheeled vehicles, combat vehicles, and/or vehicle armor/survivability structures.
• Preferred: Experience with USMC databases, such as Global Combat Support System - Marine Corps (GCSS-MC), CATALYST, and Web Federal Logistics Information Systems (WEBFLIS).

Physical Demands

This position requires the ability to sit, stand, walk, speak and hear, and to use hands and arms for routine work tasks. The employee may occasionally lift or move items up to 30 pounds. Vision abilities required include close and distance vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus, with or without corrective lenses.

Job may require you to travel up to 10% of the time.
