• Must have the ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.
• Hands‑on experience interpreting and executing Maintenance Requirement Cards (MRCs) and Maintenance Index Pages (MIPs) for Information Technology systems.
• Familiarity with SKED (Scheduled Maintenance System) or equivalent Navy maintenance scheduling software.
• Reliability and Failure Analysis.
• Experience performing or supporting Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) or Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) Experience applying structured RCM methodologies in accordance with NAVSEA technical instructions.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze failure data, maintenance history records, and equipment casualty reports to identify trends and recommend corrective actions.
