The Sr Logistics & Reliability Systems Engineering candidate will support a number of active programs across the entire MST business area. Tasks require detailed knowledge of US DoD logistics programs and include generation of various Logistics Support Analysis (LSA) and Reliability & Maintainability (R&M) analysis. The Sr Logistics & Reliability Systems Engineer will regularly coordinate with design, system, and software engineers to assure Integrated Product Support (IPS) aka Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) requirements are met.

SNC defines IPS as the unified and iterative approach to the management and technical activities needed to influence operational and materiel requirements and design specifications for logistics support. IPS is the management and technical process through which supportability and logistic support considerations are integrated into the design of a system or equipment and taken into account throughout its life cycle. It is the process by which all elements of logistic support are planned, acquired, tested, and provided in a timely and cost-effective manner. SNC follows the 12 integrated IPS elements per Army Regulation (AR) 700–127 and MIL-HDBK-502A. The 12 IPS Elements include Product Support Management, Facilities and Infrastructure, Computer Resources, Maintenance Planning and Management, Manpower and Personnel, Packaging, Handling, Storage, and Transportation (PHS&T), Supply Support, Support Equipment, Sustaining Engineering, Technical Data Management, Training and Training Support and Design Interface. Furthermore, the Design Interface Element reflects the driving relationship of system design parameters to product support resource requirements to include Reliability and Maintainability (R&M), System Safety, Supportability, and Human System Integration (HSI).

The Senior Logistics Engineer conducts logistics requirements, activities, and processes performed as part of systems engineering concepts in support of Department of Defense 5000.1 Defense Acquisition System programs as well as life-cycle logistics requirements, tasks, and work products typically performed as in support of activities identified in MIL-HDBK-502A, US Army Regulation 700-127, AFMAN23-110 or NAVSUP P-485, etc.
