Since 2010, we have built high-performing teams and disciplined delivery systems that help federal agencies launch complex programs, sustain performance, and achieve meaningful mission outcomes.\n Position Summary:\n@Orchard LLC is seeking a Logistics Analyst to support NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER), helping ensure that the specialized equipment and systems required for ocean exploration are ready when and where they are needed. The Logistics Analyst will support the lifecycle management, acquisition coordination, transportation, and operational transition of scientific equipment, sensors, and integrated systems supporting NOAA’s Ocean Exploration missions.\nThe ideal candidate brings a strong understanding of maritime operations, technical systems, and mission readiness. The Logistics Analyst will evaluate equipment readiness, identify logistical and operational risks, coordinate across technical and operational stakeholders, and help prevent equipment issues from disrupting scientific missions.\nThis position is contingent upon contract award.\nMission Impact:\nNOAA Ocean Exploration advances knowledge of the deep ocean and other underexplored marine environments. Expeditions depend on complex scientific instruments and integrated systems that must operate reliably in demanding conditions.\nThe Logistics Analyst will help protect that mission capability by anticipating equipment needs, coordinating transitions between vessels, maintaining lifecycle and reliability information, and identifying problems before they affect expedition readiness. The goal is not merely to move equipment or complete transactions-it is to ensure that the equipment and systems supporting ocean exploration are operationally ready when the mission requires them.\n Key Responsibilities:\nManage equipment lifecycles from acquisition through deployment, maintenance, repair, transfer, replacement, and final disposition.\nCoordinate ship-to-ship equipment transitions between Ships, supporting expedition readiness.\nAssess equipment and laboratory requirements to ensure sensors, systems, and supporting components meet the operational needs of each expedition.\nCoordinate equipment transportation and logistics, including accessories, mounting hardware, spare parts, software, technical documentation, and configuration information.\nSupport acquisition planning by preparing procurement documentation, evaluating equipment specifications and availability, and assisting with acquisition packages, excluding creation of requisitions.\nMonitor equipment reliability and performance, tracking reliability, maintainability, availability (RMA), mean time between failures (MTBF), and mean time to repair (MTTR).\nEvaluate maintenance and supportability needs, including scheduled, preventive, corrective, and emergency maintenance, repair options, and spare-parts availability.\nConduct logistics and risk analyses to identify supply-chain, operational, storage, maintenance, and transition risks and recommend mitigation strategies.\nSupport installation and operational validation by coordinating integration testing, calibration verification, and readiness checks following equipment transfers or reinstallation.\nMaintain accurate lifecycle records covering equipment inventory, configuration, maintenance history, repairs, deployment history, and performance issues.\nCoordinate across technical and operational teams, including scientists, engineers, logistics personnel, expedition planners, vessel operators, and program leadership.\nIdentify and communicate emerging readiness concerns early, document transition decisions and lessons learned, and support timely, risk-informed decisions regarding equipment repair, replacement, transfer, or retirement\nRequirements\nBachelor’s degree in engineering, marine science, logistics, operations management, supply-chain management, or a related technical discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant operational experience.\nDemonstrated experience in logistics coordination, equipment lifecycle management, technical operations, maintenance planning, maritime operations, or a related field.\nExperience coordinating complex equipment, systems, or technical assets across multiple teams, facilities, vessels, or operational environments.\nAbility to evaluate operational requirements, identify logistical constraints, assess risk, and develop practical recommendations.\nStrong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent actions, dependencies, deadlines, and stakeholder requirements.\nAbility to interpret technical specifications, equipment records, maintenance documentation, and operational requirements.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate technical and logistical issues clearly to both technical personnel and leadership.\nProficiency with standard office productivity tools, spreadsheets, and tracking or reporting systems.\nAbility to work collaboratively with Government customers, technical personnel, and maritime operations stakeholders.\n Preferred Qualifications:\nPrior service as a NOAA Corps officer, or experience as an officer or operational leader in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, or another maritime organization.\nExperience at the Lieutenant (O-3), Lieutenant Commander (O-4), or higher level in the NOAA Corps or comparable maritime service, with relevant operational responsibilities.\nExperience supporting NOAA vessels, oceanographic research ships, expeditionary operations, scientific laboratories, or marine technology programs.\nFamiliarity with scientific sensors, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), oceanographic instruments, shipboard laboratories, or integrated technical systems.\nExperience coordinating shipboard equipment transfers, vessel transitions, system installations, configuration changes, or operational readiness activities.\nExperience with reliability, maintainability, and availability analysis, including MTBF and MTTR metrics.\nExperience with acquisition documentation, supply-chain analysis, equipment supportability, maintenance logistics, or lifecycle cost comparisons.\nExperience identifying and mitigating risks associated with equipment availability, technical integration, supply-chain constraints, and operational schedules.\nFamiliarity with federal acquisition processes, Government property procedures, technical documentation, or federal agency operations.\nCompensation: The anticipated salary range for this position depends on the candidate’s qualifications, and relevant project management experience.\n What We Offer:\nCompetitive base salary with opportunities for advancement, career growth and professional development, work-life balance, comprehensive benefits including health, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), generous PTO, and paid federal holidays.\nIf you are a motivated and collaborative scientist with a passion for ocean mapping through exploration, we encourage you to apply and help expand our understanding of Earth's least explored environments!\n@Orchard is an equal opportunity employer. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply, regardless of race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.\nTo learn more about our other exciting opportunities, visit our Jobs Page at www.atorchard.com.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7558,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Logistics","Professional Services","Military Logistics","Human Resources"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T17:23:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":93,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-27T05:46:45Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/orchard-llc-logistics-analyst","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/orchard-llc-logistics-analyst.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T00:59:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1179,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4420891},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4420891"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forchard-llc-logistics-analyst"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Forchard-llc-logistics-analyst"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Forchard-llc-logistics-analyst"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/orchard-llc-logistics-analyst\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forchard-llc-logistics-analyst"}]}
