What You’ll Do

V2X Engineering Solutions is seeking a Life Cycle Engineer III to join our team. The Life Cycle Engineer III will perform life cycle analysis within a team in support of the sustainment of our customer’s training aids, devices, simulators and simulations, other furnished property and instrumentation, targets and threat simulations so they remain fully mission capable for their training events and exercises. In this role, the Life Cycle Engineer III will help drive system readiness, life cycle affordability, and long-term supportability for complex, fielded systems.

Responsibilities

Reliability, Availability & Maintainability (RAM) Engineering: 25%

• Perform RAM modeling and analysis to support life cycle assessments and readiness projections for fielded systems
• Analyze system performance, failure modes, and maintenance data to validate and refine RAM models
• Recommend design or support strategy improvements to increase system availability and reduce life cycle cost

Data Analytics & Life Cycle Performance Assessment: 25%

• Lead the collection, analysis, and interpretation of performance, maintenance, and environmental data across the product life cycle
• Identify trends, drivers of downtime, and systemic issues to inform engineering changes, sustainment strategies, and process improvements
• Develop data-driven reports and dashboards for internal stakeholders and customer reviews

Sustainment Engineering & Life Cycle Support: 15%

• Conduct sustainment engineering activities including parts consumption analysis, maintenance trend evaluation, sparing recommendations, and cost-optimized sustainment planning
• Develop and contribute to sustainment engineering deliverables Life Cycle Sustainment Reviews (LCSR)
• Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) Provisioning and sparing analyses
• Level of Repair Analysis (LORA) Provide technical input to Integrated Product Support (IPS) planning and logistics support analysis

Obsolescence, TAA Compliance & DMSMS Management: 15%

• Implement and lead the obsolescence management program for assigned systems
• Support Supply Chain and Program Management with the Diminishing
• Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) program
• Conduct BOM health assessments and track technology refresh plans to ensure long-term system viability.
• Identify alternative components, suppliers, or redesign strategies to mitigate obsolescence, TAA compliance and supply risk
• Utilize GIDEP, industry databases, supplier inputs, and market intelligence to proactively identify and address obsolescence risks

Failure Reporting & Reliability Growth (FRACAS): 10%

• Implement and manage a Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS)
• Analyze failure data, perform root cause analysis, and track corrective actions through closure
• Drive reliability growth initiatives and recommend design, process, or support changes that improve system performance and availability
• Provide feedback loops into design, manufacturing, and sustainment teams to continually enhance system reliability

Systems Engineering & Configuration Management Support: 10%

• Support systems engineering life cycle activities, including configuration management and requirements traceability
• Track system modifications, upgrades, ECPs (Engineering Change Proposals), and technology refreshes throughout the life cycle
• Review and help update Technical Data Packages (TDPs) to ensure consistency with fielded configurations and approved changes
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems engineering, logistics, supply chain, program management) to ensure sustainment considerations are integrated into design and upgrade decisions
