Maintenance Engineering Expert

Location: Hybrid (APG - Aberdeen, MD and Remote) Travel %: Up to 25% / Comp: 110-175k (DOE) Summary T2S Solutions is seeking to hire a Maintenance Engineering Expert in APG, MD. This role provides maintenance engineering, reliability, maintainability, logistics, and lifecycle-sustainment support for Department of War (DoW) and Army systems and equipment. The contractor supports government-led efforts to develop, assess, implement, and improve maintenance concepts that optimize readiness, availability, safety, affordability, and long-term sustainment. The successful candidate will apply expertise in maintenance concept development, reliability and maintainability (RAM), condition-based maintenance (CBM+), performance-based logistics (PBL), provisioning, sparing, technical manuals, system safety, human performance, and fielded-system problem resolution. The role requires the ability to translate operational and technical requirements into practical sustainment strategies, maintenance plans, analyses, and decision-ready products. Responsibilities Maintenance Concept Development and Analysis Support development, refinement, validation, and implementation of maintenance concepts for new, modified, and fielded systems. Conduct requirements determination and maintenance engineering analyses to identify maintenance levels, tasks, resources, personnel, facilities, support equipment, and training requirements. Develop and assess maintenance concepts using Level of Repair Analysis (LORA), COMPASS, SESAME, and other government-directed methodologies and analytical tools. Conduct core logistics analyses, sparing analyses, and overall repair-parts concepts to support operational availability, readiness, affordability, and lifecycle sustainment. Support performance-based logistics planning, including development of supportability objectives, performance measures, sustainment strategies, and risk assessments. Support condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+) planning and implementation activities, including condition-monitoring requirements, data-use considerations, diagnostic/prognostic approaches, and maintenance-decision support. Analyze maintenance processes and recommend improvements to reduce downtime, improve repair-cycle time, increase readiness, and reduce total ownership cost. Reliability, Maintainability, and Quality Engineering Conduct long-term system reliability and maintainability analyses, including Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), availability, failure trends, repair-cycle time, and supportability metrics. Support RAM requirements determination, allocation, analysis, verification, and reporting throughout the system lifecycle. Conduct or support reliability simulation, modeling, testing, and program-management activities. Perform system maintainability assessments addressing design accessibility, diagnostics, fault isolation, repair procedures, required skill levels, tooling, support equipment, and safety considerations. Support reliability and quality engineering and assurance activities, including review and analysis of Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDRs), recurring failures, defect trends, corrective actions, and verification of improvement efforts. Identify reliability, maintainability, and quality risks; assess their operational and sustainment impacts; and develop recommended mitigation options. Support Engineering Change Proposal-related technical analysis when changes may affect maintenance, supportability, safety, reliability, or lifecycle costs. Technical Publications, Provisioning, and Supportability Products Support development, review, validation, and maintenance of Technical Manuals (TMs), Repair Parts and Special Tools Lists (RPSTLs), Maintenance Allocation Charts (MACs), and related sustainment documentation. Support maintenance demonstrations and validation activities to confirm maintenance-task feasibility, technical-publication accuracy, support-equipment needs, tooling requirements, personnel skill requirements, and repair-time estimates. Support provisioning management, including identification and validation of repair parts, special tools, test equipment, consumables, and initial-spares requirements. Review technical data and logistics products for completeness, accuracy, configuration alignment, usability, and consistency with approved maintenance concepts. Support materiel-release activities by providing maintenance, supportability, reliability, technical-publication, and provisioning input, as directed. Identify technical-publication, provisioning, or supportability gaps that could delay fielding, increase maintenance burden, or adversely affect readiness. Human Performance, Safety, and Fielded-System Support Conduct ergonomic and human-performance analyses to improve maintainability, user safety, workload, accessibility, physical demands, and effectiveness of maintenance activities. Support system-safety analyses as they relate to maintenance procedures, maintenance hazards, human factors, equipment design, and technical-publication content. Analyze Equipment Improvement Recommendations (EIRs), PQDRs, user feedback, maintenance data, and other fielded-system information to identify root causes and support problem resolution. Support resolution of fielded-system maintenance, reliability, quality, and sustainment issues through technical analysis, stakeholder coordination, and recommended corrective actions. Assess demilitarization (DEMIL) challenges and support planning for maintenance-related disposal, disposition, safety, environmental, and lifecycle considerations, as applicable. Develop and deliver maintenance concept engineering training, workshops, technical briefings, and knowledge-transfer materials for authorized government and contractor stakeholders. Program and Project Support Support integrated product teams and cross-functional coordination among engineering, logistics, program management, technical publications, quality, safety, contracting, and operational stakeholders. Develop decision-ready maintenance concept documents, analyses, briefings, reports, action trackers, risk registers, schedules, and recommendations. Support planning and execution of maintenance-engineering reviews, sustainment assessments, technical-data reviews, maintenance demonstrations, and readiness-related meetings. Track maintenance-concept implementation actions, dependencies, risks, and milestones throughout development, fielding, sustainment, and modernization phases. Support analysis of lifecycle sustainment costs and recommend strategies to improve readiness, reliability, maintainability, and affordability. Required Qualifications Active Top Secret Clearance Bachelor’s degree in engineering, logistics, systems engineering, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, reliability engineering, maintenance management, or a related technical discipline. Relevant additional experience may be considered in lieu of a degree where permitted by contract requirements. 5-10+ years of progressively responsible experience in maintenance engineering, reliability engineering, maintainability engineering, lifecycle logistics, systems engineering, or defense sustainment.
