Lifecycle Management Analyst

Location: Kirtland AFB, NM – on-site; full-time day shift.

About the Role

SAIC is seeking a Lifecycle Manager (LCM) with experience in sustainment, systems, and/or network engineering. The LCM will work with satellite ground-system owners and cross-functional teams—engineering, configuration, supply chain, and program control—to develop hardware and software sustainment plans. The role involves determining purchase quantities, recapitalization frequency, and resource allocation across multiple satellite ground systems within the Space System Command, Innovation and Prototyping Directorate.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate and align lifecycle-management processes with engineering and functional operations to support sustainment efforts.
• Work independently, demonstrating initiative and self-direction in all aspects of lifecycle management.
• Proactively identify, collect, and synthesize information from internal and external sources to support sustainment activities.
• Maintain and enhance the Power BI dashboard, using insights to inform stakeholders and drive decision-making.
• Actively seek opportunities to improve lifecycle-management processes and information flow; recommend and implement enhancements.
• Communicate findings and recommendations clearly to cross-functional teams and leadership.
• Integrate with Task Order integrated product teams (IPT).
• Facilitate workshops and lessons-learned sessions, sharing information and best practices.
• Analyze hardware and software maintenance, serviceability, end-of-service, and end-of-life.
• Work with logisticians to manage end-to-end hardware inventory in the warehouse, tracking all equipment from initial delivery through final disposal.
• Assist with quantifying RMA measurements for schedule and cost impacts; identify opportunities to improve or expand capabilities via recapitalization, tech-refresh, or refurbishment.
• Facilitate LCM-related lessons-learned/after-action reviews with internal and external customers.
• Create program-level metrics (e.g., 30-60-90, EOL/EOS, Maintenance Cycle, RMA).

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree (accredited) in a technically related field with 5 years of relevant systems experience; or 4 years of experience in lieu of a degree; or a Master’s degree (accredited) with 3 years of relevant systems sustainment experience.
• Active Top Secret or DoE Q clearance with SCI eligibility (must be eligible for SCI indoctrination within the first 3 months of start date) and ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI.
• Demonstrable knowledge of lifecycle management.
• Strong understanding of engineering processes associated with sustainment, RMA, and DMSMS.
• Working knowledge of sustainment standards (e.g., ISO, IEEE, MIL) and compliance.
• Experience using Power BI for data visualization.

Desired Skills

• Demonstrated interpersonal skills for interfacing with cross-functional technical teams, government customers, Mission Partners, and other government contractors.
• Experience working with DoD/Space Force customers.
• Ability to prioritize competing requirements and tasks.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
