    Job description

    At Thales, we know technology has the ability to make our world more secure, sustainable, and inclusive – and that it’s all driven by human intelligence.

    Because it takes human intelligence to build and power the systems and solutions that people depend on every day. So we stay curious and make space for diverse points of view. We share what we know and we challenge what’s possible.

    From manufacturing and engineering to cybersecurity and space, we’re driving progress in some of the world’s most important industries – and working together to build a future we can all trust.

    The Senior ILS Engineer will form part of the Engineering Support Team and is responsible for provision of Logistic Support Analysis services and deliverables in support of the Scylla Sonar suite deployed on the Collins Class Submarines under the Scylla In-Service Support (ISS) contract.

    • Providing support for maintenance planning, using Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM), to identify predictive and preventive maintenance tasks.
    • Supporting the engineering team with obsolescence studies.
    • Identification of ILS products to support the development of ECPs and CCPs.
    • Developing logistic support products and reports to meet the requirements of the Contract.
    • Ensuring that ILS procedures, processes and work practices are sufficiently comprehensive to enable production of the ILS deliverables to the satisfaction of the Contract.

    KEY KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

    • Aptitude and experience for interpreting technical engineering information (drawings and manuals)
    • Experience in managing technical documentation life-cycles.
    • Working knowledge of engineering lifecycles and Configuration Management requirements.
    • Experience in an In-service Support (ISS) environment performing reliability studies, Maintenance Requirements Determination (MRD) or field service studies.
