• Support supply chain management activities by processing new items into Government supply systems and updating existing logistics data.
• Coordinate with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), engineering organizations, and other Department of Defense agencies to support equipment sustainment.
• Monitor modification parts, National Stock Numbers (NSNs), provisioning data, and contractor-supported logistics requirements.
• Support Agile and Waterfall development efforts associated with system modernization initiatives.
• Participate in Configuration Control Boards (CCBs), Engineering Review Boards (ERBs), and implementation of approved engineering changes.
• Support Functional Configuration Audits (FCAs), Physical Configuration Audits (PCAs), compliance reviews, and action item tracking.
• Utilize Government maintenance and logistics systems, including IMDS and REMIS, to support Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E) reporting and equipment readiness.
• Apply configuration management principles and logistics best practices throughout the lifecycle of Air Force radar and surveillance systems.
