Your impact:
Defining and documenting In-Service Support strategies (Repair, Spares, ESS, Test, FSR)
Coordinating with Subject Matter Experts across multiple engineering disciplines
Interpreting ISS requirements and KPIs to guide decision-making
Performing Logistic Support Analysis and Reporting (LSAR) for every maintenance level of Leonardo’s products
Working within the Advanced Targeting business area, influencing the supportability, strategy, and performance of next-generation Laser and Infra-Red Countermeasure systems
What we’re looking for:
Strong understanding of ISS requirements and KPIs (Availability, Fill Rate, Repair Turnaround Time)
Experience in spares modelling (Opus/Simlox) is a bonus, but not essential
Background in Electronic Product Design

At Leonardo, your work matters. You’ll be at the forefront of defence innovation, ensuring that our advanced products are supported efficiently, reliably, and ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
