Full Job Description
Description: NSI requires an I-Level Reform Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support the CNAL N41/Cost and Demand Management (CDM) Division. This position will serve as the onsite technical specialist for I-Level maintenance capability optimization at an East Coast Fleet Readiness Center (FRC). Acting as the "boots on the ground" representative for CNAL N41 and CDM, the SME evaluates, enhances, and synchronizes repair capabilities to reduce BCM rates, improve repair cycle times, strengthen ICRL accuracy, and support aircraft readiness. The role bridges O-Level maintenance demand with I-Level repair execution by engaging daily with work centers, Production Control, Supply, and squadron Maintenance Control.
Key responsibilities include BCM interdiction, ICRL validation, repair-capability assessments, support-equipment readiness reviews, troubleshooting support, training plan development, and standardization across regional FRCs. The SME provides daily production-meeting input, coordinates prioritization for critical components, and ensures that I-Level reform efforts directly reduce NMCS/PMCS conditions, MCWT, cannibalization, and recurring component failures. Reporting includes daily logs, weekly assessments, monthly ICRL validations, cost savings documentation, and quarterly capability roadmaps. The position requires constant engagement with artisans, supervisors, and leadership to identify gaps, resolve constraints, and improve total maintenance performance.
