The team you will be joining forms part of a multi-discipline engineering team responsible for the Through-Life Services (TLS), which will shape the service and product solution for Tempest, the next-generation combat aircraft. TLS consists of everything needed to keep the systems operating effectively throughout life. This project aims to develop a capable, cost-effective, and sustainable solution, by influencing the early design of the equipment, as well as providing the through-life solution framework. This includes all of the Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), solution management, continuous improvement, equipment upgrades, spares, repairs, training, supportability, failure prediction, equipment health status monitoring, support solution architecture, knowledge, and information management. Supportability Engineers are involved at all stages of a GCAP/FCAS programme, from Bid, to Development, to Production, then Customer Support, and eventually disposal. We draw engineers from many different disciplines in addition to Supportability, such as Electronic and Systems Engineering.

Produce evidence demonstrating compliance with supportability requirements, using analytical techniques and RM&T analysis on integrated systems. Work with the support solution modelling team to evaluate product and service designs from a supportability perspective, performing trade-off studies. Analyze historic in-service data from similar platforms to identify improvement areas and inform projections, presenting findings to stakeholders. Provide support for customer and user engagement, producing roadmaps, supportability plans, and formal documentation. Network across Leonardo lines of business, sharing and adopting best practices.
