This role ensures that as-designed, as-planned, and as-built configurations align at every stage of production. Key Responsibilities - Define, implement, and enforce configuration control rules, including Class I vs Class II change thresholds (engineering vs minor production impacts). - Manage and maintain BOM integrity across ERP, PLM, and MES systems. - Perform as-built vs as-designed audits, ensuring hardware traceability between work orders, BOM revisions, and engineering documentation. - Collaborate with engineering to validatepart numbers, revisions, and metadata before release to the BOM. - Liaise with Planning and Production Control to ensure ERP BOMs accurately reflect approved configurations and effectivity dates. - Create and maintainchange control documentation, including ECOs, ECRs, deviations, and waivers. - Support ERP/PLM data migration, part-number standardization, and revision control efforts. - Develop configuration baselines for prototype, qualification, and flight hardware. - Participate in internal audits and ensure compliance with AS9100, ISO 9001, and company-specific QMS requirements. - Serve as a subject matter expert for configuration management processes and digital thread traceability. Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Systems, or related field. - 5-10 years of experience in Configuration Management, Product Lifecycle, or Systems Engineering within aerospace, defense, or complex hardware manufacturing. - Proven experience with ERP (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and PLM (e.g., Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill) systems. - Strong understanding of Engineering Change Control (ECO/ECR) and revision management. - Familiarity with BOM structures, serial number traceability, and work order management. - Excellent attention to detail, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills. - Knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, and ITAR compliance preferred. Additional Requirements This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
