Job description

Overview

We are seeking a Configuration Management (CM) Engineer to own and enforce product configuration control across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain systems. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of class I vs class II changes, product lifecycle management (PLM), and ERP bill-of-material (BOM) integrity. 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 validate part 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 maintain change 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.
