Hardware Lifecycle & BOM Program Lead

Gimlet Labs, Inc.; San Francisco (CA); Presencial; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Gimlet Labs seeks a Product Lifecycle & BOM Operations Program Manager to own hardware part lifecycles across data centers. You will create internal part numbers, structure BOMs, ensure data accuracy, and translate deployment plans into material requirements.

This role bridges Engineering, Supply Chain, and deployment, ensuring right hardware, at the right revision, at the right time. 5+ years in PLM, BOM, or hardware ops preferred.

Formación

• 5+ years of experience in product lifecycle management, BOM management, materials planning, or hardware operations.
• Hands-on experience creating internal part numbers and structuring multi-level BOMs.
• Strong understanding of revision control, engineering change processes (ECR/ECO), and AML/AVL management.
• Ability to read and interpret datasheets and spec sheets for hardware such as servers, networking gear, power, cabling, and optics.
• Experience managing EOL notices, PCNs, last-time buys, and excess and obsolete inventory.
• Experience translating changing deployment schedules into material plans, and managing long-lead components and shortages.
• Strong analytical skills, with advanced spreadsheet experience and hands-on use of PLM systems (Arena, Agile, Windchill) and ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle).
• The ability to work closely with Engineering while respecting clear ownership: Engineering owns design, technical qualification, and substitutions; you own part data and BOM integrity.
• A track record of bringing structure and discipline to fast-moving hardware programs.

Responsabilidades

• Own the full part lifecycle: new part introduction, active production, end of life (EOL), and obsolescence.
• Monitor manufacturer EOL notices and PCNs, assess their impact on deployments, and drive last-time buys or replacements with Engineering.
• Manage excess and obsolete (E&O) inventory, including disposition plans that minimize cost.
• Create internal part numbers using a consistent numbering scheme, and map each one to its manufacturer part numbers (MPNs) and approved sources.
• Define and enforce part data standards: descriptions, units of measure, revision levels, lifecycle status, and approved manufacturer and vendor lists (AML/AVL).
• Read and interpret component datasheets and spec sheets to verify key attributes before a part is released.
• Build and maintain multi-level BOMs, from top-level assemblies down to sub-assemblies and components.
• Own BOM accuracy: audit BOMs, reconcile with purchases/receipts/deployments, and resolve discrepancies.
• Control BOM releases and revisions through the engineering change process (ECR/ECO), and assess change impact on orders, inventory, cost, and delivery.
• Translate approved deployment plans into time-phased material requirements and purchasing priorities.
• Track long-lead components, shortages, and material readiness across suppliers and sites.
• Report material risks and recommended actions to Supply Chain and deployment leaders.
