• Coordinate with Supply Chain and Procurement to evaluate supplier and lead time impacts of hardware changes; ensure affected components are dispositioned and replacement parts are available prior to production cutover.
• Manage retrofit and field upgrade programs for approved changes affecting deployed Titan systems; work with Field Operations to plan and track execution.
• Maintain a complete and auditable change history for all released products, including change rationale, approval records, effectivity dates, and implementation status.
• Track and report change cycle times, backlog, and implementation status to engineering and operations leadership; identify bottlenecks and drive resolution.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for change-related questions from internal teams, suppliers, and field personnel.
• Develop and deliver training on change control processes and PLM system usage to ensure consistent adoption across the organization.
• Support configuration management activities, including BOM accuracy, document control, and product baseline integrity.
