Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Business, Project Management, or a related technical field.
• 5+ years in program or project coordination or related roles.
• Experience coordinating cross-functional work across Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, Project Management, Quality, Service, and suppliers or contract manufacturers.
• Experience with revision control, engineering change processes, documentation workflows, or configuration management in a quality-driven manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

• Manage programs for released products — major revisions, performance or configuration updates, compliance-driven changes, manufacturing changes, and documentation-impacting updates.
• Maintain revision plans defining scope, affected products and configurations, deliverables, owners, dependencies, milestones, and implementation status.
• Lead recurring cross-functional meetings — agendas, status updates, decisions, and action items — and follow through to closure.
• Monitor schedule, scope, risk, and readiness; identify gaps early and elevate decisions or resources needed to keep revisions moving.
• Coordinate release and implementation readiness across Engineering, Operations, Service, Project Management, and external manufacturing partners.
• Partner with the Technical Writer, R&D, and Project Management to identify documentation affected by released-product changes and revisions.
• Coordinate priorities, reviews, approvals, and release timing for updates to product specifications, data sheets, IOM manuals, submittals, drawings, test information, labels, and attachments.
• Ensure documentation owners receive complete, timely technical inputs — approved engineering changes, updated drawings, performance data, calculations, test results, and configuration details.
• Track document status and dependencies through review and release while keeping customer, project, manufacturing, and service needs visible.
• Confirm released documentation matches the intended product revision and that superseded or incomplete information is flagged for disposition.
• Manage implementation follow-through for approved ECRs, ECOs, and ECNs affecting released products.
• Verify approved changes are reflected in the applicable BOMs, drawings, controlled documents, manufacturing instructions, supplier communications, and product records.
• Maintain traceability between revision scope, engineering changes, documentation deliverables, approvals, and implementation evidence.
• Support cut-in planning and communication, so teams know which revision applies, when it takes effect, and what deliverables are required.
• Maintain concise dashboards, trackers, meeting records, and decision logs that make revision status and accountability visible.
• Report status to Product Development leadership and stakeholders, highlighting progress, upcoming milestones, risks, overdue actions, and decisions required.
• Coordinate handoffs between Product Development and Operations, including readiness reviews and completion criteria.
• Support consistent working practices for released-product revision planning, documentation coordination, and action closure.
