Job summary

Jabil is seeking an experienced PLM/Configuration Manager to own end-to-end configuration control for CAD models, BOMs, and documentation and to manage ECR/ECN workflows across multiple engineering disciplines.

You will drive data governance, release readiness, and cross-functional collaboration to align product data across EBOM/MBOM, CAD structures, and released documentation, supporting audits and program schedules.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or equivalent.
8+ years of experience in PLM, configuration management, or product data governance.
Deep understanding of PLM systems, engineering change processes, and release workflows.
Experience coordinating cross-functional engineering activities across multiple disciplines.
Strong understanding of CAD, BOM, document control, and lifecycle relationships.
Proven ability to drive technical execution, prioritize work, and achieve closure without formal management authority.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end configuration control for CAD models, BOMs, and technical documentation within the PLM system.
Ensure accurate revision management, baselining, effectivity, lifecycle states, and release readiness across all engineering artifacts.
Maintain alignment between CAD structures, EBOMs, MBOMs, and released documentation.
Serve as the authoritative source for released product data, ensuring integrity, traceability, and audit readiness.
Own and enforce ECR/ECN workflows, ensuring changes are properly reviewed, approved, and traceable.
Manage as-designed versus as-built alignment across product variants and lifecycle phases.
Coordinate engineering release activities across mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, quality, and documentation teams.
Drive resolution of configuration, release, and data quality issues to support program schedules and business objectives.
Lead release readiness reviews, change control boards, and cross-functional working sessions.
Facilitate prioritization, action-item tracking, and issue resolution across engineering teams.
Identify and remove blockers, manage dependencies, and drive accountability without direct supervisory authority.
Apply Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or similar execution methodologies to improve engineering workflow efficiency and predictability.
Define and enforce naming conventions, metadata standards, classification structures, and release criteria.
Resolve configuration discrepancies, duplicate records, and data integrity issues.
Continuously improve PLM, configuration management, and release processes to increase engineering velocity and data quality.
Develop and maintain configuration management standards, best practices, and governance procedures.
Ensure PLM data structures support customer audits, compliance requirements, and quality management systems.
Maintain traceable records linking requirements, designs, changes, configurations, and released products.
Support customer, regulatory, and internal audits through configuration history, impact analysis, and documentation retrieval.
