Job DescriptionPosition SummaryThe Configuration Analyst provides technical and administrative support for the Configuration Management (CM) Program within the American Centrifuge Operating Engineering Department, with a primary focus on supporting the Mechanical Design Engineering team. This role ensures that design data, drawings, and configuration documentation are accurate, compliant, and aligned with governing requirements. The Configuration Analyst provides direct support for Product Data Management(PDM) tool related design issues, performs drawing and metadata reviews, manages standard component and family-table libraries, and supports the Change Control Board (CCB). The employee will contribute to process improvement initiatives and provide feedback that supports the organization's strategic vision for configuration control, design quality, and engineering efficiency.
What You'll Be Doing:- Provide direct configuration management support to Mechanical Design Engineering, including resolving design-related PDM issues such as check-in failures, workspace conflicts, missing references, and family-table discrepancies.
- Review mechanical design drawings, ensuring accuracy of metadata, revision control, title block information, and compliance with CM, ESO, and design control requirements.
- Serve as the library manager for family-table parts, standard components, and controlled CAD objects, ensuring consistency, standardization, and proper configuration control.
- Support the preparation, routing, and documentation of engineering changes; participate in CCB activities to ensure change packages are complete, accurate, and compliant.
- Develop, maintain, and improve CM processes, procedures, and user guidance related to drawing release, configuration control, and design documentation.
- Maintain involvement with design, construction, operation, and maintenance activities to ensure CM principles and practices are consistently applied.
- Coordinate with engineering, quality, operations, and other site organizations to ensure consistent implementation of configuration management requirements.
- Review CM performance indicators, participate in monitoring CM program health, and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Periodically review selected data sources to identify trends, latent organizational weaknesses, or error precursors related to configuration management activities.
- Promote CM training and awareness to strengthen understanding of configuration control across engineering teams.
What Youll Bring:- Strong understanding of configuration management principles, drawing control, and engineering documentation practices.
- Working knowledge of Windchill and/or SolidWorks in a user-support capacity (workspace management, family tables, metadata accuracy, lifecycle states).
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation.
- Demonstrated strong written, verbal, and presentation communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively under pressure, manage shifting priorities, and support multiple engineering teams.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to identify and correct configuration discrepancies.
We'd Love to Hear from Candidates with:A bachelor's degree in engineering, physical sciences, or a related technical field, or equivalent technical experience. Three years of relevant engineering, configuration management, or technical documentation experience preferred. Experience with Windchill and/or SolidWorks, mechanical design workflows, drawing practices, and configuration control processes with a Q-level clearance is highly desirable.
