Overview

We are seeking a Configuration Management (CM) Engineer to own and enforce product configuration control across engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain systems. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of class I vs class II changes, product lifecycle management (PLM), and ERP bill-of-material (BOM) integrity. This role ensures that as-designed, as-planned, and as-built configurations align at every stage of production.

Key Responsibilities

- Define, implement, and enforce configuration control rules, including Class I vs Class II change thresholds (engineering vs minor production impacts).

- Manage and maintain BOM integrity across ERP, PLM, and MES systems.

- Perform as-built vs as-designed audits, ensuring hardware traceability between work orders, BOM revisions, and engineering documentation.

- Collaborate with engineering to validatepart numbers, revisions, and metadata before release to the BOM.

- Liaise with Planning and Production Control to ensure ERP BOMs accurately reflect approved configurations and effectivity dates.

- Create and maintainchange control documentation, including ECOs, ECRs, deviations, and waivers.

- Support ERP/PLM data migration, part-number standardization, and revision control efforts.

- Develop configuration baselines for prototype, qualification, and flight hardware.

- Participate in internal audits and ensure compliance with AS9100, ISO 9001, and company-specific QMS requirements.

- Serve as a subject matter expert for configuration management processes and digital thread traceability.

Qualifications

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing Systems, or related field.

- 5-10 years of experience in Configuration Management, Product Lifecycle, or Systems Engineering within aerospace, defense, or complex hardware manufacturing.

- Proven experience with ERP (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and PLM (e.g., Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill) systems.

- Strong understanding of Engineering Change Control (ECO/ECR) and revision management.

- Familiarity with BOM structures, serial number traceability, and work order management.

- Excellent attention to detail, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.

- Knowledge of AS9100, ISO 9001, and ITAR compliance preferred.
