Exceptional candidates with 5-6 years of strong, hands-on experience in one of these environments will be considered. * Working-level experience processing engineering changes end to end - change request through change order through implementation - not solely release/administration of packages prepared by others. * Practical command of part and sub-assembly re-identification decisions, including when interchangeability drives re-identification up the product structure. * Hands-on experience in an enterprise PLM platform, including change objects, product structure, and lifecycle data release. * Demonstrated ownership: comfortable hunting down answers across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing rather than waiting for work packages to arrive. * Able to work on-site in Seattle, WA. Nice to Have Skills: * Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA experience (program PLM platform of record). * Familiarity with CATIA (CAD) and Infor LN (ERP) data flows into the change process. * Aerospace change and certification experience, including working with regulatory concurrence in the change lifecycle. * Experience in a lean or fast-moving product organization where individual contributors own the full change package, rather than one slice of it. ## Description Prime Air is building and certifying autonomous delivery drones in a heavily regulated aerospace environment. Configuration management is how the program proves to regulators that the product it certifies matches - or improves on - the original design intent, through every iteration in between. This is a hands-on, tactical role, not a strategy role. Program strategy and process frameworks are already set. The team needs someone who processes changes end to end: works the details of each change request, chases engineering and supply chain for answers, drives changes through the Configuration Control Board (CCB), and tracks execution from approval through physical implementation into the product - raising flags when execution slips from plan. The role sits at the intersection of engineering, systems, and execution: part technical engineer, part program manager. Responsibilities * Meet with Engineering, Manufacturing, Product, and Operations to review upcoming hardware changes and understand their impact across the enterprise. * Align with downstream teams to evaluate when a change should be implemented based on material availability, testing status, integration readiness, and regulatory concurrence. * Dig into the details of proposed change requests - challenge incomplete definitions, confirm documentation is complete, and verify change impact is properly captured before the change goes to the CCB. * Facilitate hardware change and configuration management activities: change control (running the CCB), configuration status accounting, product baselining, and release of product lifecycle data. * Coordinate change integration activities, tracking execution of each design change from approval through physical implementation into the product, and escalating when activities are not executed to plan. * Make and defend part re-identification decisions based on form, fit, function, and interchangeability. * Work with the infrastructure tools team to refine toolset processes and improve visibility into configuration state across the Prime Air program. * Collaborate with Technical Program Managers (TPMs) and program leads to maintain configuration integrity as systems evolve. * Facilitate change request working sessions to improve process workflows and streamline integration efforts. * Translate technical requirements into roadmap input for PLM/PDM systems. * Provide input to executive reviews on how configuration decisions affect vehicle effectivity and delivery timelines. ## Related Videos - [Python-Based Data Streaming Pipelines Within Minutes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1233-python-based-data-streaming-pipelines-within-minutes) - [Crew Management System for Airlines: Plan duties for pilots & flight attendants worldwide](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1444-crew-management-system-for-airlines-plan-duties-for-pilots-flight-attendants-worldwide) - [Why and when should we consider Stream Processing frameworks in our solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1085-why-and-when-should-we-consider-stream-processing-frameworks-in-our-solutions) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Model Based Systems Engineering in an Agile Product Development Process](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/68-model-based-systems-engineering-in-an-agile-product-development-process) - [Leveraging Server-Sent Events (SSE) for Efficient Data Streaming in UI Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/905-leveraging-server-sent-events-sse-for-efficient-data-streaming-in-ui-development) ## Related Articles - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers)
