This role acts as the system authority ensuring data integrity, traceability and alignment across mechanical, electrical, and documentation domains throughout concept, NPI, production and sustaining phases. The position owns revision management, baselining, effectiveness, and ECR/ECN workflows, preventing data divergence while enabling scalable, repeatable engineering operations. The role is critical to supporting customer audits, compliance requirements, and product lifecycle traceability in complex, configuration-driven product environments., Configuration Control & PLM Governance * 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. Engineering Change & Release Execution * 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. Cross-Functional Leadership & Agile Execution * 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. Data Governance & Continuous Improvement * 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. Audit Readiness & Traceability * 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. ## Related Videos - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [TresJS a new declarative ThreeJS as Vue components](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/543-tresjs-a-new-declarative-threejs-as-vue-components) - [Develop on Windows, Deploy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1600-develop-on-windows-deploy-on-red-hat-enterprise-linux) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [AI in Regulated Industry - Validating AI-Enabled Products with PLM and Digital Twins](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2065-ai-in-regulated-industry-validating-ai-enabled-products-with-plm-and-digital-twins) ## Related Articles - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Best Companies to work for in London: Top 25 Companies in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/187-best-companies-to-work-for-in-london-top-25-companies-in-2023) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers)
