Data Manager

The Data Manager bridges mechanical design, enterprise systems, and supply-chain intelligence to ensure every component is accurately costed, sourced, and tracked throughout its lifecycle. This role focuses on ingesting data from mechanical engineering assembly drawings and JIRA tickets, building and maintaining fully costed bills of materials (BOM) for all CMG modules, and keeping part status, lead times, and sourcing information current in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365). The Data Manager also drives automation within D365 and develops proactive tracking for part obsolescence, directly supporting initiatives in the space flight industry and small satellite launch. Responsibilities

• Ingest data from mechanical engineering assembly drawings and JIRA tickets to create and update comprehensive bills of materials (BOM) for CMG modules.
• Populate and maintain fully costed BOMs, ensuring accurate pricing, quantities, and sourcing details for all components.
• Maintain up-to-date part status, including availability, lead times, and sourcing information within Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365).
• Ensure data integrity and consistency across mechanical design information, enterprise systems, and supply-chain records.
• Drive automation of D365 processes to improve efficiency, reduce manual effort, and enhance data accuracy.
• Develop and implement proactive tracking mechanisms for part obsolescence to support long-term product and supply-chain planning.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, supply-chain, and program teams to align BOM data with design intent and manufacturing requirements.
• Use schematic and engineering drawing knowledge to validate and reconcile BOM data with mechanical assemblies.
• Support manufacturing-related data needs by providing accurate, timely BOM and part information to relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of data management practices, tools, and workflows within the enterprise systems environment.
