- Evaluate the technical, quality, cost, inventory, procurement, compliance, and scheduling impacts of proposed engineering changes.
- Manage approval workflows and release activities, ensuring all required reviews and approvals are completed before changes are implemented.
- Develop and execute implementation plans addressing production timing, effectivity, inventory disposition, supplier coordination, and communication requirements.
- Support sourcing, procurement, quoting, and implementation activities for new and revised parts.
- Evaluate the impact of engineering changes on production operations, including manufacturing processes, material availability, production schedules, existing inventory, work-in-process, supplier inventory, and material obsolescence.
- Determine inventory disposition and rework requirements resulting from engineering changes and develop appropriate documentation and implementation instructions.
- Maintain product configuration accuracy by creating, updating, and controlling bills of material, drawings, material master data, work instructions, and ERP/PLM records.
- Serve as a primary resource for engineering change implementation and escalate complex or high-risk issues when necessary.
- Monitor engineering change metrics and participate in post-implementation reviews to identify issues, determine root causes, and drive corrective and continuous improvement actions.
- Develop training materials and provide training related to engineering change processes, implementation requirements, and product changes.
Qualifications & Experience
- 3–5 years of experience in engineering change management, manufacturing, industrial engineering, supply chain, or a related technical field preferred.
- Strong knowledge of engineering drawings, bills of material (BOMs), manufacturing processes, and engineering change control procedures.
