Configuration Management - Specialist - Powertrain

The role

You will own the configuration integrity of the electric battery-powered propulsion system. You will manage the powertrain BOM structure in the PLM system and coordinate change implementation with supply chain and manufacturing.

What you will do

• Own and maintain the powertrain BOM structure in the PLM system
• Define and manage effectivity for propulsion system hardware
• Maintain configuration traceability between powertrain items and the aircraft-level BOM
• Establish and maintain powertrain configuration baselines
• Partner with powertrain engineers to plan changes and define scope
• Facilitate change implementation planning with supply chain
• Coordinate with manufacturing to define retrofit and forward-fit requirements
• Partner with the central Configuration Management team to ensure data aligns with enterprise standards
• Perform functional and physical configuration audits for propulsion system hardware
• Generate and maintain configuration status accounting reports

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of configuration management experience at an aerospace or automotive OEM or Tier 1 supplier
• Hands-on experience managing hardware BOMs and product structures in a PLM system (Teamcenter, Windchill, Enovia, or equivalent)
• Understanding of effectivity methods — unit, serial number, and date-based — and their application to hardware change management
• Experience coordinating change implementation across supply chain and manufacturing stakeholders
• Familiarity with engineering change processes (CRs, CNs, ECOs, ECNs) from initiation through release and close
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and technical documentation
• Strong communication skills

Nice to have

• Experience in electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid powertrain development at an automotive OEM or Tier 1 supplier
• Familiarity with aerospace CM standards and certification processes (ARP4754)
• Hands-on experience with Siemens Teamcenter
• Knowledge of configuration management standards (CMII, EIA-649)
• Experience working in agile or model-based development programs
• Familiarity with the hardware development lifecycle from prototype through production release
• US Person status to support Configuration Management activities of ITAR-controlled hardware
