Product Configuration Manager

We’re hiring a Configuration Manager to lead product definition, audit compliance, and part traceability across complex engineering programs. If you’re passionate about structured data, version control, and making sure every part has a purpose and a paper trail—this is your kind of role.

You’ll be the central authority on how parts, subassemblies, and platforms are reused, revised, and controlled. This isn’t a tooling-heavy position—it’s about owning the product structure, enforcing standards, and keeping everything audit-ready across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing teams.

What You’ll Do

Maintain structured relationships between parts, subassemblies, and top-level platforms

Own the item master for designed and procured parts across multiple programs

Ensure all product data is version-controlled, baselined, and fully traceable

Govern how items are reused or revised across configurations

Validate MBOM alignment with product configuration baselines

Oversee configuration changes in line with EIA-649, ASME Y14.5, ISO 9001, and internal standards

Coordinate release schedules to avoid version conflicts and divergence

Maintain digital records to support audit readiness and compliance

Collaborate with PLM and CAD teams to ensure systems support configuration governance

What You Bring

5+ years in configuration management or product data governance

Deep understanding of product structure, interchangeability, and configuration rules

Experience with engineering change control, drawing versioning, and part release workflows

Familiarity with standards like EIA-649, ASME Y14.5, ISO 9001, or MIL-STD equivalents

Hands-on experience with PLM / PDM systems (Teamcenter preferred)

Comfortable navigating engineering and manufacturing BOMs

Strong documentation, audit prep, and version traceability skills

Confidence enforcing standards across engineering, supply chain, and program teams

Why You’ll Love It Here

100% paid medical for employees, 80% for dependents

Dental, vision, life, and disability insurance

Generous PTO, paid holidays, and parental leave

Competitive salary + performance bonuses

401(k) plan + stock options

Free lunch and unlimited snacks / drinks in-office

If you’re ready to bring structure, clarity, and compliance to high-impact engineering programs, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or reach out to learn more!
