About the role

The Configuration Manager is responsible for executing and maintaining the company’s configuration and document control processes to ensure product definition, engineering changes, documentation, and baselines remain complete, accurate, and fully traceable throughout the product life cycle. This role supports the planning, implementation, and continual improvement of all five Configuration Management functions - Configuration Management Planning & Management, Configuration Identification, Configuration Change Management, Configuration Status Accounting, and Configuration Verification & Audit as defined by EIA-649C and GEIA-HB-649A / MIL-HDBK-61B, including contributing to the TDI Configuration Management Plan and related procedures across hardware, software, firmware, and associated documentation.

Responsibilities

• Supports development, maintenance, and periodic revision of the TDI Configuration Management Plan and CM procedures in alignment with EIA-649C, GEIA-HB-649A, and MIL-HDBK-61B.
• Defines, monitors, and reports CM performance metrics (e.g., change cycle time, CSA data quality, audit findings) to drive continuous improvement.
• Ensures CM roles, responsibilities, and decision authorities are clearly understood and followed across Engineering, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, and Program Management.
• Ensures configuration items including hardware, software, firmware, and documentation are uniquely identified, structured, and baselined per CM standards.
• Maintains accurate as-designed, as-planned, as-built, and as-delivered configuration documentation across PLM/PDM, QMS, and ERP systems.
• Executes the end-to-end configuration change management process (ECR/ECO/Deviation/Concession), ensuring complete, accurate, and timely documentation.
• Publishes and maintains the Master Schedule of Changes, communicating impacts to Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Programs.
• Verifies incorporation of changes into released documentation, manufacturing routers, BOMs, tooling, and inspection criteria.
• Administers the Configuration Status Accounting database to maintain authoritative records of configuration baselines, change status, serial-number traceability, and audit results.
• Serves as a cross-functional liaison, ensuring clarity and adherence to CM processes during design, production, test, and sustainment activities.
• Provides CM and document control training to engineering, operations, quality, and program personnel.
• Supports the flow-down of CM requirements to suppliers and subcontractors, including change control, documentation deliverables, and data configuration rules.
• Reviews supplier-submitted data for completeness, accuracy, and alignment with TDI configuration baselines.
• Coordinates variance requests, supplier deviations, and engineering change impacts affecting supply chain or outsourced work.
• Plans, supports, and documents Configuration Verification & Audit activities, including Functional Configuration Audits (FCA) and Physical Configuration Audits (PCA).
• Verifies that product configuration documentation accurately reflects the manufactured product and that approved changes are fully incorporated.
• Serves as a cross-functional liaison, ensuring clarity and adherence to CM processes during design, production, test, and sustainment activities.
• Drives CM process discipline to protect configuration integrity throughout the product lifecycle.
