Manufacturing & PLM Planning Specialist

About the role

This role serves as a critical bridge between Manufacturing Operations and Design Engineering, combining Master Data Governance with Core Production Planning, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Engineering Change Control (ECR/ECO) into a single, high-impact role.

Responsibilities

• Odoo Manufacturing Systems & Master Data Administration System Super-User: Serve as the core Manufacturing Operations business process owner for Odoo modules, including PLM, Manufacturing (MRP), MES, Inventory/WMS, Quality, and Purchasing. Data Integrity: Establish, monitor, and enforce strict master datagovernance policies to protect system data integrity across all integrated modules. Optimization & UAT: Support system implementation and workflow optimization projects, performing user acceptance testing (UAT) and validating digital data paths. Training & Reporting: Support employee onboarding and system adoption; develop operational reports, automated dashboards, and data tracking tools to optimize business processes.
• Production Planning & Manufacturing Control: Master Scheduling: Translate released PLM data and customer demand into optimized, executable production schedules within Odoo MRP. Order Management: Release, sequence, and manage manufacturing orders (MOs) and work orders based on material availability and operational capacity. Performance Tracking: Monitor schedule adherence, track manufacturing performance metrics, and participate in daily operational and production planning reviews. Inventory Alignment: Support inventory planning activities, material availability tracking, and cycle counting initiatives to ensure high inventory accuracy.
• Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) & Configuration Control System Ownership: Own and maintain product structures and digital data architecture within the Odoo PLM ecosystem. BOM Governance: Audit, structure, and manage Engineering and Manufacturing Bills of Materials (eBOMs/mBOMs) to ensure a seamless data transition from design to production. Configuration Management: Manage the system configuration files and part data for advanced battery modules, battery packs, battery management systems (BMS), and related sub-assemblies. Revision Control: Ensure all system data, part numbers, and engineering data attachments remain strictly revision-controlled and aligned with final engineering releases. NPI Data Rollout: Coordinate the digital release and precise system rollout of New Product Introductions (NPI) and engineering revisions into the live production environment.
• Engineering Change & Cross-Functional Coordination: ECO Ownership: Serve as the primary administrative coordinator for Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), driving changes through the digital approval workflow. Data Liaison: Act as the central data bridge between Design Engineering, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing to ensure engineering releases are accurately reflected in production systems. Effectivity & Cut-In Planning: Coordinate with Supply Chain and Production to determine exact effective dates and inventory cut-ins for engineering changes, minimizing scrap and material obsolescence. Change Communication: Notify procurement and manufacturing teams of upcoming component changes, substitutions, and end-of-life (EOL) parts to ensure system readiness.

Qualifications

This position is ideal for a highly analytical systems expert who thrives at the intersection of product design and factory-floor execution. You enjoy enterprise systems, data management, and process improvement, and you want to play a foundational role in building a world-class battery manufacturing organization.
