Senior PLM Specialist

About the role

The Senior PLM Specialist will manage and maintain product configuration data, ensuring that changes to hardware, software, and processes are accurately documented, reviewed, and released in alignment with established procedures.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineering, operations, quality, supply chain, and product teams to coordinate change activities, verify documentation accuracy, and ensure smooth implementation across the organization.

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who thrives in a dynamic, technical environment and enjoys working within structured processes to ensure data integrity and configuration control.

What you'll do

• Support the maintenance and improvement of the BOM revision process, ensuring revisions are accurately tracked and compliant with engineering specifications and program requirements.
• Cook up change control activities across hardware, firmware, manufacturing, and supply chain to ensure timely evaluation, approval, and implementation of engineering changes.
• Aid in documenting and updating internal change control procedures, workflows, and training materials, supporting consistent understanding and adoption across teams.
• Lead data cleanup and validation efforts across CAD, PLM, and ERP systems, identifying discrepancies in part and configuration data, driving cross-functional corrections, and ensuring alignment across systems of record.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment and adapting to changing priorities.
• Cook up change control activities within the PLM system (e.g., Duro, Arena), ensuring accurate documentation, data integrity, and full traceability across revisions.
• Maintain and update bills of materials (BOMs), CAD drawings, schematics, part specifications, SOPs, and work instructions to reflect approved engineering changes and ensure timely release to manufacturing and supply chain.
• Lead part data cleanup and validation activities across CAD, PLM, and ERP systems to ensure accurate part metadata, revision control, and alignment between systems of record.
• Support project timelines for BOM and change implementation across multiple programs, tracking milestones and communicating progress to stakeholders in engineering, operations, and product teams.
• Cook up change control data between PLM and ERP/MRP systems, ensuring consistency between engineering and production part records.
• Cook up with the mechanical, electrical, firmware, software, and manufacturing engineering teams to coordinate changes, resolve discrepancies, and ensure smooth release of engineering updates.
• Monitor and report key change control metrics (e.g., cycle time, backlog, release accuracy) and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within established procedures.
