Vehicle Assembly Document Coordinator

In 1903, out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four young men lit a cultural wildfire that would grow and spread across geographies and generations. Their innovation and imagination for what was possible on two wheels sparked a transportation revolution that would make Harley-Davidson the most recognizable motorcycle brand in the world. Today, we continue to define motorcycle culture, evoking soul-stirring emotion reflected in every product and experience we deliver.

About the role

The Vehicle Assembly Document Coordinator creates, maintains, and owns accurate product line-wide vehicle assembly documentation (aka “Build Book” – our single source of truth for the assembly of the world’s greatest motorcycles). This documentation typically spans several model years, all international configurations, and requires managing change forward to future build books concurrently. The role is highly integrated with Vehicle Engineering, Data Management, and Global Advanced Manufacturing and requires daily collaboration and communication to ensure stakeholder needs are met. Motorcycle design, maintenance, and assembly knowledge will be advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Create, revise, and release Build Books (BBKs), establishing vehicle assembly documentation baselines and incorporating approved engineering changes through the ECN process.
• Add and maintain model and configuration-specific content within Build Books, including part numbers, fastener specifications, quantities, color codes, and trim codes in accordance with released engineering documentation.
• Coordinate and maintain vehicle assembly documentation, ensuring Build Book content is accurate, current, and aligned with approved engineering releases.

Configuration Management

• Ensure vehicle build book documentation accurately reflects the approved and locked vehicle configuration.
• Evaluate and coordinate implementation of configuration scope changes (CSCs), identifying required cross-functional support and updating vehicle assembly documentation accordingly.
• Create and maintain engineering change documentation to support configuration updates and ensure traceability.

Data Management Support

• Support 3-Way and 4-Way reviews with assembly plants to ensure alignment with standard work.
• Understand and navigate vehicle Bill of Material (BOM) structure and relationships to support accurate product documentation.

Requirements

• High School Diploma or Equivalent (Minimum 2-year associate degree)
• 5 years of experience in industry
• Proficient with Microsoft Excel (with experience using macros)

Preferred Qualifications

• Technical degree
• General knowledge of motorcycles
• Motorcycle Bill of Material (BOM) or equivalent vehicle experience
• Understands the concepts of BOM structure, part attributes, and configurations
• Detail-oriented with ability to work with multiple sources of information to create the Build Book (e.g., Color Chart, Options Matrix, Configuration Matrix, ECNs)
• Windchill/PLM experience required to create Engineering Change Request (ECR)/ECNs
• Ability to review engineering changes and understand how they impact the Build Book
• Ability to manipulate Virtual Assembly for screenshots and assembly instruction (experience with CAD systems with large assemblies)
• Strong communication skills
