This position is ideal for a detail-oriented professional with experience in engineering change management, manufacturing, industrial engineering, supply chain, or a related technical field. The Engineering Change Specialist will work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement, and other cross-functional teams to ensure engineering changes are evaluated, approved, implemented, and documented accurately and efficiently. The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of engineering drawings, bills of material (BOMs), manufacturing processes, inventory considerations, and change-control procedures. Key Responsibilities • Manage and continuously improve the engineering change management process, including ECN workflows, procedures, governance standards, and process improvement initiatives. • Receive, validate, prioritize, and process engineering change requests while ensuring documentation is complete and compliant with established procedures. • Coordinate cross-functional reviews involving Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement, Service, Suppliers, and other stakeholders. • Evaluate the technical, quality, cost, inventory, procurement, compliance, and scheduling impacts of proposed engineering changes. • Manage approval workflows and release activities, ensuring all required reviews and approvals are completed before changes are implemented. • Develop and execute implementation plans addressing production timing, effectivity, inventory disposition, supplier coordination, and communication requirements. • Support sourcing, procurement, quoting, and implementation activities for new and revised parts. • Evaluate the impact of engineering changes on production operations, including manufacturing processes, material availability, production schedules, existing inventory, work-in-process, supplier inventory, and material obsolescence. • Determine inventory disposition and rework requirements resulting from engineering changes and develop appropriate documentation and implementation instructions. • Maintain product configuration accuracy by creating, updating, and controlling bills of material, drawings, material master data, work instructions, and ERP/PLM records. • Serve as a primary resource for engineering change implementation and escalate complex or high-risk issues when necessary. • Monitor engineering change metrics and participate in post-implementation reviews to identify issues, determine root causes, and drive corrective and continuous improvement actions. • Develop training materials and provide training related to engineering change processes, implementation requirements, and product changes. Qualifications & Experience • 3–5 years of experience in engineering change management, manufacturing, industrial engineering, supply chain, or a related technical field preferred. • Strong knowledge of engineering drawings, bills of material (BOMs), manufacturing processes, and engineering change control procedures. • Strong mechanical aptitude and working knowledge of the metric system required. • Experience working with ERP/MRP and PLM systems required. • SAP and SmartSheet experience preferred. • Associate’s or bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline preferred. • Equivalent education, technical training, and relevant professional experience will also be considered. • Strong organizational, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills. • Ability to work effectively across multiple departments and manage several engineering changes simultaneously.
