Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with PLM, PDM, BOM management, configuration management, or engineering change management.
• Experience with Siemens Teamcenter, Siemens NX, Jira, Excel, Power BI, or equivalent tools.
• Experience in automotive, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, robotics, or another complex engineered-product environment.
• Understanding of manufacturing and supply chain processes and their relationship to engineering product definition.
• Experience working with structured datasets, reporting, and data quality controls.
• Scripting, programming, or automation experience using Python, SQL, VBA, Power Automate, or similar tools.
• Experience improving technical processes, workflows, or engineering systems.

Work Environment

• This position operates in a fast-paced product development and low-volume manufacturing environment where future product development occurs in parallel with ongoing production.
