This position plays a key role in supporting engineering updates, validating design changes, and maintaining configuration integrity across platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Review, update, and maintain Creo models and engineering drawings to ensure accuracy and alignment with system requirements

• Evaluate engineering change notices (ECNs) and implement design revisions within Creo

• Support machine layout and configuration management across large assemblies

• Maintain and update Bills of Material (BOMs) and ensure proper configuration control

• Experience working with large assemblies and configuration-driven environments

• Familiarity with BOM structures and engineering change processes

Important Candidate Requirements

• This is an onsite position (no remote work available)

• Candidates must have hands-on Creo experience —this is a core requirement for success in the role

• This role is designed for early- to mid-career engineers ; candidates with advanced degrees (Master’s level) are not aligned with the scope of this position
