[Hiring] Lead PLM Configuration Engineer - Data Center Infrastructure @Jabil

Role Description

The Lead PLM Configuration Engineer is an individual contributor responsible for disciplined configuration control and lifecycle governance of all CAD models, BOMs, and technical documentation within the PLM system. This role acts as the system authority ensuring data integrity, traceability, and alignment across mechanical, electrical, and documentation domains throughout concept, NPI, production, and sustaining phases.

The position owns revision management, baselining, effectiveness, and ECR/ECN workflows, preventing data divergence while enabling scalable, repeatable engineering operations. The role is critical to supporting customer audits, compliance requirements, and product lifecycle traceability in complex, configuration-driven product environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or equivalent professional experience.
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in PLM, configuration management, or product data governance in complex engineering environments.
• Deep working knowledge of PLM systems (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, Agile, etc.), release workflows, and engineering change processes.
• Demonstrated experience enforcing configuration discipline across multi-domain engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of CAD/BOM/document relationships and lifecycle alignment.
• Ability to operate independently as a senior technical authority.

Requirements

• Own and execute end-to-end configuration control for CAD models, BOMs, and technical documentation within the PLM system.
• Act as the authoritative source and gatekeeper for released product data, preventing uncontrolled changes, orphaned revisions, or data misalignment.
• Ensure consistent application of revision rules, lifecycle states, and release criteria across all engineering artifacts.
• Maintain tight synchronization between CAD structures, EBOMs, and released documentation.
• Own and enforce ECR/ECN workflows, ensuring changes are properly justified, reviewed, approved, and traceable.
• Manage effectivity, as-built vs. as-designed alignment, and revision applicability across programs and product variants.
• Support rapid yet disciplined execution of engineering changes without compromising configuration integrity or audit readiness.
• Ensure historical traceability of changes across the full product lifecycle.
• Perform PLM librarian functions, including structure management, metadata accuracy, access control, and data hygiene.
• Define and enforce naming conventions, numbering schemes, and classification rules.
• Identify and resolve configuration discrepancies, duplicate records, and data integrity risks.
• Serve as escalation point for complex configuration or release conflicts.
• Partner closely with mechanical and electrical CAD engineers to ensure alignment between designs, BOMs, and documentation at release.
• Work with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and production teams to ensure released data supports downstream execution and traceability.
• Participate as a technical contributor in design reviews, release readiness reviews, and change control boards.
• Ensure PLM data structures support customer audits, compliance reviews, and internal governance requirements.
• Provide traceable, auditable records linking requirements, designs, changes, and released configurations.
• Support customer and third-party audits by producing accurate configuration histories and impact assessments.

Benefits

• Paid time off accruing at a rate of 3.07 hours during your first year of employment.
• 4 weeks of paid parental leave.
• 11 company-paid holidays (9 fixed holidays and 2 optional floating holidays), subject to change yearly.
