BOM Engineer

Job Description

As a BOM Engineer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the completeness and quality of the Bill of Materials (BOM) throughout the Change Management Process and during prototype builds. Your responsibilities will include:

Coordination and Quality Assurance: Ensure that the BOM is complete and accurate, supporting the seamless execution of Change Management processes.

Impact Analysis: Monitor and track the impact of changes on material costs, weight, and investment from the early stages through to program approval.

Collaboration with Prototype Purchasing: Work closely with the Prototype Purchasing team to qualify the Prototype BOM, facilitating the initiation of the Prototype Sourcing process.

Support for Prototype Fit Process: Ensure the BOM aligns with the design intent and is accurately represented in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, ensuring that prototypes fit and function as intended.

Data Integrity: Maintain and update the BOM in the PLM system (TcE), ensuring that all changes are reflected accurately and in a timely manner.

Your expertise will be vital in aligning design intent with physical prototypes, contributing to the overall success of product development and approval processes. This position requires a detail-oriented professional with strong analytical skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple departments.
