Create and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs) and product configurations within our PLM/PDM systems.

Perform part number creation and verification, ensuring accuracy and consistency across product lines.

Support Requests for Quote (RFQs) by reviewing and validating engineering details, ensuring customer requirements are clearly defined and technically feasible.

Provide technical support for sales and pre-sales engineering tickets, clarifying technical questions and verifying product-selector outputs.

Collaborate remotely with teams in Manufacturing, Product Management, and Quality, providing clear documentation and resolving configuration issues.

3+ years relevant experience in mechanical or project engineering, particularly within rotating machinery, fluid-handling, or related industries.

Experience designing or configuring custom mechanical components, assemblies, or systems tailored to specific customer needs.

Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks or Onshape preferred) and familiarity with PLM/PDM systems.

Proven ability to manage detailed documentation, BOMs, and technical specifications accurately.

Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal—must comfortably collaborate remotely with global teams.

Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple concurrent tasks independently.
