Part Number, BOM & Product Structure Management

• Create and maintain part numbers, BOMs, BOOs, and manufacturing methods/routings, and review product structures for accuracy and manufacturability.
• Help maintain SOPs and standardized practices for part creation, drawing numbering, revisions, and documentation.

New Product Development

• Support New Product Development (NPD) by developing detailed drawings and product structures from concepts and models, and supporting prototypes, testing, and release.
• Work with Manufacturing and Supply Chain to incorporate manufacturability and supplier feedback and transition new designs into production.

Sustaining Engineering

• Associate degree, technical diploma, or equivalent experience in Mechanical Design, Drafting, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Significant experience preparing manufacturing and mechanical engineering drawings, with strong 2D/3D CAD skills and working knowledge of GD&T and drawing standards.
• Experience creating and maintaining BOMs and product structures, with engineering revisions and configuration/document control.
• Good understanding of machining and fabrication processes, and the ability to translate engineering requirements into production-ready documentation with strong attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, Project Management, and Sales.

Preferred

• Experience in engineered-to-order or configurable-product environments using ERP, PLM, or document-control systems.
• Experience with part numbers, BOMs, BOOs, customer-facing GADs, NPD, and sustaining engineering.
