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.
Engineering degree. English proficiency. PC / 3D CAD desirable / PDM systems knowledge (Windows / CATIA V5 / Teamcenter Engineering/3DX). Microsoft Office management (Word, Excel, and Power Point). Expert in Microsoft Excel desirable (macros, VB coding). Ability to analyze complex problems and assess possible solutions. Excellent written and oral communication skills both in Spanish and English Ability to prioritize and plan effectively. A commitment to keep up to date with new technology. Excellent team working and people skills. Leadership, persuasion, and influence on others Achieve financial control file and early BOM system alignment to start Change Control Process on time. Provide early BOM system, change management process and Change Management Form (CMF) tool training to customers (Design and Release Engineer, Finance, etc.) Lead and achieve Product Direction Letter (PDL) alignment in early BOM based on Team Information Bulletins (TIB) Drive CMF resolution, tracking and development of Cost, Weight and Investment changes in early BOM system including troubleshooting. Manage Road Maps, Risks & Opportunities generation and on time disposition. Create and maintain Cost, Weight and Investment tracking file in order to preserve change history. Manage reports (Cost, Weight and Investment) to provide accurate and updated information. Lead Change Control meeting. Assure agenda content and key players’ participation. Support decision forums and program meetings Request and validate that the prototype BOM file for active program is created with accurate data. Develop a work plan for prototype BOM file management, start date, cadence and interaction model with purchasing, engineering and program management teams. Understand upcoming build module requirements and the impact to BOM / purchasing system blanket order requirements. Follow up issues on prototype BOM and contact the responsible/owner of the part(s) so all required information is entered in the prototype BOM. Update Purchasing comments with the latest Causal codes and drive resolution of all engineering issues required to progress purchasing system blanket orders (both qualified and non-qualified parts) Review and analyze all changes in the early BOM system to determine the proper action in the PLM system to maintain systems aligned. Support reviews to digital bucks and drive issues to closure Lead strategy for a smart digital representation in the PLM system of the design intent, avoiding over and under representation of parts declared in the early BOM system.
