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.

- 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.
