Job Description
Key Responsibilities
- Own and maintain the product configurator (AC1) platform, translating engineering logic and product structure into accurate, user-friendly configuration rules.
- Develop and manage data pipelines to support the flow of configuration data into SAP & potentially other engineering design tools.
- Set up and manage production Bills of Materials (BOMs) in SAP, ensuring accurate, version-controlled, and production-ready product structures.
- Partner with design engineering teams to interpret and digitize mechanical rules, constraints, and variants into structured configuration logic.
- Build tools, scripts, and dashboards for data validation, automation, and reporting on configuration usage and product complexity.
- Support integration of the configurator with other enterprise tools to ensure seamless data flow and traceability across the product lifecycle.
- Act as the subject matter expert for product data architecture and governance, ensuring scalability and consistency.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to validate BOMs and ensure manufacturability of configured outputs.
Qualifications
Required:
- 5 years of experience in engineering, data engineering, or configuration/data systems roles.
- Strong understanding of mechanical products, BOMs, and product structure in an ETO (engineered to order) environment.
- Experience working with SAP to manage BOMs, material masters, and production data.
- Proficiency in SQL and Python for data automation and pipeline development.
- Experience working with configuration systems (e.g., Configure One, Tacton, Salesforce CPQ, or similar).
- Ability to lead technical initiatives and collaborate across engineering, operations, and IT.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with PLM systems and CAD data integration.
- Experience with data pipeline tools (e.g., dbt, Airflow) or cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure).
- Exposure to CPQ systems and variant management in commercial tools.
- Experience with dashboards or BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
You'll Thrive in This Role If You...
- Combine mechanical engineering intuition with data-driven systems thinking.
- Enjoy being the go-to expert for product structure, configuration, and data flow.
- Take pride in building reliable, scalable solutions that bridge engineering and manufacturing.
- Are excited about driving continuous improvement through automation, analytics, and clean data.
