Process initial releases and change-control releases for supplier-owned service parts.
Coordinate with suppliers to resolve program issues and support production requirements.
Communicate release information to CAD teams for Teamcenter 3D model updates.
Lead and facilitate cross-functional meetings including Design & Function (DF), Change Control (CC), Software Change Control, and Service meetings.
Drive Total Value Management (TVM) savings initiatives and track supplier-generated cost improvements through CRID.
Support ongoing production activities, launch readiness efforts, and business plan objectives.
Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Logistics, Finance, Purchasing, Studio, Marketing, Capacity Planning, New Model Programs, Launch teams, and suppliers to ensure program success.

Requirements:

3-5 years of experience in automotive program management, product development, engineering release, or a related field.
Recent vehicle launch and/or change-control experience within the last 5 years.
Experience managing Engineering Change Notifications (ECNs), Engineering Change Management (ECM), Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), and Change Requests (CRs).
Experience with BOM management and reconciliation activities.
Experience aligning engineering BOMs with financial data.
Demonstrated experience tracking production inventory and minimizing obsolescence during engineering changes and production switchovers.
Experience leading technical and operational meetings with cross-functional teams and suppliers.
Strong supplier coordination and program management experience.
Strong cost engineering and change control skills.
Experience using WERS system
Ability to work independently, drive issue resolution, and thrive in a less-structured, low-volume production environment.

Technical engineering background.
Experience with Manufacturing Bills of Material (MBOM).
