Senior Manager Product Structure & Systems (PLM/MES)

• Product Structure & Configuration Governance BOM Mastery: Define and govern multi-level BOM structures for complex robotic systems, ensuring alignment across Engineering, Manufacturing, and Service. Modular Architecture: Support platform-based development by managing product configurations, variants, and component reuse strategies. Data Standards: Enforce rigorous part-numbering schemes, revision control, and BOM rules to maintain 100% data integrity. PLM System Ownership & Digital Thread Platform Management: Own the strategic roadmap, implementation and functional administration of the PLM environment (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, CIM Database). System Integration: Manage the technical "Digital Thread" between CAD → PLM → ERP → MES, ensuring real-time synchronization of product and manufacturing data. Release Management: Oversee the lifecycle states, access controls, and workflows for all product releases and configuration baselines. MES & Manufacturing Data Integration Production Execution: Ensure the flawless transfer of product structures from PLM to the MES for production execution. Process Definition: Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineering to define production routings, assembly sequences, and digital work instructions in the MES. Traceability: Maintain "As-Built" traceability, ensuring consistency between MES production data and ERP production orders. Engineering Change (ECM) & Continuous Improvement Change Governance: Lead the Engineering Change Request (ECR) and Order (ECO) processes, ensuring controlled propagation of changes across all systems. Optimization: Drive continuous improvement in workflows to reduce NPI (New Product Introduction) cycle times and improve manufacturing scalability. Audit & Compliance: Conduct regular product data audits and implement corrective actions to ensure "Single Source of Truth" reliability. • BOM Mastery: Define and govern multi-level BOM structures for complex robotic systems, ensuring alignment across Engineering, Manufacturing, and Service. • Modular Architecture: Support platform-based development by managing product configurations, variants, and component reuse strategies. • Data Standards: Enforce rigorous part-numbering schemes, revision control, and BOM rules to maintain 100% data integrity. • PLM System Ownership & Digital Thread Platform Management: Own the strategic roadmap, implementation and functional administration of the PLM environment (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, CIM Database).
