Ensure engineering changes are properly documented, communicated, and implemented across affected functions.

Maintain accurate revision histories and ensure drawings, specifications, BOMs, and related technical documentation remain current.

Establish and maintain disciplined documentation standards to support product integrity, traceability, and production readiness.

Partner with Engineering and Operations to assess the operational, inventory, procurement, and production impacts of proposed changes.

Ensure obsolete or superseded components are appropriately identified and transitioned through the product life cycle.

ERP & Master Data Configuration (Business Central):

Lead the hands-on configuration of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for engineering data structures.

Set up and maintain engineering Bills of Materials (BOMs), routings, and item cards.

Manage product life cycles within the ERP, including creating new part numbers, transitioning active components, and formally obsoleting end-of-life parts.

Ensure seamless data alignment between engineering releases and procurement/inventory systems to eliminate production bottlenecks and scrap.
