We're seeking an experienced Engineering Change Manager to lead our Engineering Change Control Board (CCB) and oversee the end-to-end engineering change management process. This role is responsible for ensuring that all product, process, and design changes are properly evaluated, documented, approved, and implemented — balancing engineering rigor, regulatory compliance, cost, schedule, and risk.

  • Review submitted change requests for completeness, technical accuracy, and business justification prior to board review
  • Coordinate cross-functional impact assessments with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, regulatory, and program management stakeholders
  • Ensure changes are properly classified (e.g., major/minor, emergency, class I/II) and routed through appropriate approval workflows
  • Maintain change control documentation, meeting minutes, decision logs, and audit trails in the PLM/QMS system
  • Track change request status, cycle times, and backlog; report metrics to leadership on process health and bottlenecks
  • Ensure traceability between change requests, requirements, design documents, and verification/validation activities
  • Enforce configuration management principles to maintain product baseline integrity across hardware, software, and documentation
  • Identify and escalate high-risk changes, conflicting priorities, or resource constraints to leadership
  • Drive continuous improvement of the change control process, tools, and templates
  • Support internal and external audits (e.g., ISO, FDA, customer audits) by ensuring change records are complete and compliant
  • Train and coach engineers and stakeholders on change control procedures and best practices

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years of experience in engineering change management, configuration management, or product lifecycle management
  • Experience chairing or actively participating in change control boards (CCB) in a regulated or structured engineering environment
  • Strong understanding of configuration management principles (e.g., EIA-649, ISO 10007) and change control best practices
  • Hands-on experience with PLM/PDM or QMS systems (e.g., Windchill, Arena, Agile PLM, MasterControl, Propel, etc)
  • Excellent facilitation, meeting management, and cross-functional communication skills
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess technical and business risk
  • Experience working with engineering documentation: BOMs, drawings, specifications, requirements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certification in configuration management (CMPIC) or quality (ASQ CQE/CQM)
  • Experience with Agile/hardware-software co-development environments
  • Six Sigma or Lean process improvement experience
  • Prior people management or team leadership experience

Key Competencies

  • Strong facilitation and conflict resolution skills — able to drive consensus among competing stakeholder interests
  • Detail-oriented with rigorous documentation habits
  • Comfortable balancing speed of execution with process discipline
  • Clear, concise communicator able to present to both technical teams and executive leadership
  • Sound judgment under ambiguity and pressure

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
