Job Description
What You'll Be Doing:
Your responsibility will be to ensure the organization operates from accurate, consistent, and dependable data.You will:
- Define and implement how master data is created, structured, maintained, and retired—from engineering design in Autodesk Inventor through Windchill, Oracle, and into Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Establish processes, workflows, and governance that ensure data is created correctly at the source
- Leverage tools for classification, validation, and enrichment (e.g., DFR/DFS, Engineering Toolkit, QA validation tools) to embed standards into workflows
- Identify and resolve data quality issues at the root cause
- Address urgent data issues when necessary while driving long-term fixes
- Partner with IT to improve data flow between systems
- Define ownership and accountability for key data elements
- Lead cross-functional alignment on data definitions and standards
- Support both new product development (NPD) and new part introduction (NPI) through clear, consistent data practices You will ensure alignment across product structures (xBOM), including eBOM, mBOM, and sBOM, and define how data transitions between them.
Examples of Impact:
- Improve data flow from Autodesk Inventor through Windchill into Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Improve part release into ERP with correct manufacturing and organizational context
- Enable smoother NPD and NPI through complete and aligned product data
- Clarify relationships between eBOM, mBOM, and sBOM
- Reduce duplicate and inconsistent part data
- Improve manufacturing execution through accurate BOMs
- Strengthen spare parts identification and availability
- Reduce dependency on engineering for downstream data issues
- Decrease reliance on manual data fixes through system-driven controls
- Enable future capabilities such as customer portals and self-service spare parts catalogs
Why This Matters:
Poor data leads to delayed launches, manufacturing errors, procurement inefficiencies, and service challenges. It also pulls engineering into downstream problem-solving. This role addresses those issues at their source by ensuring data is correct when created. The goal is not to manage data manually, but to build systems and processes that make correct data the default.What We're Looking For:
- 5+ years of experience in master data, ERP/PLM systems, or related roles and a Associates degree in a relevant field or 2+ years of experience and a Bachelors degree in a relevant field.
- Experience with Oracle, Windchill, and/or Autodesk Inventor or similar software
- Exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a plus
- Familiarity with classification/validation tools (e.g., DFR/DFS or similar)
- Strong understanding of product data (parts, BOMs, attributes)
- Experience with eBOM, mBOM, sBOM or similar structures
- Manufacturing or engineering environment experience
- Familiarity with spare parts or lifecycle service data is a plus
- Ability to translate complex problems into clear data rules
- Strong collaboration and problem-solving skills Organizational Scope This role is positioned within Engineering due to the upstream creation of product data and reports to the Engineering Systems Information Group Manager, while operating with enterprise-wide responsibility.
