Lead PLM Configuration Engineer - Data Center Infrastructure

Jabil is a trusted partner for top brands, offering engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions. The Lead PLM Configuration Engineer is responsible for configuration control and lifecycle governance of CAD models, BOMs, and technical documentation, ensuring data integrity and alignment across various domains throughout the product lifecycle.

Responsibilities:

• Own and execute end-to-end configuration control for CAD models, BOMs and technical documentation within the PLM system
• Act as the authoritative source and gatekeeper for released product data, preventing uncontrolled changes, orphaned revisions or data misalignment
• Ensure consistent application of revision rules, lifecycle states and release criteria across all engineering artifacts
• Maintain tight synchronization between CAD structures, EBOMs and released documentation
• Own and enforce ECR/ECN workflows, ensuring changes are properly justified, reviewed, approved and traceable
• Manage effectivity, as-built vs. as-designed alignment and revision applicability across programs and product variants
• Support rapid yet disciplined execution of engineering changes without compromising configuration integrity or audit readiness
• Ensure historical traceability of changes across the full product lifecycle
• Perform PLM librarian functions, including structure management, metadata accuracy, access control and data hygiene
• Define and enforce naming conventions, numbering schemes and classification rules
• Identify and resolve configuration discrepancies, duplicate records and data integrity risks
• Serve as escalation point for complex configuration or release conflicts
• Partner closely with mechanical and electrical CAD engineers to ensure alignment between designs, BOMs and documentation at release
• Work with manufacturing, quality, supply chain and production teams to ensure released data supports downstream execution and traceability
• Participate as a technical contributor in design reviews, release readiness reviews, and change control boards
• Ensure PLM data structures support customer audits, compliance reviews and internal governance requirements
• Provide traceable, auditable records linking requirements, designs, changes and released configurations
• Support customer and third-party audits by producing accurate configuration histories and impact assessments

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or equivalent professional experience
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in PLM, configuration management or product data governance in complex engineering environments
• Deep working knowledge of PLM systems (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, Agile, etc.), release workflows and engineering change processes
• Demonstrated experience enforcing configuration discipline across multi-domain engineering teams
• Strong understanding of CAD / BOM / document relationships and lifecycle alignment
• Ability to operate independently as a senior technical authority
• Experience supporting complex electromechanical systems (e.g., cooling systems, CDUs, industrial infrastructure)
• Background in NPI and sustaining engineering environments with frequent design change
• Experience supporting customer, regulatory or quality audits
• Familiarity with configuration challenges associated with product variants, options and regional differences
