Work closely with design engineering to ensure accurate product applicability and alignment with technical requirements.
Support proposal teams by matching available configurations with customer requirements to maximize reuse.
Partner with supply chain to integrate product data with ERP and improve end-to-end configuration accuracy.
Facilitate change management by documenting and communicating configuration updates.
