About The Position

Saronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms. We are hiring a Configuration Manager focused on core product definition, audit compliance, and part traceability across programs. This individual is responsible for maintaining the structured relationships between parts, subassemblies, and top-level platforms—ensuring version-controlled consistency across our engineering, manufacturing, and sustainment environments. This role acts as the central authority for how items (designed or procured) are reused, revised, and controlled across multiple programs. The Configuration Manager – Product will work closely with engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and leadership to ensure that product configurations are accurate, auditable, and aligned to contract and regulatory expectations. This is the control point for configuration management at Saronic. It is not a tooling-heavy role but rather one that requires high attention to detail, fluency in product structure, and confidence enforcing standards across teams.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in configuration management, product data governance, or related roles
Deep familiarity with product structure: items, subassemblies, configurations, alternates, and interchangeability rules
Working knowledge of engineering change control (ECOs), drawing versioning, and part release processes
Familiarity with configuration and documentation standards such as EIA-649, ASME Y14.5, ISO 9001, or MIL-STD equivalents
Experience working with PLM/PDM systems (Teamcenter preferred) to manage product definitions and revision histories
Comfortable navigating engineering BOMs, manufacturing BOMs, and how they diverge across programs
Ability to collaborate and enforce data discipline across engineering, operations, supply chain, and program management
Strong documentation, audit preparation, and version traceability skills
This role requires access to export-controlled information or items that require “U.S. Person” status. As defined by U.S. law, individuals who are any one of the following are considered to be a “U.S. Person”: (1) U.S. citizens, (2) legal permanent residents (a.k.a. green card holders), and (3) certain protected classes of asylees and refugees, as defined in 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3).

Responsibilities

Maintain structured part and assembly relationships across all platforms and variants
Own the item master definition for Saronic’s parts, subassemblies, and COTS items across programs
Ensure all product data is version-controlled, baselined, and auditable at the component, system, and platform level
Govern how items and designs are reused or revised across multiple configurations, with clear traceability
Partner with manufacturing engineering to validate MBOM alignment to the product configuration baseline
Review and oversee configuration changes ensuring they are properly documented and traceable in accordance with EIA-649, ASME Y14.5, ISO 9001, and internal practices
Coordinate configuration planning and release schedules across programs to avoid version conflicts and unapproved divergence
Support audit readiness by maintaining a complete digital record of product configurations and associated approvals
Collaborate with the PLM Systems Architect and CAD Administrator to ensure systems and data structures support configuration governance
