About The Position

The Product Data Management (PDM) Engineer serves as the primary technical authority for engineering data integrity, configuration control, and release governance. This role is responsible for leading the execution of structured PDM workflows, managing complex multi-level BOM architectures, and overseeing the formal engineering change process (ECR/ECO/ECN). While primarily focused on lifecycle management and data standards, the PDM Engineer must possess a deep-rooted background in mechanical engineering principles to ensure that CAD models, drawings, and technical specifications are robust, manufacturable, and accurately represented within the PDM environment. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, the PDM Engineer bridges the gap between design intent and downstream execution, ensuring that all engineering deliverables meet the rigorous standards required for manufacturing, supply chain, and ERP integration.
