Define and drive the future-state operating model for structuring and governing engineering standards, requirements, and interfaces.
Ensure configuration practices are consistent and scalable across product lines and lifecycle stages.
Lead the Systems Engineering transformation of product structures in alignment with Systems Engineering 2030 principles.
Establish system structuring logic connecting product definition, requirements, interfaces, and plant-level execution.
Promote systems thinking within the Configuration Management community and partner functions.
Functionally lead senior and lead Configuration Management professionals, providing coaching, direction, and development support.
Set team priorities, align work to business needs, and ensure effective execution.
Own the strategy and governance for system-level requirements definition and rationalization in PLM.
Define and maintain interface structures across systems, product lines, and plant environments.
Ensure product requirements are logically structured, traceable, and aligned with engineering and manufacturing needs.
Align plant system structures with product structures and engineering standards.
Ensure consistency among PLM, plant systems, and MBE models, and establish practices for maintaining structural integrity across digital environments.
Develop and maintain processes for standards management, verification, quality measurement, and audit.
Establish objective measures of configuration quality, standards compliance, and process maturity.
Lead continuous improvement based on audit findings, metrics, and business needs.
Execute cross-functional priorities with engineering, manufacturing, digital, and operational stakeholders; build alignment to resolve dependencies and advance initiatives.
Translate business priorities into executable technical outcomes in partnership with stakeholders.
Assess systems, rationalize product structures, and simplify requirements; define effective system-structuring characteristics and support product-line requirements decisions.
