Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the configuration lifecycle around the creation, revision, and maintenance of design documentation, including bills of materials (BOMs), engineering drawings, specifications, and technical manuals, protecting configuration data while ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations such as AS9100, ISO 10007 & EIA 649.
• Maintain a robust change management process to evaluate and approve design changes, considering the impact on safety, performance, and regulatory compliance, and ensuring design changes are documented accurately within the configuration management system.
• Plan and conduct regular configuration audits to verify compliance with design requirements, safety standards, and regulatory guidelines.
• Support and maintain the creation of specific configuration documentation required in support of customer programmes.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement within the configuration management process, seeking opportunities to enhance efficiency and accuracy while adhering to regulatory standards.

Skills and Experience Required

• Degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering with previous proven experience in a design and development environment.
• Familiarity with aerospace industry regulations and standards, including but not limited to AS9100, ISO 9001, FAR Part regulations, DO‑178C, DO‑254, ARP‑4754, ARP‑4761, ISO 10007, EIA 649 and others.
