Engineering PLM Coordinator

Matrix designs, manufactures, and sells innovative technological products that help keep people safe. Originally focused on the underground coal mining industry, Matrix has expanded into new industrial markets in the United States and globally.

We are looking for a detail-oriented and experienced PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) Coordinator to join our engineering team. The PLM Coordinator plays a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, consistency, and completeness of product data throughout the product lifecycle. This position involves working closely with design engineers, manufacturing teams, procurement, and supply chain departments to create, maintain, and manage BOMs for various products and projects.

As a PLM Coordinator, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining structured BOMs that reflect the design intent and manufacturing requirements. You will ensure that all components, subassemblies, and materials are correctly documented and updated in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system and align with the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in engineering or manufacturing, excellent attention to detail, and proficiency in PLM and ERP systems.

You should be comfortable interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, and change orders, and be able to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams. If you are passionate about data accuracy, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration, this is a great opportunity to contribute to the success of innovative engineering projects. This position works in a team environment at our home office in Newburgh, IN.
