We're seeking an experienced Engineering Change Manager to lead our Engineering Change Control Board (CCB) and oversee the end-to-end engineering change management process. This role is responsible for ensuring that all product, process, and design changes are properly evaluated, documented, approved, and implemented — balancing engineering rigor, regulatory compliance, cost, schedule, and risk. You'll chair change review meetings, drive cross-functional alignment, and act as the gatekeeper ensuring changes don't compromise product quality, safety, or configuration integrity.

• Chair and facilitate regular Engineering Change Control Board meetings, driving structured review, discussion, and disposition of Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and Engineering Change Notices (ECNs)
• Own the change management process from initiation through implementation and closure, ensuring consistent application across all engineering changes
• Review submitted change requests for completeness, technical accuracy, and business justification prior to board review
• Coordinate cross-functional impact assessments with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, regulatory, and program management stakeholders
• Ensure changes are properly classified (e.g., major/minor, emergency, class I/II) and routed through appropriate approval workflows
• Maintain change control documentation, meeting minutes, decision logs, and audit trails in the PLM/QMS system
• Track change request status, cycle times, and backlog; report metrics to leadership on process health and bottlenecks
• Ensure traceability between change requests, requirements, design documents, and verification/validation activities
• Enforce configuration management principles to maintain product baseline integrity across hardware, software, and documentation
• Identify and elevate high-risk changes, conflicting priorities, or resource constraints to leadership
• Drive continuous improvement of the change control process, tools, and templates
• Support internal and external audits (e.g., ISO, FDA, customer audits) by ensuring change records are complete and compliant
• Train and coach engineers and stakeholders on change control procedures and best practices

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical field (or equivalent experience)
• 5+ years of experience in engineering change management, configuration management, or product lifecycle management
• Experience chairing or actively participating in change control boards (CCB) in a regulated or structured engineering environment
• Strong understanding of configuration management principles (e.g., EIA-649, ISO 10007) and change control best practices
• Hands-on experience with PLM/PDM or QMS systems (e.g., Windchill, Arena, Agile PLM, Master Control, Propel, etc)
• Excellent facilitation, meeting management, and cross-functional communication skills
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess technical and business risk
• Experience working with engineering documentation: BOMs, drawings, specifications, requirements

• Certification in configuration management (CMPIC) or quality (ASQ CQE/CQM)
