Engineer V, Configuration Management

The Engineer V, Configuration Management is a foundational technical leader responsible for overseeing and ensuring implementation of configuration management for our multiple projects. This individual will provide guidance and influence X-energy’s Program leadership in the execution of all phases of Configuration and Data Management (CDM) principles (Planning, Identification, Change Control, Status Accounting, Verification/Audits, and Data Management).

• Review and manage proposed changes to hardware and software to ensure all updates are properly evaluated, approved, documented and incorporated into the controlled configuration baseline.
• Maintain configuration status accounting records, including the master list of parts, versions, and revisions, to ensure released and built configurations remain aligned with approved engineering documentation.
• Establish, maintain, and continuously improve the configuration source of truth across multiple projects by reviewing historical configuration data, resolving inconsistencies, and standardizing controlled records.
• Serve as the primary liaison between engineering, manufacturing, and quality functions to ensure teams work from the correct, current, and approved design information.
• Manage part traceability, including serial number and lot number tracking, to support complete component identification and lifecycle traceability across products and projects.
• Evaluate the impact of proposed changes on downstream documentation, manufacturing readiness, quality records, and configuration integrity.
• Support configuration audits, status reviews, and internal assessments by preparing accurate records, identifying gaps, and driving resolution of discrepancies.
• Develop, implement, and refine digital tools, databases, and workflow processes that improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of configuration data.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen configuration management practices, reduce manual effort, and improve visibility into design, build, and release status.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders to resolve configuration issues, support change control decisions, and maintain disciplined adherence to configuration management procedures.
• Provide technical guidance on configuration requirements, records management, and traceability expectations to project teams and functional partners.
• Coordinate with engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance to plan and manage product baselines and documentation.
• Conduct configuration audits to verify conformance of requirements and facilitate resolution of discrepancies.
• Provide expert guidance and support on configuration management best practices to project teams.
• Review and analyze released engineering change data, coordinating updates between engineering, quality, manufacturing and data control teams.
• Maintain professional demeanor in all forms of communication and perform other duties as assigned in support of engineering, product configuration, and project execution needs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline from an accredited college or university.
• 15+ years of progressive experience in configuration management, engineering change control, document control, product data management, or a related technical discipline.
• Experience managing configuration records, engineering changes, and traceability data in a complex technical environment.
• Experience in systems engineering and understanding of the product life cycle.
• Strong understanding of configuration management principles, including baselines, change control, status accounting, and traceability.
• Experience reviewing technical data for accuracy, completeness, and consistency across engineering, manufacturing, and quality functions.
• Ability to interpret and reconcile historical configuration information across multiple projects or product lines.
• Experience working in highly regulated or controlled environments, preferably within nuclear, aerospace, defense, energy, or advanced manufacturing industries.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and…
