Full Time Shift: SHIFT1

In 1903, out of a small shed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, four young men lit a cultural wildfire that would grow and spread across geographies and generations. Their innovation and imagination for what was possible on two wheels sparked a transportation revolution that would make Harley-Davidson the most recognizable motorcycle brand in the world. Today, we continue to define motorcycle culture, evoking soul-stirring emotion reflected in every product and experience we deliver - like we have for well over a century and will for generations to come.

Are you ready to ride with us?

The Harley-Davidson Motor Company Product Development Center (PDC) located in Wauwatosa, WI is home to the mantra - You dream it. We build it. Join our team as a Vehicle Assembly Document Coordinator.

The Vehicle Assembly Document Coordinator creates, maintains and owns accurate product line-wide vehicle assembly documentation (aka "Build Book" - our single source of truth for the assembly of the world's greatest motorcycles). This documentation typically spans several model years, all international configurations, and requires managing change forward to future build books concurrently. The role is highly integrated with Vehicle Engineering, Data Management, and Global Advanced Manufacturing and requires daily collaboration and communication to ensure stakeholder needs are met.

Motorcycle design, maintenance and assembly knowledge will be advantageous.

• Create, revise, and release Build Books (BBKs), establishing vehicle assembly documentation baselines and incorporating approved engineering changes through the ECN process.
• Add and maintain model and configuration-specific content within Build Books, including part numbers, fastener specifications, quantities, color codes, and trim codes in accordance with released engineering documentation.
• Coordinate and maintain vehicle assembly documentation, ensuring Build Book content is accurate, current, and aligned with approved engineering releases.

• Ensure vehicle build book documentation accurately reflects the approved and locked vehicle configuration.
• Evaluate and coordinate implementation of configuration scope changes (CSC's), identifying required cross-functional support and updating vehicle assembly documentation accordingly.
• Create and maintain engineering change documentation to support configuration updates and ensure traceability.

• Support 3-Way and 4-Way reviews with assembly plants to ensure alignment with standard work.
• Understand and navigate vehicle Bill of Material (BOM) structure and relationships to support accurate product documentation.
