• Product Configuration Manager

    Actalent (Austin, TX)


    We’re hiring a Configuration Manager to lead product definition, audit compliance, and part traceability across complex engineering programs. If you’re passionate about structured data, version control, and making sure every part has a purpose and a paper trail—this is your kind of role.

     

    You’ll be the central authority on how parts, subassemblies, and platforms are reused, revised, and controlled. This isn’t a tooling-heavy position—it’s about owning the product structure, enforcing standards, and keeping everything audit-ready across engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing teams.

    What You’ll Do

    + Maintain structured relationships between parts, subassemblies, and top-level platforms

    + Own the item master for designed and procured parts across multiple programs

    + Ensure all product data is version-controlled, baselined, and fully traceable

    + Govern how items are reused or revised across configurations

    + Validate MBOM alignment with product configuration baselines

    + Oversee configuration changes in line with EIA-649, ASME Y14.5, ISO 9001, and internal standards

    + Coordinate release schedules to avoid version conflicts and divergence

    + Maintain digital records to support audit readiness and compliance

    + Collaborate with PLM and CAD teams to ensure systems support configuration governance

    What You Bring

    + 5+ years in configuration management or product data governance

    + Deep understanding of product structure, interchangeability, and configuration rules

    + Experience with engineering change control, drawing versioning, and part release workflows

    + Familiarity with standards like EIA-649, ASME Y14.5, ISO 9001, or MIL-STD equivalents

    + Hands-on experience with PLM/PDM systems (Teamcenter preferred)

    + Comfortable navigating engineering and manufacturing BOMs

    + Strong documentation, audit prep, and version traceability skills

    + Confidence enforcing standards across engineering, supply chain, and program teams

    Why You’ll Love It Here

    + 100% paid medical for employees, 80% for dependents

    + Dental, vision, life, and disability insurance

    + Generous PTO, paid holidays, and parental leave

    + Competitive salary + performance bonuses

    + 401(k) plan + stock options

    + Free lunch and unlimited snacks/drinks in-office

     

    If you’re ready to bring structure, clarity, and compliance to high-impact engineering programs, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or reach out to learn more!
