Principal PLM Systems Engineer

Role Overview

• Manage complex BOMs, ideally in hardware, rack integration, or systems-level environments (L11/L12).
• Own and execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Engineering Change Requests (ECRs).
• Collaborate closely with Solutions Architects and Factory Product Engineers to ensure accurate BOMs are enabled for MRP.
• Act as the primary source and gatekeeper for released product data, preventing uncontrolled changes, or data misalignment.
• Partner with mechanical, electrical, and integration engineers to ensure alignment between designs, BOMs, and documentation release.
• Support rapid execution of engineering changes without compromising configuration integrity or audit readiness.
• Define and enforce naming conventions, numbering schemes, and classification rules.
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) programs and scaling processes across multiple concurrent builds.
• Initiate change notices to release new BOMs and BOM changes to the appropriate factory.
• Lead the design and deployment of a centralized, cross-functional database to standardize, manage, and track Jabil’s L11 hardware and supplier ecosystem across the Intelligent Infrastructure organization.
• Work directly with rack integration, power, and electrical team members to organize and manage their technical documentation including datasheets, specifications, manuals, and drawings for easy retrieval and reuse.
• Utilize database tools to build out customized data environments (i.e. SQL, Access, SharePoint) for scalable data repositories.
• Create APIs or macros to streamline Excel to PLM integration and database to Excel automation supporting rack integration builds.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, or related field is required
• Minimum of 5+ years’ experience in PLM systems, configuration management, release worklogs, and engineering change processes in complex engineering environments.
• Deep working knowledge of PLM tools (i.e. Windchill, Agile, SAP)
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills – a must
• Strong understanding of Excel, automation, BOM, mechanical systems, lifecycle management, and program management.
