Configuration Management Specialist
Location: San Diego, California (92121)
Reports To: Director of Engineering
Salary: Open
MUST HAVES (In order of priority):
1. Candidate needs to have experience or growth capability to move into a supervisory position as our division here in San Diego grows. I am not looking to hire a CM data entry person. Supervisory would mean managing 1 or more data entry people in the future.
2. Conversely, needs to be "hands on" willing and capable to fulfill near to intermediate term CM data entry needs in San Diego. This means CM experience with BOM entry, ECOs, part numbering, product release. Essentially a 1 person shop initially with resource support from our “out of state” CM team as needed.
3. Must have experience and knowledge of New Product Introduction (NPI) and manufacturing practices in a hardware product production environment. Candidate will interface / be a liaison between engineering and production for product release processing and engineering pre-release management (i.e. prototype and beta product build tracking).
4. Must be highly detail oriented. High accuracy is a mandatory.
5. Working knowledge / experience with SAP a big plus.
