About Us
We design and manufacture slurry pumps, dredging systems, excavator attachments, and power units used in mining, marine, construction, oil & gas, and wastewater. We’re building out our Tijuana engineering/manufacturing center and need a Configuration / PLM Administrator to keep product data clean, controlled, and flowing from design to the shop floor.
The Role (What You’ll Own)
- PLM/PDM Administration: Own the CAD vault and PLM—users, permissions, workflows, templates, data cards, numbering schemes, revision rules, backups, and upgrades. (SolidWorks PDM Pro preferred; Arena/Agile/Teamcenter/Windchill also valued.)
- Change Control (ECR/ECN): Run the full change process—intake, routing, CCB meetings, effectivity, release—ensuring drawings, models, specs, and BOMs are synchronized.
- BOM Governance: Maintain EBOMs in PLM and coordinate EBOM→MBOM handoff to ERP (Epicor); manage part masters, alternates/substitutes, AML/AVL, and configuration options.
- Document Control: Create and control SOPs, work instructions, test procedures, and manuals; ensure ISO 9001 compliance and audit readiness.
- Data Quality & Migration: Clean legacy data, normalize metadata/attributes, and drive standard naming/numbering and classification.
- Integrations & Automation: Support or develop basic scripts/queries (e.g., PowerShell/SQL/API) to improve release, prints, and report generation.
- Training & Support: Coach engineers, planners, and shop users on PLM/ECN best practices; run quick guides/job aids; first-line support for PDM/PLM issues.
- KPIs & Reporting: Track and publish ECN cycle time, past-due changes, BOM accuracy, right-first-time release, and vault uptime.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Process redlines from manufacturing/service into controlled updates.
- Ensure released revisions and correct BOMs are what the shop builds from.
- Coordinate with Quality (deviations/waivers), Supply Chain (AML/AVL), and Operations (work instructions).
- Prepare export packs for suppliers (neutral CAD, PDFs, spec sets) with correct revs.
- Support first-article builds and part approvals (FAI/PPAP documentation).
- Participate in cross-border builds and meetings with the San Diego team.
What You Bring
- 3–7+ years in Configuration Management / PLM / Document Control within a manufacturing environment.
- Hands-on admin experience with SolidWorks PDM Professional or comparable PLM; strong understanding of revision control, effectivity, and change workflows.
- Working knowledge of ERP/MRP (Epicor preferred) for item/BOM/routing alignment.
- Able to read mechanical drawings (GD&T basics), understand weldments/sheet-metal/machined parts and assemblies.
- Process mindset with excellent attention to detail and follow-through.
- Bilingual Spanish/English (written and spoken).
Nice to Have
- Experience in pumps/rotating equipment or heavy fabrication.
- ISO 9001/AS9100 audit exposure; quality tools (RCCA/5-Why).
- Scripting/reporting (PowerShell, SQL, API), PDM replication, or data migration projects.
- Familiarity with AML/AVL, compliance (RoHS/REACH), and export-controlled docs.
Success Metrics
- ECN cycle time ↓, past-due ECNs → zero trend
- BOM accuracy / first-pass release ≥ 98%
- Vault uptime ≥ 99.5% and ticket response < 1 business day
What We Offer
- Competitive MX compensation & benefits
- Ownership of the PLM/CM backbone of the business
- Growth path to PLM/CM Lead or Engineering Operations Manager
- Collaborative Tijuana–San Diego team with fast decisions
