Manufacturing & PLM Planning Specialist

Acculon Energy is seeking a Manufacturing & PLM Planning Specialist to

serve as a critical bridge between Manufacturing Operations and Design Engineering. This role is responsible for establishing and governing the "digital thread"—the foundational data backbone—while simultaneously ensuring those structures successfully drive our production schedules for advanced battery modules and battery packs.

This unique position combines Master Data Governance with

Core Production Planning, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM),

Engineering Change Control (ECR/ECO) into a single, high-impact role. You will

ensure that what engineering designs is flawlessly translated into accurate, buildable operational plans.

Key Focus Areas

Manufacturing Planning & Operations: Leverage our ERP/MRP ecosystem

(Odoo) to translate released PLM data into actionable manufacturing

orders, accurate routings, and master production schedules. You will

ensure that inventory targets, supplier lead times, and capacity

constraints align with the engineering roadmap.

PLM & Engineering Data Control: Serve as the primary business owner

and super-user for the PLM ecosystem. You will govern the data

architecture, enforce strict data discipline, and manage the seamless

translation of Engineering Bills of Materials (eBOMs) into

Manufacturing Bills of Materials (mBOMs) with accurate part attributes

and revision histories.

Engineering Change Management: Coordinate and accelerate the

Engineering Change Order (ECO) process across departments, ensuring

that design updates, component substitutions, and quality improvements

are cleanly integrated into production without disrupting the line.

Who You Are

This position is ideal for a highly analytical systems expert who thrives at the intersection of product design and factory-floor execution. You enjoy enterprise systems, data management, and process

improvement, and you want to play a foundational role in building a world-class battery manufacturing organization.

governance policies to protect system data integrity across all

integrated modules.

Optimization & UAT: Support system implementation and workflow

optimization projects, performing user acceptance testing (UAT) and

validating digital data paths.

Training & Reporting: Support employee onboarding and system adoption;

develop operational reports, automated dashboards, and data tracking

tools to optimize business processes.

2. Production Planning & Manufacturing Control

Master Scheduling: Translate released PLM data and customer demand

into optimized, executable production schedules within Odoo MRP.

Order Management: Release, sequence, and manage manufacturing orders

(MOs) and work orders based on material availability and operational

capacity.

Performance Tracking: Monitor schedule adherence, track manufacturing

performance metrics, and participate in daily operational and

production planning reviews.

Inventory Alignment: Support inventory planning activities, material

availability tracking, and cycle counting initiatives to ensure high

inventory accuracy.

3. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) & Configuration Control

System Ownership: Own and maintain product structures and digital data

architecture within the Odoo PLM ecosystem.

BOM Governance: Audit, structure, and manage Engineering and

Manufacturing Bills of Materials (eBOMs/mBOMs) to ensure a seamless

data transition from design to production.

Configuration Management: Manage the system configuration files and

part data for advanced battery modules, battery packs, battery

management systems (BMS), and related sub-assemblies.

Revision Control: Ensure all system data, part numbers, and

engineering data attachments remain strictly revision-controlled and

aligned with final engineering releases.

NPI Data Rollout: Coordinate the digital release and precise system

rollout of New Product Introductions (NPI) and engineering revisions

into the live production environment.

4. Engineering Change & Cross-Functional Coordination

ECO Ownership: Serve as the primary administrative coordinator for

Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Engineering Change Notices

(ECNs), driving changes through the digital approval workflow.

Data Liaison: Act as the central data bridge between Design

Engineering, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing to ensure engineering

releases are accurately reflected in production systems.

Effectivity & Cut-In Planning: Coordinate with Supply Chain and

Production to determine exact effective dates and inventory cut-ins

for engineering changes, minimizing scrap and material obsolescence.

Change Communication: Notify procurement and manufacturing teams of

upcoming component changes, substitutions, and end-of-life (EOL) parts

to ensure system readiness.
