Engineering Change Management (ECM) Program Manager

Engineering Change Management (ECM) Program Manager – Robotics & Hardware Systems

Overview

IntePros is seeking an experienced Engineering Change Management (ECM) Program Manager to support large-scale robotics and hardware system deployments. This role owns the end-to-end engineering change order (ECO) lifecycle, ensuring all design, manufacturing, and supply chain changes are properly documented, reviewed, and implemented. The position operates in a highly cross-functional environment and requires strong attention to detail, process rigor, and the ability to drive execution across engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams.

Why This Role Is Interesting

• High-impact role supporting large-scale robotics and automation deployments
• Full ownership of the engineering change lifecycle from creation through implementation
• Exposure to hardware, supply chain, manufacturing, and field operations
• Opportunity to drive process improvements and reduce change cycle times
• Work across a wide range of stakeholders in a complex, fast-moving environment
  
  

Core Responsibilities

Engineering Change Management

• Own and manage ECO lifecycle from initiation through implementation
• Review and validate ECO documentation including change descriptions, rationale, and affected items
• Ensure revision control integrity across PLM systems and CAD environments
• Maintain compliance with documentation standards, class codes, and item structures
  
  

BOM & Configuration Management

• Validate multi-level BOM structures and ensure accuracy across assemblies
• Perform Buy-Level Traceability (BLT) audits to ensure proper change propagation
• Manage AML accuracy, part classifications, and regional deployment attributes
• Identify and resolve revision conflicts across concurrent changes
  
  

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Partner with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, compliance, and field teams
• Coordinate pre-release activities including compliance checks and documentation readiness
• Support change review boards with impact assessments (cost, lead time, inventory, etc.)
• Manage supplier change requests and external partner coordination
  
  

Operational Execution & Reporting

• Track ECO cycle times and ensure adherence to SLA timelines
• Monitor change backlog and drive timely resolution
• Maintain reporting on change metrics, risks, and program health
• Support disposition decisions (rework, scrap, use-as-is, etc.) across inventory
  
  

Process Improvement

• Identify bottlenecks in change workflows and implement improvements
• Develop and maintain ECM documentation, best practices, and training materials
• Mentor team members on ECM processes and tools
  
  

Top 3 Hard Requirements

• ECO Lifecycle Management (PLM Systems)
• 5 years managing engineering change orders end-to-end (Agile PLM or similar)
• Experience processing high volumes of ECOs across full lifecycle stages
• BOM Management & Traceability
• Strong experience with multi-level BOMs and configuration management
• Proven ability to perform BLT audits and manage complex assemblies
• Cross-Functional Change Impact Analysis
• Experience assessing impacts across manufacturing, supply chain, and operations
• Ability to coordinate approvals and drive alignment across multiple stakeholders
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with CAD/PLM integrations (e.g., SolidWorks, 3DExperience)
• Background in robotics, automation, or electromechanical systems
• Familiarity with ERP systems and PLM-to-ERP workflows
• Experience with supplier change processes and compliance standards (RoHS, REACH)
  
  

Key Qualifications

• 7 years of experience in engineering change management, configuration management, or product data management
• Strong understanding of ECO/ECR/ECN workflows and revision control
• Experience working with electromechanical systems and manufacturing processes
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Excellent communication and documentation skills
  
  

Candidate Expectations

• Ability to manage complex change processes with high accuracy and speed
• Strong ownership of deliverables and timelines
• Effective coordination across multiple technical and operational teams
• Proactive identification and resolution of risks and bottlenecks
• High attention to detail in documentation and data integrity
