About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled, technically proficient and detail-oriented Principal PLM Systems Engineer within the Intelligent Infrastructure Segment. You will possess a deep experience in Windchill, configuration management, and large-scale data integration. As the Principal PLM Systems Engineer will own the end-to-end management of L11 rack Bills of Materials (BOM), including the seamless integration of Excel-based BOMs into Windchill and the governance of ECO/ECR processes across internal and external stakeholders. You will also bring a strong background in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems, data structuring, and change control, along with the ability to build and maintain a centralized engineering data repository for L11 hardware. Success in this role requires a combination of technical rigor, process discipline, and cross-functional collaboration from NPI to production to sustaining.

Responsibilities

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.
May perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.

Requirements

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
Capable of assessing projects, articulating risks, and developing project milestones
Strong attention to data accuracy, version control, and traceability
Creative, self-motivated, accountable, and team-oriented
Able to work independently with minimal oversight
Effective at presenting information and responding to management, clients, and public queries
Capable of influencing others and sharing best practices
Familiar with stage-gate processes in project lifecycle management (PLCM)
Able to coach and mentor less experienced engineers
Experience supporting customer, regulatory, or quality audits.
Fluent in Spanish is a nice to have.
Familiarity with configuration challenges associated with product variants, options, and regional differences.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (lookups, pivot tables, data structuring).
Solid understanding of product structure hierarchy (L0-L11) and configuration management.
Familiarity with 3D CAD parts/assemblies and the parent/child relationship.
