Mechanical Configuration Engineer

The Mechanical Configuration Engineer is responsible for maintaining the integrity of released mechanical product definitions while supporting fast customer-specific product configurations (Configure-to-Order).

The primary objective of the role is not the creation of new mechanical designs, but the efficient and accurate implementation of engineering changes that preserve product quality, manufacturing continuity, and documentation integrity.

The role acts as the bridge between Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Project Management and Configuration Management.

Responsibilities:

• Execute customer-specific product configurations (CTO) within agreed lead times.

• Prepare and update mechanical drawings, bills of materials and related technical documentation.

• Maintain consistency between CAD models, engineering drawings, BOMs and released documentation.

• Assess incoming change requests and determine whether they fall within the authority of the role or require engineering escalation.

• Coordinate engineering changes with Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing and Project Management.

• Ensure released product definitions remain complete, traceable and manufacturable.

• Support engineering projects by maintaining documentation quality and configuration integrity.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering documentation and configuration processes.

We are looking for someone who enjoys bringing structure, accuracy and completeness to engineering information.

The ideal candidate:

• Has experience with mechanical CAD and technical drawings.

• Understands that released engineering documentation is the authoritative product definition.

• Works accurately under time pressure.

• Is comfortable handling many parallel short-cycle tasks.

• Enjoys organizing technical information.

• Communicates effectively across departments.

• Knows when to act independently and when to escalate engineering decisions.

• Values quality, consistency and first-time-right execution.

Nice to have:

• Experience with PDM/PLM systems.

• Experience with Engineering Change Orders (ECO/ECR).

• Knowledge of configuration management.

• Experience supporting manufacturing.

• Familiarity with ERP systems.

• Experience working in a regulated or high-technology manufacturing environment.

Success is measured by:

• Fast turnaround of CTO requests.

• High first-time-right rate.

• Accurate and complete released documentation.

• Low engineering rework caused by documentation errors.

• High manufacturing confidence in released product data.
