Title: Data Analyst: Engineering Change Management (ECM)

Duration : 7 Months

Location: North Reading, MA (Hybrid)

Job Responsibilities:

Client is seeking an Engineering Change Management (ECM) Contractor to support their new program within the ECM team. The program is a drop-in retrofit for universal stations that automates ASIN stow, comprising induct stations, item transfer systems, item buffer subsystems, and robotic stow workcells. The contractor will manage the end-to-end engineering change order lifecycle in Agile PLM, ensuring changes are properly documented, reviewed, and implemented across manufacturing, supply chain, and field operations. Reports to the ECM Lead as part of the Global Engineering Change Management team..

• Actively support and foster a culture of inclusion.
• Originate, process, and shepherd ECOs through all six stages of the ECO process (Pending → Tech Review → Submitted → Pre-CCB Prep → CCB Approval → Released/CIB → Implemented) for program hardware and electromechanical assemblies.
• Conduct thorough ECO documentation reviews including cover page completeness, Description of Change (What), Reason for Change (Why), and affected items validation.
• Perform Buy-Level Traceability (BLT) audits to ensure below-the-buy (BTB) changes flow up to the client buy level for all program components.
• Validate BOM structures, AML accuracy, tech type assignments (OTS/MTS/MTS Co-Designed), and regional deployability attributes (US, CA, EU, GB, JP, AU) for program parts.
• Coordinate Pre-CCB preparation including supply chain EBS attribute entry, material compliance documentation review, and regulatory compliance verification.
• Support CCB approval meetings by preparing change impact assessments covering E&O costs, lead time implications, rework/scrap analysis, and inventory disposition recommendations.
• Manage ECO relationships and rules, linking deviations (DEVs) and SREAs to permanent ECO implementations.
• Ensure revision control integrity across Agile PLM and CAD vault (Solidworks/3DExperience) for program drawings and models.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders including HW ME/EE SMEs, Manufacturing Tech Ops, Supply Chain (GCMs/Buyers), Field Services, Deployment Engineering, and System Safety.
• Monitor ECO cycle times against priority-based SLAs (Critical: 48hr, High: 5-day, Low: 10+ day) and drive on-time completion.
• Process SREAs (Supplier Requested Engineering Assistance) for program contract manufacturers and manage supplier change notifications.
• Maintain class code compliance and item numbering standards per 960-99999 for all program part releases, including 400-series mechanical assemblies, 500-series PCBAs, 540-series cable assemblies, 600-series electromechanical assemblies, and 700-series TLAs.
• Drive disposition management (Use As-Is, Rework, Scrap, Purge, Recall) for program inventory across Orders, Stock, RMA, and Field phases.
• Write and maintain ECM process documentation, best practices, and lessons learned specific to the program.
• Mentor team members on Agile PLM workflows and ECO best practices.
• Take ownership to identify process bottlenecks and drive improvements with minimal oversight.
• High attention to detail with flexibility to enable business velocity.
• Travel: Up to 15% required (domestic, primarily to manufacturing/supplier sites). 

Required skills

• Agile PLM ECO Lifecycle Management
  • End-to-end proficiency in processing engineering change orders through all workflow stages (Pending → Tech Review → Submitted → Pre-CCB → CCB → Released/CIB → Implemented).
  • Ability to validate ECO documentation packages, manage affected items, verify BOM structures, and coordinate multi-functional approvals.
  • Understanding of workflow RACI, role allocations (Approver/Acknowledger/Observer), and priority-based SLA management.
  • Experience Level: 5+ years hands-on ECO processing in Agile PLM or equivalent, must have managed 100+ ECOs through full lifecycle, experience with CCB preparation and disposition management.
• BOM Management & Buy-Level Traceability (BLT)
  • Expertise in multi-level BOM validation, where-used audits, and ensuring below-the-buy (BTB) changes properly flow up to the buy level.
  • Understanding of tech type classifications (OTS/MTS/MTS Co-Engineering Change Management Contractor Requisition).
