Keep every part accounted for. Build clear structures – so every radar configuration built and serviced in the field works as intended.
As our Parts, BOM and Configuration Management Engineer, you bring order and precision to our complex product structures.
You take charge of maintaining part details, building accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), and tracking changes across the full product lifecycle.
Working closely with I&D, Procurement and Production, you ensure the right parts and data flow seamlessly into our systems.
You report to the Head of Engineering, making sure our radar systems are built right every single time.

- Part identification and cataloguing: Ensure all parts carry precise part numbers, descriptions, and detailed technical specifications. Safeguard accurate ordering so the right components are always available when needed.
- BOM creation and lifecycle management: Develop and maintain detailed BOMs containing all required materials, subassemblies, and supplier data. Ensure correct quantities and specifications are recorded to support flawless production.
- Configuration control and change tracking: Implement robust configuration management processes and software tools across product lines. Track design modifications and customer-specific variations to maintain full revision control.
- Lifecycle recordkeeping and traceability: Keep thorough records of drawings, revision changes, and product configurations over time. Guarantee end-to-end traceability for every product variant from design to maintenance.
- Production and cross-functional support: Guide Production teams with accurate configuration data for assembly, repairs, and updates. Partner with R&D Innovation, Project Management, and Procurement teams to align standards.
