Engineering Documentation Control & PLM Lead (m/f/d)

Your daily workout

• Product Lifecycle Management Strategy: You own and evolve our PLM environment - from configuration to daily operations. You’ll work closely with engineers, supply chain, and manufacturing to make sure the system supports real product development needs, not just theoretical workflows
• Engineering Change Management: You drive the engineering change management end-to-end. You’ll guide teams through impact assessments, BOM updates, documentation changes, and implementation coordination, ensuring that each change is technically sound and production-ready
• Project Integration: You Participate directly in hardware development projects, bringing clarity to product documentation structures and ensuring that good engineering work is also well captured and usable downstream
• PLM System Administration: You maintain and evolve our PLM ecosystem—including configuration management, user licenses, permission structures, and feature setups—ensuring the system reliably supports engineering, supply chain, and production workflows
• PLM Validation & Rollout: You test, validate, and document PLM adjustments, coordinating with stakeholders on required changes, and plan structured rollouts that minimize disruption and ensure smooth adoption across the hardware organization
• Knowledge Management: You build and maintain our product knowledge infrastructure (Google Drive, Notion), shaping a scalable structure that helps engineers find what they need fast
• Training: You level up the department’s tools and methods through training and coaching, strengthening the team’s understanding of PLM best practices, documentation standards, and change management basics.

Your fitness level

• Technical Foundation: You bring a solid technical background through a degree in engineering or a comparable technical discipline (business background with real exposure to engineering workflows also works)
• Industry Experience: You have 5+ years of hands-on experience in hardware development, lean production or factory planning, where you’ve seen how design decisions, documentation, BOMs, and changes impact downstream teams
• PLM Expertise You’ve worked with a PLM system in a real product environment to support serial production. You understand why structures matter and how data flows across teams. Experience with Arena PLM is a plus
• System Configuration: You are comfortable maintaining and improving a PLM system—including configuring features, managing permissions, testing system changes, and planning smooth rollouts in alignment with engineering and operations teams
• Enablement & Training: You’re comfortable enabling others through small training sessions, hands-on walkthroughs, or improving documentation so teams can adopt better practices
• BOM Management: You can interpret technical specifications and have collaborated closely with engineers to structure BOMs and documentation in a way that supports design, sourcing, and production
• Stakeholder Management: You are assertive, clear, and relationship-driven, able to build trust with engineers, project managers, supply chain teams, and leadership - especially when guiding them through change
• Problem Solving: You work independently and proactively, especially when faced with ambiguous problems where the “right” solution isn’t obvious. You enjoy figuring things out
• Language Skills: You communicate effectively in English across all levels of the organization, from early-career engineers to senior management. German skills are a plus
