Manage product configuration, engineering changes, and regulatory compliance across advanced aerospace systems while ensuring traceability and operational excellence.
Your Role & Responsibilities
* Establish and maintain product configuration baselines for aircraft systems, subsystems, and components
* Manage Engineering Change Proposals (ECP), Engineering Change Orders (ECO), and Engineering Change Requests (ECR) from approval through implementation
* Control engineering drawings, specifications, technical data packages, and product documentation releases
* Maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), parts lists, and product structure hierarchies
* Ensure traceability between requirements, design data, test records, and as-built configurations
* Lead Configuration Control Boards (CCBs) and evaluate proposed changes regarding technical impact, cost, schedules, certification, and regulatory requirements
* Coordinate change implementation across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality assurance, and maintenance teams
* Manage engineering deviations, approvals, and track the effectiveness of implemented changes
* Ensure configuration management processes comply with aviation regulations and airworthiness requirements
* Support certification activities with regulatory authorities including FAA, EASA, and related compliance documentation
* Maintain conformity records supporting continued airworthiness and assist with internal and external audits
* Support and manage Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and integration with ERP systems for manufacturing and supply chain processes
* Generate configuration reports, metrics, and dashboards for program management
* Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance, flight test, certification, program management, and suppliers to ensure alignment across product lifecycles
* Support manufacturing activities through effective management of As-Designed and As-Built configurations
Required Technical & Professional Expertise
* Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field
* Proven experience managing product configurations for aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, or aerospace systems
* Minimum of 3 years of configuration management experience within the aerospace or aviation industry preferred
* Hands-on experience with Engineering Change processes and Configuration Control Boards (CCBs)
* Experience supporting aviation certification programs such as FAA and EASA is considered a strong advantage
* Strong understanding of configuration management principles, processes, and best practices
* Knowledge of engineering drawing standards including ASME Y14.5 and ISO standards
* Proficiency with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and ERP systems integration for BOM management
* Working knowledge of aircraft systems, structures, avionics, and propulsion systems
* Familiarity with requirements management and traceability tools
* Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams
* Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities simultaneously
* Good English language skills (written and spoken); German is desirable
* Eligibility to work in Switzerland (Swiss or EU citizenship required)
