• Create and maintain item masters, part records, product structures, manufacturing BOMs, and BOM versions in Microsoft Dynamics 365 or a similar ERP platform.

• Set up and release new parts with appropriate planning, inventory, procurement, and manufacturing attributes.

• Process approved part revisions and maintain component quantities, effectivity dates, alternate components, and site-specific data.

• Align engineering BOMs (eBOMs) with manufacturing BOMs (mBOMs) and validate consistency across PLM systems, engineering documentation, and ERP records.

• Maintain or support manufacturing routings, operations, work centers, production parameters, MRP settings, lead times, safety stock, and make-or-buy parameters.

• Review released engineering drawings, specifications, and engineering change orders before creating or updating ERP records.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, Quality, Finance, and IT to resolve missing, inconsistent, or conflicting master data.

• Perform data validation, reconciliation, ERP transaction testing, production-order dry runs, and manufacturing-readiness checks.

• Investigate and resolve BOM, part, revision, planning, inventory, and manufacturing transaction discrepancies.

• Maintain setup evidence, approval records, issue trackers, and status documentation while escalating risks that could affect production or supply readiness.

Required Qualifications

• 4–6 years of relevant experience in ERP, manufacturing operations, or supply chain management.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, or a comparable ERP platform.

• Experience creating and maintaining item masters, part records, released products, BOMs, BOM versions, and manufacturing master data.

• Knowledge of new-part setup, part release, revision management, lifecycle status changes, and site-specific ERP configurations.

• Working knowledge of eBOM-to-mBOM alignment, product structures, routings, operations, work centers, and production orders.

• Understanding of purchasing, procurement, inventory, warehouse transactions, material requirements planning (MRP), and production planning.

• Experience interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, and engineering change orders and translating them into accurate ERP master data.

• Experience validating and reconciling data between PLM systems, engineering documentation, and ERP platforms.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data validation, reconciliation, bulk-upload preparation, and issue tracking.

• Strong attention to detail, data accuracy, traceability, documentation, and controlled change execution.

• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, quality, finance, and IT teams.
