Our flagship humanoid robot, Apollo, is built to collaborate thoughtfully with people, starting with critical industries such as manufacturing and logistics, with future applications in healthcare, the home, and beyond.\nWe operate at the cutting edge of Applied AI, applying our expertise across the full robotics stack to solve some of society's most important problems. You will join a team dedicated to bringing Apollo to market at scale, tackling the complex challenges like safety, commercialization, and mass production to change the world for the better.\nThe Configuration Manager owns the rules that govern product data in Teamcenter. Every part number, revision, BOM structure, and release state across Apptronik's robot programs runs through the configuration framework this role defines and maintains.\nThis position is the authority on what a revision means, how configuration maturity is defined, and how configuration status is controlled from engineering development through procurement, manufacturing, delivery, and service. Engineering owns technical design approval; Supply Chain owns sourcing and procurement execution; Manufacturing owns build execution; Quality owns applicable quality controls; and Configuration Management owns the governance, traceability, baselines, and configuration controls that connect these functions.. \nThe role sits within Operations/Supply Chain because configuration control connects engineering release to sourcing, manufacturing, quality, and delivered product. The Configuration Manager ensures that the configuration Engineering releases is the configuration Supply Chain procures, Manufacturing builds, Quality validates, and Apptronik ultimately delivers and supports.\nThe Configuration Manager is the process and governance owner within Apptronik's Teamcenter environment, partnering with IT Teamcenter administration on system implementation and with Engineering Teamcenter administration on CAD data management and authoring practice. Design velocity is high and will remain high as programs move from prototype to production; this role builds configuration control that supports that pace without imposing unnecessary process on early-stage development.\nThis is not a Teamcenter system administrator role. The Configuration Manager owns product configuration policy, process, governance, data requirements, and configuration-control practices. IT owns Teamcenter platform administration and technical infrastructure.\nESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES or KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES\nOwn the configuration management framework in Teamcenter, including part numbering and configuration-suffix schemes, revision rules, working-revision policy, effectivity, and baseline definition.\nDefine and administer release-state logic and the item release-to-production workflow, including the attribute completeness required before a part becomes procurable.\nDefine and govern configuration requirements for Design Release, Procurement-Ready, Build-Ready, and Production Release gates at the part, subassembly, and system level. Ensure required drawings, specifications, BOMs, approved sources, manufacturing data, and revision-controlled documentation are complete before material commitment or build execution.\nDefine fit-for-purpose configuration controls across Prototype, EVT, DVT, PVT, and Production phases, enabling rapid engineering iteration during development while progressively increasing configuration rigor as the product matures.\nGovern BOM structure and BOM revision behavior, and maintain alignment between EBOM, MBOM, and as-built structures.\nEstablish configuration baselines at program milestones and maintain traceability from released configuration to delivered hardware.\nDefine the product configuration model necessary to maintain serial-number-level traceability from engineering baseline through procurement, manufacturing, test, shipment, retrofit, and service.\nEstablish the relationship between as-designed, as-planned, as-built, and as-maintained configurations and define the authoritative system of record for each.\nOwn the change framework at a process level, including ECR/ECO object models, workflow routing, review gates, closure criteria, and deviation and waiver control.\nEnsure engineering changes assess technical, quality, supply, cost, schedule, supplier, inventory, manufacturing, and field/service impacts before implementation.\nEstablish change-effectivity and implementation controls, including date, lot, and serial-number effectivity; cut-in/cut-out strategy; and disposition of open purchase orders, supplier WIP, internal WIP, inventory, rework, scrap, use-as-is material, and fielded units resulting from engineering changes.\nOwn AVL/AML representation in Teamcenter and its relationship to sourcing, approved-source, and make/buy attributes.\nWrite, publish, and maintain configuration management procedures and work instructions, and train engineering, quality, manufacturing, and supply chain personnel on them.\nServe as the Supply Chain configuration authority for Teamcenter deployment, including data model decisions, migration mapping from previous PLM, and validation of migrated data.\nBuild and maintain reporting on configuration health, including incomplete part records, unreleased parts on open purchase orders, and revision alignment between released design and purchased material.\nDefine the revision level suppliers are authorized to build to and the method by which controlled data reaches them.\nDevelop configuration-health metrics and dashboards including BOM release status, Procurement-Ready and Build-Ready status, incomplete attributes, ECO aging, change implementation cycle time, superseded revisions on open POs, BOM/PO revision mismatches, configuration deviations, supplier acknowledgement compliance, and as-designed versus as-built discrepancies.\nPartner with IT Teamcenter administration on environments, upgrades, licensing, integrations, and security architecture, translating configuration policy into system implementation.\nPartner with Engineering Teamcenter administration to keep design practice and configuration policy aligned.\nPartner with NPI, Manufacturing Engineering, Procurement, Quality, Test, and Program Management to ensure configuration readiness is incorporated into build planning and program phase gates.\nServe as the point of contact for engineering, manufacturing, quality, and program management on configuration questions, change governance, and release readiness.\nSKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS\nRequired\nHands-on Teamcenter experience across item and revision structures, BOM management, release statuses, and workflow configuration.\nDemonstrated ownership of a part numbering and revision scheme through real production use, including its edge cases.\nWorking knowledge of engineering change processes and change board governance.\nStrong grasp of BOM types and how EBOM/MBOM divergence affects procurement and build execution.\nDemonstrated understanding of as-designed, as-planned, as-built, and as-maintained product configurations.\nExperience managing engineering changes after material has entered procurement, supplier WIP, inventory, or manufacturing.\nAbility to balance configuration rigor with high-velocity NPI development and establish appropriate controls for different stages of product maturity.\nAbility to write procedures teams can follow and to train users across functions.\nClear written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical audiences.\nPreferred\nExperience through a PLM migration or implementation into Teamcenter from Arena, Windchill, Agile, or SAP PLM.\nElectromechanical hardware background including actuators, motors, harnesses, PCBAs, and machined parts.\nExposure to CMII, AS9100, or ISO 9001 configuration and quality frameworks.\nHigh-velocity NPI experience where design and build overlap and configuration control has to keep pace.\nExperience supporting Prototype, EVT, DVT, PVT, and production-release processes.\nExperience with serialized products and maintaining configuration traceability through manufacturing, field retrofit, and service.\nExperience managing hardware, embedded firmware, software, and calibration compatibility within a complex product architecture.\nComfort querying and reporting against PLM data using SQL, Python, or Teamcenter reporting tools.\nA bias toward lean, fit-for-purpose processes.\nEDUCATION and/or EXPERIENCE\nBachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Engineering, Industrial Technology, Information Systems, or related field\nAt least 8 years of experience in configuration management, PLM administration, or product data management in a complex hardware environment\nExperience establishing or materially improving configuration-management processes in an NPI-to-production environment strongly preferred.\nPHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS\nAbility to periodically work in manufacturing, lab, warehouse, and robot operating environments.\nPeriods of sitting at a workstation and working on a computer\nAbility to safely lift and/or move approximately 15 pounds at times.\nAbility to move throughout operational areas and maintain awareness of surrounding people, equipment, and robotic systems.\nVisual ability necessary to operate equipment, monitor robotic systems, and read printed and digital material including engineering drawings \nAbility to communicate effectively with team members during normal operations and when responding to safety or operational concern\nOccasional time on the production floor, including use of required personal protective equipment\n*This is a direct hire.
