Engineering Change (EC) Engineer - Mechanical

Ensures rapid and efficient processing of ECOs, resulting in cost-effective change implementation. Prioritizes Review of ECOs and expedites release of ECO, in the implementation cycle. Review ECO's for content completeness, Structure of Bill of Material, customer impact (internal and external), organizational impact, and functional product impact Determines effect of ECOs on products and processes; adequately ascertains who needs to be included in the evaluation, disposition, assignment, definition, approval, and implementation of the ECO; routes ECOs. Interfaces with other engineering functions to coordinate the release of product improvements and/or new products. Create, releases, approves and implements or issues engineering change requests as required to support design engineering and Operations with new and existing products. Coordinates with other impacted EC analysts; verifies that appropriate CIB (Change Implementation Board) members are included on the ECO based on Product Family, Product Line, Change Category, planner/buyer and product option tree, as applicable. Communicates issues logged with EC Analysts or EC engineers to ensure for correctness of the ECO Analyzes part structure to determine the scope / impact of product changes; conducts where-used searches. Trains / coaches ECO participants in their functional areas; advises ECO participants on possible solutions for ECO related problems, issues or situations; routinely mediates conflicts between ECO participants. Evaluates ECO process for continuous improvement opportunities; assists in KPI development and document the process.
