Responsibilities
Establish, maintain, and execute Configuration Management Plans (CMPs) for enterprise engineering systems, software applications, integrations, interfaces, and related technical environments. Lead Change Control Boards (CCBs), including the preparation, coordination, tracking, documentation, and follow-up of proposed changes, decisions, approvals, and action items. Establish and maintain configuration baselines for software, hardware, engineering data, system documentation, interfaces, releases, and operational environments. Enforce traceability across software or hardware life cycles and maintain audit readiness for complex enterprise applications. Coordinate configuration management activities across PLM, CAD data-management, ALM, DevOps, software-development, quality assurance, systems integration, and operations and maintenance efforts. Review, document, track, and maintain records for configuration items, version histories, change requests, approvals, release packages, baseline updates, and configuration-status accounting. Support the planning and execution of software upgrades, system integrations, releases, deployments, cutovers, and post-deployment validation activities. Ensure configuration-controlled artifacts are appropriately identified, versioned, reviewed, approved, stored, and available to authorized stakeholders. Support release-management and deployment-readiness activities by confirming that changes have completed required review, testing, documentation, approval, and baseline-management processes. Work with quality assurance and test personnel to ensure that configuration changes are traceable to applicable requirements, test plans, test results, defects, and resolution records. Support the maintenance of configuration documentation, including CMPs, configuration-item inventories, baseline records, change logs, release records, CCB materials, and audit-support artifacts. Identify configuration-management risks, control gaps, documentation deficiencies, and process-improvement opportunities; communicate findings and support corrective actions. Coordinate with project managers and technical leads to align configuration-management activities with task-order schedules, milestones, deliverables, and implementation plans. Support governance and compliance activities in environments requiring formal change control, controlled releases, security awareness, and structured documentation. Assist with knowledge-transfer activities related to configuration-management procedures, configuration-control processes, change-management requirements, and release-management practices.
