About the position

Parker Aerospace, a segment of Parker Hannifin Corporation, is seeking a Senior Product Data Engineering Analyst to lead the control and management of engineering design data, particularly focusing on the Engineering Change Management process. This role is pivotal in establishing a cohesive Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) vision and strategy that supports both engineering and broader business objectives. The successful candidate will be responsible for mentoring and training engineering staff on the effective use of SAP and SmarTeam, ensuring that all team members are equipped with the necessary skills to manage product data effectively. The Senior Product Data Engineering Analyst will support the development and execution of PDM/PLM policies and procedures, maintaining written operating procedures that govern PLM functions. This includes configuring PDM system data and functions, managing user administration, lifecycle rules, electronic workflows, and providing first-tier user support. A strong understanding of CATIA is essential, as the role involves establishing best practices with SmarTeam integration and the eventual transition to Enovia 3D Experience. Collaboration with IT is crucial to ensure the correct configuration of systems, and the analyst will support all engineering PDM-related internal and external audits. The role also encompasses managing data control SAP functions, which include overseeing engineering change records, document records, bills-of-materials, and material masters, while ensuring compliance with Export Control and Trade Secret regulations. The analyst will audit product data in SAP to maintain data integrity and manage the migration of product data from legacy systems into SmarTeam and SAP. While the primary focus will be on engineering, the role will expand into managing product data across other functional areas. The Senior Product Data Engineering Analyst will actively participate in the management team, contributing to the development and realization of departmental strategic plans, budgets, and goals. Additionally, the analyst will support the Engineering organization in delivering design products that meet program demands, including the creation and maintenance of 3D models, 2D drawings, and Bills-of-Material, ensuring adherence to Design Drafting standards.

• Work closely with IT to ensure correct system configuration.
• Support all engineering PDM-related internal and external audits.
• Provide in-house engineering centric SAP and SmarTeam training.
• Manage data control SAP functions including engineering change records, document records, bills-of-materials, material masters, and classification of these records.
• Audit the product data in SAP to guarantee the integrity of the data.
