Job Summary 

The Engineering Configuration Analyst owns the product structure behind every Premier boat in our ERP system, Epicor. You'll build new bills of materials (BOMs), methods of manufacturing, parts and kits from engineering designs, and keep them accurate through engineering changes and product lifecycle. You'll lead how product data and configurations are set up, own the processes that keep them accurate, and plan and track engineering projects. This role works closely with engineering, production, purchasing, planning and sales. 

Essential Job Functions 

• Create new BOMs, methods of manufacturing, parts and kits in Epicor from engineering drawings, models and design releases. 
• Author the standards for how BOMs, methods and parts are structured, numbered and maintained. 
• Create, document, and own Premier's engineering data processes, including new part requests, BOM and method release, engineering changes, configurator updates, and model-year rollovers. Define each step, owner, approval, and handoff. 
• Write and maintain SOPs and work instructions for these processes, train users in engineering, production, purchasing and sales, and audit that the processes are followed. 
• Own the engineering change (ECN/ECO) process in Epicor while working cross functionally with purchasing and production to review and assess its impact on inventory, purchasing, and production to determine how and when it takes effect. 
• Own front-end configuration management: maintain the models, option structure, and configurator rules, and partner with sales, product management, and engineering to add new options and model-year changes. Test configurations before release so every quote and order is buildable and produces the correct BOM and method. 
• Establish and maintain a configuration baseline for each model year and make sure every change goes through the engineering change process. 
• Lead BOM and method setup for new models and model-year rollovers, from design release to production readiness. 
• Plan, schedule, and track engineering projects; report milestones, risks and status to the Engineering Manager. 
• Build reports and dashboards (BAQs, Excel) to audit data quality and track engineering change status. 
• Identify and implement improvements to Premier's engineering data processes and Epicor setup. 
• Define and track process metrics (for example, BOM accuracy, ECN/ECO cycle time, and order configuration errors) and lead corrective actions and continuous improvement in these processes and in Premier's Epicor setup. 

Requirements 

Required Skills/Abilities: 

• Strong Excel skills and comfort analyzing large data sets. 
• Ability to read engineering drawings and models and turn them into accurate product structures. 
• Experience with engineering change processes (ECN/ECO) and revision control. 
• Experience creating, documenting, and rolling out business processes (process maps, SOPs, work instructions) and getting cross-functional teams to adopt them. 
• Experience maintaining rules-based product configuration (option rules or a product configurator) for a configured or made-to-order product. 
• Project planning skills: building schedules, tracking tasks, and keeping work on time. 
• Clear communication and ability to lead work across engineering, production, and purchasing. 
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. 
• Ability to work within and advance the Premier Marine Core Values. 

Preferred Skills/Abilities: 

• Experience with Epicor Product Configurator. 
• Experience writing BAQs, dashboards or basic SQL, and running DMTs (Data Management Tool). 
• Experience authoring and updating BPMs is a plus.  
• Experience using AI tools that connect to Epicor (for example, AI assistants or integrations that query Epicor data, run BAQs or flag data issues) to speed up analysis, audits and documentation. 
• Experience with automated processes used to configure production jobs from sales orders.  
• Understanding of manufacturing planning, including MRP, production scheduling, lead times and material planning in Epicor, and how BOM and method changes affect them. 
• Familiarity with configuration management principles such as configuration baselines and change control. 
• Lean or continuous improvement training or experience. 
• Exposure to CAD or PLM tools (for example, SolidWorks). 

Education and Experience Requirements: 

• Associate or bachelor's degree in engineering, engineering technology or a related field, or equivalent experience. 
• 3+ years of experience creating and managing BOMs, routings or methods in a manufacturing ERP system. 
• 2+ years of hands-on Epicor ERP (Kinetic/10) experience, including Engineering Workbench, Methods of Manufacturing, and Part Maintenance.
