Define and enforce naming conventions, numbering schemes, and classification rules.
Support New Product Introduction (NPI) programs and scaling processes across multiple concurrent builds.
Initiate change notices to release new BOMs and BOM changes to the appropriate factory.
Lead the design and deployment of a centralized, cross-functional database to standardize, manage, and track Jabil’s L11 hardware and supplier ecosystem across the Intelligent Infrastructure organization.
Work directly with rack integration, power, and electrical team members to organize and manage their technical documentation including datasheets, specifications, manuals, and drawings for easy retrieval and reuse.
Utilize database tools to build out customized data environments (i.e. SQL, Access, SharePoint) for scalable data repositories.
Create APIs or macros to streamline Excel to PLM integration and database to Excel automation supporting rack integration builds.
