The ideal candidate must have a technical background and possess a strong Project Management Office (PMO) skillset to effectively support deliverables, follow up on manage complex asset inventories, and maintain engineering documentation.

Core Program Support & Scope
The specialist will provide dedicated PMO and program support for three primary workstreams: Global Regions System Engineering Technical Meetings, Major Program Integration, and System Parameter Input Stakeholder Tracking. Scope descriptions for these programs include:

• Meetings: Schedule, chair, and document technical meetings. Partner with the TPM to drive scope deliverables, ensuring discussions regarding engineering, design, and pilot testing remain structured, organized, and productive.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Support the Product Development & Insertion Project Management Team, collaborating closely with the Technology Innovation Engineering Team and the broader product development team on design-related discussions.
• PLC Stage Gate Governance: Assist the manager in driving the Product Life Cycle (PLC) checklist. Support the scheduling, review, and note-taking of stage gate presentations to ensure successful sign-off for each phase.
• Documentation & Tracker Upkeep: Manage documentation workflows, maintain trackers, and follow up with internal stakeholders to secure reviews and process sign-offs by committed timelines.
• Engineering Bulletin Coordination: Coordinate Engineering Bulletins (EBs) with relevant parties to verify that technical content is accurate and all supporting documentation is properly linked.

Key Responsibilities
1. Inventory Quantity & Design Update Tracking

• Device Count Management: Track, audit, and reconcile standard hardware device counts (including automatic transfer switches, network equipment, busducts, and infrastructure components) alongside mechanical drops as data center site layouts migrate from baseline to site-specific configurations.
• Design Update Auditing: Continuously audit the inventory framework to accurately account for all new hardware releases and specific project configuration modifications.

2. Stakeholder Follow-Up & Data Integration

• Internal Alignment Execution: Proactively follow up with internal engineering, design, and operations teams to accelerate design reviews, technical drawing releases, and spend approvals (such as data center design engineering approvals).
• Supply Chain & Vendor Touchpoints: Interface with Equipment Supply Chain contacts and integration vendors to track hardware fabrication timelines, assembly starts, and transit schedules.
• Major Program Integration: Assist the team in leading coordination efforts across supply chain, internal engineering, and data center services to ensure inventory counts accurately reflect upcoming configurations.

3. Dashboard, Tracker, & Tool Maintenance

• Program Tracker Ownership: Retain  ownership of the program workflow tracker and roadmap updates (taking direction from lead engineering and portfolio TPM), updating task completions, milestone dates, approved configurations, and assignees weekly.
• Inventory Dashboard Analytics: Maintain a clean, consolidated dashboard tracking equipment inventory, supplier lead times, allocation maps, and storage locations for spare or excess components.
• Documentation Repositories: Manage documentation uploads, track stakeholder approvals, and coordinate the drafting/approval of technical bulletins while ensuring accurate technical links are preserved.
• Status Reporting: Generate structured, periodic reports for leadership focusing on late-binding transition statuses, inventory holding risks, and critical path timeline updates.

4. Lifecycle Documentation Closeout

• Ensure all project-related information is properly organized, validated for accuracy/quality, and archived within defined closeout periods agreed upon by the TPM and DCKM teams.
• Incorporate metadata and indexing for optimized searchability, implement access controls, document lessons learned, and manage a seamless handover to operations.

• Document Management & Collaboration: Proficiency in navigating and organizing data within AODocs, DCIP folder structures, PILs, and DDI platforms to maintain centralized, secure repositories.
• Issue & Bug Tracking: Direct experience utilizing Buganizer (or equivalent enterprise tracking systems) to log, monitor, and resolve product/program defects.
• Configuration & Change Control: Solid understanding of engineering change processes, including the administration of Change Control Boards (CCBs), Technical/Product Assessments (TAs/PAs), and Engineering Bulletins (EBs).
• Data & System Analytics: Ability to manage inventory dashboards, track complex technical assets (ATS, network hardware, busducts), and align data fields across supply chain and engineering roadmaps.
