Engineering Change Management Associate

As an Engineering Change Management Analyst/Associate at Aristocrat Gaming in Las Vegas, NV, you will be instrumental in managing the lifecycle of engineering change requests (ECRs) and engineering change orders (ECOs). Your work will directly impact on our engineering processes and product quality. This role is crucial for ensuring all changes are accurately documented, compliant, and efficiently processed. You will analyze change impacts and dependencies, conduct thorough audits and data validation of hardware ECR/ECO packages, maintain a centralized repository for change-related documentation, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to facilitate communication, risk assessment, and decision-making on ECO updates and resolutions. Additionally, you will compile and analyze ECO metrics to identify trends and opportunities for improving processes, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and company policies, and identify and implement key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the effectiveness of the change management process. You will utilize your expertise in PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter), ERP systems (e.g., Dynamics365, MAX, M2K), and data analysis tools (e.g., SQL, Power BI, Excel, Tableau) to drive efficiency, support strategic decision-making, and develop data-driven recommendations for process optimization.
