BOM Coordinator

BOM Coordinator – Modular R&D

Location: Austin, Texas - 100% onsite requirement

Compensation: $155,000-$185,000

Relocation: Comprehensive relocation assistance will be provided for non-locals.

About the Opportunity

We are supporting a rapidly scaling data center company that is hiring a BOM Coordinator into its Modular R&D team.

This business builds gigawatt-scale data centers in months rather than years, and that speed depends on the modular product being treated as a manufactured unit rather than a construction project. The bill of materials is the spine of that, and this role owns it.

You will hold every part, quantity and revision across structural, mechanical and electrical scopes in a single source of truth, and keep it accurate while the design moves underneath you. When engineering releases a change, your job is to get it into purchasing and manufacturing in days, with nothing orphaned and no stale quantities left behind.

This is a role where accuracy has immediate physical consequences. A BOM error here stops a factory line or a field build, so the discipline you bring is the point of the job rather than an administrative overhead.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the bill of materials for the modular data center product across structural, mechanical and electrical scopes, held in one source of truth

• Drive engineering changes through the BOM so a design revision lands in purchasing and manufacturing within days

• Keep the BOM free of orphaned parts and stale quantities as the design iterates

• Reconcile the engineering BOM against vendor quotes, purchase orders and received material, chasing every discrepancy to a root cause

• Flag long-lead and single-source items to supply chain the moment they enter the BOM, before they can threaten the build schedule

• Build the part numbering, revision control and change discipline that carries the modular program from prototype through to fleet production

• Sit between design engineering and purchasing, turning drawings into orderable part numbers both sides can trust

What We're Looking For

• Experience personally owning a multi-thousand-line BOM through heavy engineering change while keeping it accurate

• Experience running formal change control, including ECOs, ECNs and redline to release, closing the loop every time with no unreleased revisions left floating in email

• Experience reconciling BOMs against purchase orders and received material, and tracing every mismatch until it is explained

• Ability to work between design engineers and buyers, translating drawings into orderable part numbers that both sides rely on

• Experience administering the system that holds the BOM, whether PLM, ERP or disciplined spreadsheets at scale, without letting revisions fork

• Experience supporting a manufacturing floor or field build where a BOM error stopped work, and the habits built off the back of it

• Strong attention to detail alongside the persistence to chase a discrepancy to its source

• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where decisions often need to be made quickly

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to hold the line on process without becoming a bottleneck

The above is a starting point rather than a checklist. If you do not fit the role exactly but can point to where you would, that is worth a conversation.

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following would be particularly valuable:

• Modular construction or data center equipment

• PLM systems (Arena, Windchill or Teamcenter)

• ERP experience (NetSuite or similar)

• Long-lead procurement exposure

• Configuration management for products in production

• New product introduction and first-article builds

• High-growth or startup environments

The Human

This role is best suited to someone who wants their work to keep a factory moving rather than sit in a system nobody checks.

You should enjoy being close to production, talking directly with the people building the product and resolving discrepancies as they happen rather than picking them up weeks later from a report.

You do not need to have come from a data center background.

What matters is that you understand configuration control, can work effectively between engineering and purchasing, and are comfortable taking ownership of problems from identification through resolution.

The environment is fast-paced, highly ambitious and execution-focused. The successful candidate will play a critical role in making sure engineering intent reaches the factory floor intact as the operation scales.
