ANA is headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, with locations in Cypress, California and Spartanburg, South Carolina. ANA is growing and scaling, and we are seeking an Engineering Project Manager in an onsite position in Henderson, Nevada.
As we transition from research and development into a full-scale commercial product development organization, we are seeking an Engineering Project Manager to lead our New Product Introduction (NPI) framework and manage key operational systems. This role bridges technical execution and operational readiness by leading project timelines, driving Change Request (CR) workflows, and configuring Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. The ideal candidate ensures engineering change integrity, manages part life cycles, and establishes grounded, realistic launch schedules across cross-functional teams.
The ideal candidate is a highly organized, hands-on project leader who can operate comfortably at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, systems, and business operations. This individual should be comfortable establishing structure where processes are still evolving, identifying risks before they become problems, and holding cross-functional teams accountable to realistic commitments.
The position is fully onsite, and the work schedule is weekdays from 8:00 AM-5:00 PM. This role reports to the Director of R&D.
Role & Responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end NPI project schedules for engineering, including providing input for gate reviews, and engineering critical-path milestone tracking from initial design through pilot and mass production.
- Serve as the central operational liaison between Engineering and the program team.
- Establish realistic, data-backed engineering NPI schedules and manage risk registers to mitigate timeline slippage.
- Manage and process Change Requests (CRs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) across product lines.
- Oversee technical documentation standards, ensuring accurate tracking and archiving of design changes, drawings, and revision histories.
- Own and administer Change Request (CR) and Engineering Change Order (ECO) processes across product lines.
- Coordinate engineering changes from initial request through review, approval, implementation, and release.
- Ensure engineering changes are properly documented, communicated, and implemented across affected functions.
- Maintain accurate revision histories and ensure drawings, specifications, BOMs, and related technical documentation remain current.
- Establish and maintain disciplined documentation standards to support product integrity, traceability, and production readiness.
- Partner with Engineering and Operations to assess the operational, inventory, procurement, and production impacts of proposed changes.
- Ensure obsolete or superseded components are appropriately identified and transitioned through the product life cycle.
- Lead the hands-on configuration of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for engineering data structures.
- Set up and maintain engineering Bills of Materials (BOMs), routings, and item cards.
- Manage product life cycles within the ERP, including creating new part numbers, transitioning active components, and formally obsoleting end-of-life parts.
- Ensure seamless data alignment between engineering releases and procurement/inventory systems to eliminate production bottlenecks and scrap.
- Lead hands-on configuration and maintenance of engineering-related product data within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- Create and maintain item cards, engineering Bills of Materials (BOMs), routings, revisions, and other product master data.
- Create and maintain new part numbers in alignment with established engineering and business processes.
- Manage product life-cycle transitions, including new product introduction, active component changes, replacements, and end-of-life/obsolete parts.
- Ensure engineering releases are accurately reflected in ERP, procurement, inventory, and manufacturing systems.
- Partner with Supply Chain, Purchasing, Inventory, and Operations to identify and resolve data gaps that could create production delays, excess inventory, or scrap.
- Establish data integrity standards and controls that support accurate planning, purchasing, production, and inventory management.
- Help evolve Business Central processes and system functionality as ANA scales its commercial product portfolio.
