Key Responsibilities

Configuration Strategy & Planning: * Develop and maintain the Configuration Management (CM) Plan by synthesizing inputs such as the Project Scope, Function Implementation Plan, Project Handbook, and Release Plan.
Ensure compliance with overarching standards, regulations, and internal policies
Software Baseline Control & Release Management: * Maintain and update the Software Configuration Item (CI) List for all project deliveries.
Assemble and verify software delivery packages, ensuring all mandatory components (A2L, HEX, Test Reports, SW Release Notes, Traceability Reports, and Bootloaders) are present and accurate.
Execute delivery baselining following internal Process Instructions.
Repository & Version Control: * Manage the Stage Repository for secure data archival and strict version control of software collections.
Implement and manage branching and baselining strategies using industry-standard version control systems.
Auditing & Monitoring: * Conduct Configuration Monitor and Audit Activities to verify strict adherence to the project release plan and configuration strategy.
Generate and present Configuration Audit Reports to stakeholders.
Change & Issue Management: * Evaluate inputs such as Defects and Change Requests (CRs) to maintain accurate configuration identification.
Monitor missing delivery items via issue-tracking tools and coordinate directly with Software Managers and cross-functional teams to drive resolution.
