Global Component Data Lead - Electronics

The opportunity:

Hitachi Energy is strengthening its ownership of electronic component data to enable transparency, lifecycle governance, and supply chain risk mitigation across its global portfolio. As Global Component Data Lead - Electronics, you will beresponsible for creating and governing a single, Hitachi Energy-owned source of truth for electronic components.This role establishes end-to-end control of component BOMs (cBOM), Approved Manufacturer Lists (AML), lifecycle status, multisourcing, and spend visibility, bridging R&D, Product Management, Supply Chain, and EMS partners. The role acts as the functional owner of component intelligence, forming the foundation for a future PLM-based solution, while initially delivering structured internal reporting and governance. Hitachi Energy is a global technology leader advancing a sustainable energy future. Our products rely on complex electronics and global supply chains, making component lifecycle governance, transparency, and resilience critical to long-term success. This role is a key enabler of future PLM success, ensuring Hitachi Energy owns and governs its electronic component intelligence globally.
