Process Improvement: Optimize the ECR/ECO (Engineering Change) process to improve throughput and accuracy.

Templates & Forms: Develop standardized engineering templates and forms to ensure traceability and consistency across all projects.

Training & Mentorship

Onboarding: Lead the technical onboarding for new engineers and drafters regarding systems, workflows, and data handling.

Support: Act as the internal Subject Matter Expert (SME) for PDM troubleshooting and design standard interpretation.

What We're Looking For:

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related field (equivalent technical experience will be considered).

Experience: 4-8 years supporting engineering organizations, specifically in CAD/PDM administration, design documentation, or configuration management.

Environment: Proven experience in regulated industries (Aerospace, Defense, or Naval Systems) handling controlled technical data.

Preferred Qualifications

Systems: Expert-level knowledge of SolidWorks PDM, Teamcenter, or similar PLM/PDM suites.

Standards: Deep understanding of ASME Y14.5 GD&T and engineering revision control.

Compliance: Familiarity with CUI, ITAR, CMMC, and export control data handling practices.

Process: Experience managing ECR/ECO workflows and integrating PDM with ERP systems.

What We Offer:

Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family

Competitive salary
