Engineering Technician

Role Overview

• Prepare, revise, and re-release SolidWorks drawings, layouts, and specifications used for production-released manufacturing.
• Maintain EPDM/PDM records and metadata (cards), ensuring correct revision, release state, and traceable history.
• Manage redlines, legacy drawing cleanup, and controlled re-release activities across a large installed base of production molds.
• Execute quick-turn drawing edits, controlled release timing, and distribution to stakeholders to support urgent production needs.
• Validate print/release accuracy and ensure correct revision content is included in production packets and distributed appropriately.
• Prepares for and participates in Production Launch Error Proof meetings, presenting required information for stakeholder review and signoff before shop packet release.
• Create and maintain NetSuite item master’s for manufactured and purchased components, ensuring accurate descriptions, attributes, and revision alignment.
• Build and maintain BOMs, routings, routing notes, work instructions and packaging instructions to support correct production execution.
• Perform BOM and inventory hygiene to ensure work order BOMs reflect all required run components (e.g., logos, inserts, plugs, packaging pallets/lids/covers, and other required items as applicable).
• Coordinate work order refresh/reprint when ERP data changes are required, ensuring the floor is working from the latest approved packet.
• Maintain accuracy between EPDM released documentation and NetSuite records to prevent ERP–drawing “revision drift.”
• Administer the Engineering Change process end-to-end: review submissions, route approvals, notify owners, track progress, and document completion.
• Manage evidence folders and change records, ensuring compliance to ISO 9001:2015 document control and traceability expectations.
• Drive implementation of approved changes in both EPDM/drawing systems and NetSuite, ensuring effective communication and release readiness.
• Initiate and route deviations; confirm correct classification (temporary vs. permanent), obtain approvals, and document closure/effectivity.
• Attend daily production meetings / engineering-production cadence and align documentation priorities to production schedule needs.
• Support work order release readiness through packet reviews and cross-functional coordination (Engineering, Planning, Purchasing, Quality, Production).
• Close documentation gaps for launches and urgent production needs (e.g., logos, inserts, plugs, packaging components, approvals, release/print issues).
• Provide responsive technical support to manufacturing, planning, purchasing, quality, and engineering teams related to production-released specifications.
• Communicate clear requirements to external plants/suppliers/offsite facilities as needed (e.g., verifying tool logos, component availability, documentation required to run).
• Respond to customer/sales requests for dimensions/specifications by referencing controlled documentation and clarifying released vs. estimated information.

Requirements

• 3–5 years’ experience supporting heavy gauge thermoforming in a production environment (returnable packaging strongly preferred).
• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks (drawings, revisions, release discipline).
• Strong proficiency with NetSuite (item masters, BOMs, routings, routing notes, packet-impacting data).
• Working experience with EPDM/PDM release workflows, revision control, and document metadata.
• Demonstrated experience working within ISO 9001:2015 requirements for document control and engineering change control.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Teams for trackers, audits, and cross-functional coordination.
• Ability to support production questions with urgency and accuracy during normal business hours; strong follow-through to closure.
• Proficiency with ECR database administration (workflow configuration/support, evidence folder structure, reporting).
• Demonstrated experience cleaning up and maintaining legacy CAD and ERP data at scale (high tool count / high change volume).
