Engineering Technician

Engineering Technician. Position Overview. Production-facing owner of controlled engineering documentation and ERP master data for heavygauge thermoforming programs (returnable packaging preferred). Ensures Solid. Works/EPDMreleased specifications and Net. Suite item masters, BOMs, routings, notes, and work order packetsare accurate and at the latest approved release prior to production work order release—then maintained throughout the production lifecycle.

Administers Engineering Change. Requests/Orders and deviations by routing approvals, tracking progress, and ensuringimplementation and closure. Provides immediate support to plant questions during normalbusiness hours and participates in daily production cadence to eliminate documentation-drivendowntime and errors.Key Responsibilities.

Engineering Documentation Control (EPDM / Solid. Works)• Prepare, revise, and re-release Solid. Works drawings, layouts, and specifications used forproduction-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 largeinstalled base of production molds.

• Execute quick-turn drawing edits, controlled release timing, and distribution tostakeholders to support urgent production needs.• Validate print/release accuracy and ensure correct revision content is included inproduction packets and distributed appropriately.• Prepares for and participates in Production Launch Error Proof meetings, presentingrequired information for stakeholder review and signoff before shop packet release.

ERP Administration (Net. Suite Master Data)• Create and maintain Net. Suite 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 packaginginstructions to support correct production execution.

• Perform BOM and inventory hygiene to ensure work order BOMs reflect all required runcomponents (e.g., logos, inserts, plugs, packaging pallets/lids/covers, and other requireditems as applicable).• Coordinate work order refresh/reprint when ERP data changes are required, ensuring thefloor is working from the latest approved packet.

• Maintain accuracy between EPDM released documentation and Net. Suite records to preventERP–drawing “revision drift.”Change Control (ECR / ECO / EC) and Deviations• Administer the Engineering Change process end-to-end: review submissions, routeapprovals, notify owners, track progress, and document completion.• Manage evidence folders and change records, ensuring compliance to ISO 9001:2015document control and traceability expectations.

• Drive implementation of approved changes in both EPDM/drawing systems and Net. Suite,ensuring effective communication and release readiness.• Initiate and route deviations; confirm correct classification (temporary vs. permanent),obtain approvals, and document closure/effectivity.Production Readiness and Cross-Functional Coordination• Attend daily production meetings / engineering-production cadence and aligndocumentation priorities to production schedule needs.

• Support work order release readiness through packet reviews and cross-functionalcoordination (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, andengineering teams related to production-released specifications.

External / Offsite Communication (as applicable)• 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 referencingcontrolled documentation and clarifying released vs.

estimated information.Desired Qualifications• 3–5 years’ experience supporting heavy gauge thermoforming in a production environment(returnable packaging strongly preferred).• Strong proficiency with Solid. Works (drawings, revisions, release discipline).• Strong proficiency with Net. Suite (item masters, BOMs, routings, routing notes, packet-impacting data).

• Working experience with EPDM/PDM release workflows, revision control, and documentmetadata.• Demonstrated experience working within ISO 9001:2015 requirements for documentcontrol and engineering change control.• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and Teams for trackers, audits, and cross-functionalcoordination.• Ability to support production questions with urgency and accuracy during normal businesshours; strong follow-through to closure.

• Proficiency with ECR database administration (workflow configuration/support, evidencefolder structure, reporting).• Demonstrated experience cleaning up and maintaining legacy CAD and ERP data at scale(high tool count / high change volume).Work Environment + Language Requirements• Global remote position (must be outside U.

S.)• Requires at least 3 hours of overlap with U.S. Central Time each day• Minimal or no travel• Fluency in the English language; written and verbal proficiency (B2 level minimum on CEFRscale)• Reports to a U.S.-based Engineering Manager. This is a remote opportunity.
