- Create and update items, drawings, and linked data in INFOR (or similar ERP).

- Ensure documentation meets ISO 9001, AS9100, and ITAR/EAR compliance standards.
- Maintain organized records in IDM, PLM, SharePoint, or other document management systems.
- Work with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality to ensure documentation reflects current processes.
- Assist with templates, labels, and reports using Bartender or equivalent software.
- Support audits, configuration reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Perform additional tasks as assigned and follow all Dayton-Granger safety procedures.
Required Qualifications:
- Associate's Degree required; Bachelor's degree preferred (Engineering, Business, or other technical field).
- 3 years of experience in document control, engineering documentation, or manufacturing administrative support.
- Experience with ERP systems (INFOR preferred) and document management tools (IDM, PLM, SharePoint, etc.).
- Ability to read and understand engineering drawings, BOM structures, and revision changes.
- Familiarity with ISO 9001 / AS9100 requirements and ITAR/EAR data rules.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and accuracy.
- Ability to work across departments and manage multiple tasks in a busy environment.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills in English.
