- Modernize and optimize ERP, PLM and related integrations to improve usability, visibility, accuracy and speed.
- Ensure accurate, timely processing of engineering change requests (ECRs), engineering change notices (ECNs), drawings, specifications, procedures, bills of material and associated records.
- Create efficient, user-friendly processes for document review, approval, release, distribution, retention, archival and disposition.
- Maintain alignment with company procedures, customer and contractual requirements, and applicable standards and regulations, including AS9100 and ITAR.
- Serve as a trusted leader during internal, customer, and regulatory audits by ensuring records are complete, accurate, accessible and audit-ready.
- Partner across Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Program Management, and other functions so released documentation accurately reflects product and process changes.
- Champion process automation, standardization, and practical digital solutions that reduce manual effort, eliminate bottlenecks and improve responsiveness.
- Equip employees with clear training, tools, and resources that make compliant document practices easier to understand and follow.
- Represent document control in company-wide quality, configuration management, digital transformation and operational excellence initiatives.
Leadership Impact- Lead with clarity, inclusion and a hands-on commitment to helping people do their best work.
- Set meaningful goals, provide timely coaching and recognition and create individualized development opportunities.
- Plan resources, balance priorities, strengthen team capability and connect day-to-day work to broader business objectives.

- Typically 2 or more years of people leadership, team leadership, or supervisory experience, with evidence of building capability and improving performance.
- Practical knowledge of engineering change management and quality management systems such as AS9100 or ISO 9001.
- Experience using and improving ERP, PLM, EDMS, or comparable platforms.
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated industry is strongly valued.
Skills That Will Help You Succeed- Clear understanding of engineering drawings, specifications, bills of material, document lifecycles, and configuration management principles.
- Ability to turn complex regulatory and quality requirements into clear, practical, and scalable processes.
- A collaborative leadership style that builds trust, accountability, and productive partnerships across technical and operational teams.
- Strong organizational, project management, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
