Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Learntastic is a company focused on heavy gauge thermoforming programs, and they are seeking a Thermoforming Technical Document & Data Control Specialist. The role involves managing controlled engineering documentation and ERP master data, ensuring accuracy and compliance throughout the production lifecycle.
Responsibilities
- 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
Skills
- 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)
- Fluency in the English language; written and verbal proficiency (B2 level minimum on CEFR scale)
