  • Coordinate with internal teams to gather missing information and clarify incomplete inputs.
  • Support the assembly of documentation packages for internal reviews (e.g., design reviews, test readiness reviews).

  • Maintain document logs, lists, trackers, and simple databases as needed.
  • Perform routine data-entry tasks, including populating fields, records, and documentation into the company’s developing MRP/ERP system based on engineering-provided data.
  • Verify accuracy and completeness of entered data, ensuring consistency with source documents and company standards.
  • Perform other administrative and clerical duties related to technical documentation support.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelors degree
  • 2+ years of experience preparing or updating technical, operational, or procedural documents in an office or administrative setting.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), including formatting, tables, headers/footers, and templates.
  • Experience performing data entry with high accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Ability to organize information clearly and follow structured formatting and documentation standards.
  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy in transcription and document preparation.
  • Ability to manage multiple incoming requests and maintain revision schedules and logs.

PREFERRED (BUT NOT REQUIRED) CHARACTERISTICS

  • Ability to conduct basic completeness and consistency checks before routing documents for approval.
  • Familiarity with aerospace or engineering terminology (mechanical, electrical, software, test).

  • Experience working within a quality system environment (e.g., AS9100D) or supporting structured documentation workflows.
  • Exposure to simple document traceability practices (revision history, source tracking, approval routing).
  • Experience entering, updating, or verifying data in an MRP/ERP system (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Epicor).
  • Comfort navigating structured fields, dropdowns, and attribute tables within enterprise systems.
  • Experience with document management or PLM systems (e.g., Polarion ALM, Arena, Windchill, SharePoint).
  • Ability to apply consistent formatting across documents containing tables, figures, and appendices.
  • Familiarity with standard industry documentation conventions (e.g., MIL-STD formatting guidance, FAA terminology).
