PDM Administrator

PDM Administration

Administer and maintain the PDM vault, including users, groups, permissions, workflows, templates, file cards, data cards, and folder structures.

Support proper control of engineering information through check-in/check-out practices, version history, revision control, and release states.

Troubleshoot PDM user issues and provide timely support to engineers, designers, manufacturing personnel, and other technical users.

Maintain PDM structure in alignment with engineering standards, project/system organization, and document numbering practices.

Maintain and improve PDM workflows for engineering review, approval, release, manufacturing handoff, change control, and archive/export.

Support development of PDM-based release processes for manufacturing, including model-based release packages and quantity-based manufacturing requests.

Aid in identifying workflow gaps or inefficiencies and recommending practical improvements that reduce rework and improve engineering execution.

Workflow and Release Support

Maintain and improve PDM workflows for engineering review, approval, release, manufacturing handoff, change control, and archive/export.

Support development of the broader engineering configuration and data management system.

Help align PDM practices with engineering document control, configuration management, manufacturing release, and future official records systems.

Aid in migration or transfer of released engineering information from PDM to downstream records or configuration management systems, as required.

Engineering Data and Configuration Management Support

Support the organization, control, and retrieval of all engineering-controlled information within PDM.

Assist with development of the broader engineering configuration and data management system.

Support migration or transfer of released engineering information from PDM to downstream records or configuration management systems, as required.

Participate in development and maintenance of engineering standards related to PDM use, file control, numbering, release packages, and configuration management.

User Training and Process Adoption

Train and support PDM users on workflows, file management expectations, release practices, and document control requirements.

Develop or maintain user guides, quick-reference instructions, and basic training materials.

Promote consistent use of PDM across the engineering organization.

Work with engineering leadership and discipline leads to improve user compliance, resolve recurring issues, and strengthen data integrity.

Technical Leadership

Serve as a senior technical resource for test engineering practices, test documentation, and execution discipline.

Help establish scalable test engineering processes, templates, expectations, and best practices suitable for an R&D and first-of-a-kind equipment environment.

Mentor engineers and technicians involved in test planning, execution, data review, and troubleshooting.

Support development of the test engineering function with the potential to grow into future people leadership responsibilities.
