• Manage change history for process documents to maintain accurate and traceable records.
• Populate MPI templates with relevant process information and data.
• Insert and organize pictures and visual aids to support clear process instructions.
• Create draft instructions that accurately capture process steps and requirements.
• Organize process data to support engineering review and decision-making.
• Prepare documentation review packages for Process Engineers and other stakeholders.
• Maintain SharePoint project folders to ensure documents and records are easily accessible and well-organized.
• Maintain standard templates, training records, and documentation repositories for engineering and production teams.
• Support training activities by preparing training packages and maintaining cross-training records.
• Update and track skills matrices and qualification records to reflect current training and competency levels.
• Follow established procedures and work instructions to ensure consistent and compliant execution of tasks.
• Collaborate with the engineering team in a laboratory environment to support process development and validation activities.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple documentation and data tasks.
• Effective communication skills for collaborating with engineers and other team members.
• Ability to lift equipment as needed and work safely in a laboratory environment.
• Experience or exposure to production or industrial engineering environments.
• Comfort working with hardware and hardware development documentation.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience creating or maintaining process documentation such as MPIs, SOPs, work instructions, and build guides.
• Familiarity with process flow documentation and change management practices.
• Experience using SharePoint or similar document control and collaboration tools.
• Background in lab operations or validation activities.
• Interest in supporting engineering teams and learning more about process development.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to documentation accuracy.
• Ability to work independently while following established guidelines and standards.
