  • Mentor architects and engineers while developing reusable practices to improve architecture maturity across teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technology field.
  • 8+ years of experience in solution architecture, enterprise architecture, PLM architecture, engineering systems architecture, or related roles.
  • Experience architecting enterprise PLM solutions with practical experience using Windchill.
  • Strong understanding of PLM lifecycle processes including product data management, document management, and change control.
  • Experience designing or guiding integrations across complex enterprise landscapes.
  • Ability to create practical architecture guidance for PLM and engineering-system environments.
  • Skill in identifying technical risks, system dependencies, scalability needs, debt, and compliance implications.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills within regulated or complex enterprise technology environments.
