  • Experience configuring NX templates, customization files, role-based settings, and standardized environments for multi-user deployments.
  • Experience creating and maintaining part families, product configurators, and reusable component libraries.
  • Working knowledge of interpreting NX Logs and Sys Logs.
  • Demonstrated ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and CAD/PLM technical documentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to interact with all levels of the organization.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent (preferred).
  • Significant experience developing automation and customizations using NXOpen API or Knowledge Fusion (preferred).
