• Evaluate make-versus-buy decisions for engineering tools and workflows, then implement or administer the resulting solutions
• Configure and extend Teamcenter using BMIDE, APIs, scripting, and custom development
• Build and integrate the tools that enable a seamless flow of product data across the company
• Troubleshoot engineering systems and user workflows to keep product development moving
• Define the long-term roadmap for Astro Mechanica's engineering systems while remaining hands-on in day-to-day execution

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of experience administering, developing, or architecting PLM systems in a product development environment
• Experience with Siemens Teamcenter, NX, and BMIDE
• Experience developing automation using Python, APIs, or other scripting languages
• Experience implementing or integrating ERP and other enterprise engineering systems
• Demonstrated experience with product lifecycle management, engineering change management, configuration management, and product data management principles
• Experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain organizations
• Excellent troubleshooting skills and the ability to solve complex technical problems across software, infrastructure, and engineering workflows

PERKS & BENEFITS:

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
• 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan
• Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time
