CAD/PLM Program Manager

What You'll Do

• You don't just know how to use the tools—you know the tips, tricks, and workarounds that make engineers 10x more productive
• You get energy from helping others succeed and light up when someone has that "aha moment" during training
• You create training content that people actually want to use because it's clear, practical, and solves real problems
• You form recommendations based on deep experimentation and hands-on testing, not just what the manual says
• When you discover a better way, you change course quickly and update your recommendations without ego
• You seek feedback from users and iterate on your processes based on real-world results
• You understand how data moves through our various downstream systems and optimize data flow
• You are able to identify overlapping capabilities and optimize for global organization.
• You will work with a high-functioning team of engineers in various cross functional teams with an emphasis on identifying and finishing business-critical projects
• You will help troubleshoot technical issues including those related with deployment, configuration and ongoing support

  Required Characteristics

  • Bias for Action - they ask for forgiveness, not permission, and hate the idea of waiting around to be told what to do
  • Outcome-Oriented - they determine what benefits the business needs and work backwards from those outcomes
  • Customer Focused - they display user empathy to boost engagement and build experiences that delight
  • Strong Product Sense - they know when in the product’s lifecycle to focus on optimizing the end user experience and when to focus on enterprise-level functionality
  • Dive Deep - they sweat the details and roll up their sleeves to uncover the root causes for systemic issues, be it technical shortfalls or lack of user comprehension of a product
  • Ownership - they care deeply not just about their products, but for all the business outcomes that their systems supports as well, holding themselves accountable for everything it both does and fails to do
  • Agility - they change directions easily and without regret, quickly adapting to shifting business priorities
  • First Principles Thinking - they approach problems and develop solutions not based on what a vendor recommends or because it’s how they did things at their last job, but from a deep appreciation of what is best for the enterprise

  Required Qualifications

  • You have 5+ years of experience in a design engineering role building products, ideally in a fast-paced environment
  • You hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering or related technical field (or equivalent education/work experience)
  • You prioritize solutions that deliver immediate value to engineers over perfect but complex approaches
  • You understand that adoption is as important as capability—the best process is the one people actually use
  • You possess deep expertise in at least one engineering discipline and its associated tool stack (CAD, CAE, PLM, or discipline-specific applications)
  • You have a strong understanding of engineering workflows from concept through production
  • You have hands-on experience using engineering design tools and can quickly learn new platforms
  • You have proven ability to troubleshoot technical issues and find practical solutions
  • You are a U.S. Person (required for export control)
