PLM Engineer (Windchill / Teamcenter)

Job Summary

We are seeking a PLM Engineer with deep experience operating either PTC Windchill or Siemens Teamcenter in large enterprise environments. In this role you will own the technical operation of the PLM platform — installation, configuration, performance tuning, upgrades, integrations, and high availability — and partner with functional, engineering, and manufacturing teams to deliver a reliable, performant, and secure PLM ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities

• Install, configure, and operate Windchill or Teamcenter environments across development, test, and production.
• Lead PLM upgrades, patches, and platform migrations with minimal disruption.
• Manage PLM application servers, web servers, database connectivity, and method servers.
• Operate file vaults, replication services, and CAD data management subsystems.
• Implement and tune HA/DR strategies for PLM environments, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
• Optimize PLM performance through query tuning, caching, indexing, and JVM tuning.
• Manage user provisioning, security configurations, and audit support, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
• Operate PLM integration brokers and middleware connectors, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
• Develop automation scripts using shell, Python, or Ansible to reduce operational toil.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
• Monitor PLM health using native tooling and integrated observability platforms.
• Provide hands-on post-go-live and hypercare support, working closely with operations teams to triage incidents quickly, identify root causes, and drive durable fixes that improve long-term system stability.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time.
• Drive continuous improvement of the PLM platform, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of PLM platform administration experience.
• Hands-on experience with either PTC Windchill or Siemens Teamcenter in production.
• Strong experience with PLM upgrades and migrations.
• Working knowledge of Oracle and SQL Server database administration.
• Strong Linux/Unix administration skills.
• Experience operating HA/DR for PLM environments.
• Familiarity with PLM integration brokers and middleware.
• Scripting skills in shell, Python, or Ansible.
• Excellent troubleshooting and documentation skills.
• Experience operating PLM on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI).
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code for PLM environments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD patterns for PLM change management.
• PTC or Siemens PLM certifications.
• Experience with CAD integration patterns at scale.
