Staff PLM Architect

About the Role

Agility Robotics is deploying humanoid robots in logistics and manufacturing to tackle physically demanding and repetitive tasks, enhancing human potential.

Responsibilities

• Architect and own the end-to-end PLM landscape, including Windchill configuration, data models, workflows, and integrations with ERP, CAD, and MES systems.
• Define PLM standards, templates, and best practices; establish change management processes for BOM structures, engineering change orders (ECOs), and document control.
• Partner with engineering and manufacturing teams to capture business requirements and translate them into scalable PLM architecture and process designs.
• Drive system integrations between Windchill/Creo and downstream enterprise applications (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent ERP/MES).
• Auxiliary engineers in designing APIs, middleware, and integration platforms.
• Lead upgrades, migrations, and new module rollouts — from scoping and architecture through user acceptance testing and go-live support.
• Mentor junior PLM analysts and administrators; provide technical guidance and review architectural decisions across the team.
• Establish KPIs for PLM health, adoption, and data quality; produce executive-level reporting on platform performance and roadmap progress.

Qualifications

• 8–12 years of experience in enterprise PLM architecture and implementation within a manufacturing environment.
• Deep hands-on expertise with PTC Windchill, including data modeling, workflow configuration, access control, and CAD integration (Creo, SolidWorks, or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of BOM management (eBOM, mBOM, sBOM), ECO/ECR processes, document control, and configuration management.
• Experience architecting and implementing PLM integrations with ERP systems.
• Solid understanding of manufacturing processes, including NPI, production readiness, and supply chain workflows.
• Excellent communication skills — able to present complex architectural trade-offs to both technical and executive audiences.
• Potential bonus points: PTC Windchill certification or equivalent formal PLM platform credentials, familiarity with Industry 4.0 concepts, exposure to Agile/SAFe delivery frameworks, and enterprise architecture methodologies (TOGAF or similar).
• Requirements management familiarity, Creo, familiarity of integration technologies: REST/SOAP APIs, middleware platforms (terraform, AWS, Workato, Okta Workflows, or similar), and data transformation.
