Job Description:
This role owns the success, reliability, and user adoption of the company’s Siemens Teamcenter PLM environment—ensuring engineering data, CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and released product definitions remain accurate, traceable, and compliant throughout the aircraft product lifecycle. You will lead the Configuration Management discipline and serve as the system owner for Teamcenter configuration, integrations, governance, and continuous improvement. 

What you'll do:

  • Own Teamcenter success: act as end-to-end system owner for PLM configuration, reliability, and user adoption. 
  • Design with stakeholders, enforce, and continuously improve change control (ECR/ECO workflows, revision/release status rules, baselines, traceability) to ensure disciplined engineering releases. 
  • Administer and configure Teamcenter (roles/permissions, licensing, user access, data structures, workflows, configuration settings) to support efficient, high quality operations.  
  • Own PLM integrations and data flow (Teamcenter ↔ ERP and other tools): define data ownership, troubleshoot issues, and drive fixes/enhancements with IT/vendors. 
  • Manage engineering standards access: maintain subscriptions and access to current technical standards (ISO/ASTM/MIL/SAE/IPC) and ensure internal references stay current.
  • Required qualifications:

  • 5+ years in PLM administration, Configuration Management, or related work in a rigorous regulated manufacturing environment (aerospace strongly preferred). 
  • Expert-level Teamcenter knowledge, including configuration and administration (e.g., data model concepts, workflows, access controls, release structures). 
  • Demonstrated ownership of engineering change control processes and ability to coordinate stakeholders, and design, implement, and enforce robust workflows. 
  • Strong technical writing skills: can produce procedures that are accurate, auditable, and easy for engineers to follow. 
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). 
  • High attention to detail, strong organization, and ability to manage multiple workstreams without losing configuration integrity. 
  • Preferred qualifications:

  • B.S. degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) discipline, such as Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering 
    2+ years of managing a team 
    Experience with SAE EIA-649 and MIL-HDBK-61B 
    Certification in CM2, CCMP, CPCM, PMP, or similar 
    Experience with PLM integrations (ERP/MRP), workflow automation, and structured rollout/testing practices.
