- Act as the primary POC with implementation partners, driving program plans, phased rollouts, testing, training, and change management
- Ensure engineering releases are accurately reflected in downstream systems impacting manufacturing, supply chain, finance/accounting, and maintenance/service
- Collaborate closely with engineering, operations, and IT/compliance teams to deliver scalable and secure solutions
- Define and monitor KPIs to measure system performance, data integrity, and business impact
- Embed industry best practices, emerging technologies, and requirements related to engineering data management
Desired Qualifications:
- 10+ years of experience in Product Management or equivalent roles, specifically focused on Engineering Tools (CAD, PLM)
- Proven track record delivering and executing roadmaps for PLM platforms (i.e. NX, Teamcenter, 3DX, Arena, Agile, etc.)
- Deep understanding of engineering release processes and their implications on supply chain, manufacturing, finance/accounting
- Strong understanding of the differences in CAD file formats with the ability to audit, repair, and validate migrated models to ensure dimensional accuracy and functionality
- Strong experience managing PLM infrastructure and integrations across business systems
- Solid understanding of Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM) and Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) structures, including how CAD data flows into both
- Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale PLM implementations and manage vendor relationships and program execution
- Excellent communication and Strong systems thinking and analytical skills; ability to identify and solve complex cross-functional problems
Preferred Qualifications:
- Hands-on knowledge of CAD systems (i.e. SolidWorks, NX, CATIA) and their integration with PLM
- Experience in high-growth manufacturing or hardware-centric companies
