Staff PLM & Engineering Applications Engineer, Consumer Devices

About the Role

As a Staff PLM & Engineering Applications Engineer, you will be one of the first technical builders of HEX and the primary counterpart to the HEX lead.

You will own the engineering-application and product-data side of the hardware engineering experience, with an initial focus on NX, Teamcenter, licensing, parts import, integrations, packaging, validation, and user workflows.

This is not a traditional Teamcenter administration role and not a Corporate IT application-support role. You will take complex, fragile workflows and turn them into reliable engineering systems.

This role is highly hands-on and systems-oriented. You will not inherit a mature environment and support queue. You will help build a fresh one, replacing manual setup guides, tribal knowledge, repeated support issues, and team handoffs with tested automation and reliable workflows.

In This Role, You Will

• Own the technical architecture, deployment, configuration, integration, validation, and long-term operation of NX and Teamcenter.
• Build reliable workflows for parts import, product-data migration, metadata quality, BOMs, revisions, lifecycle states, and release processes.
• Replace manual setup documentation with automated installation, configuration, validation, diagnostics, and recovery workflows.
• Build tooling around NX, Teamcenter, MCAD, ECAD, CAE, plugins, licenses, and engineering environments.
• Define and validate the golden path for hardware engineers: access, open, design, save, retrieve, release, simulate, and get help.
• Partner with mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, simulation, manufacturing, systems, and product-design teams to understand where workflows break.
• Work with Compute & Infrastructure-focused HEX Engineers so applications, product data, storage, VDI, HPC, and licenses feel like one coherent system.
• Partner with contractors and vendors while keeping architecture, requirements, validation, acceptance, and long-term ownership inside HEX.
• Build health checks, regression tests, observability, diagnostics, and support tooling that make failures easy to detect and recover from.
• Help establish the technical standards, operating model, and engineering culture for the growing HEX organization.

You Might Thrive in This Role If You

• Have deep hands-on experience with Teamcenter, NX, PLM systems, and CAD workflows in a hardware product-development environment.
• Have owned PLM architecture, data models, integrations, migrations, parts imports, release workflows, and engineering application platforms.
• Can write automation in Python, PowerShell, Bash, and similar tools.
• Have experience with packaging, deployment, licensing, validation, and application integrations.
• Understand parts, revisions, BOMs, configurations, lifecycle states, and change workflows.
• Can debug across applications, infrastructure, licenses, VDI, networking, storage, compute, and product data.
• Prefer building durable tooling and automation instead of managing ticket queues.
• See a four-page setup guide and immediately want to replace it with a tested installer.
• Are comfortable in a new bootstrapped team where the environment, standards, workflows, and operating model are still being built.
• Can work directly with engineers, understand their pain, and turn repeated problems into reliable systems.

Minimum Qualifications

• Experience with Teamcenter Active Workspace, BMIDE, ITK, SOA/REST, and Teamcenter customization.
• Experience with NX Open, managed mode, customer defaults, templates, licensing, packaging, and upgrades.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with PLM migrations, legacy part imports, data cleanup, ERP integrations, and ECAD integrations.
• Experience with MCAD, ECAD, CAE/FEA, HPC, VDI/AVD, GPU workstations, and engineering storage.
• Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, infrastructure automation, and self-service systems.
• Experience in complex hardware-development environments, including consumer devices, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or embedded systems.
