At MedTech, we are strengthening the technology foundation that supports how products move through the R&D lifecycle — from product data and engineering workflows to connected downstream processes. We are looking for a Principal Architect, R&D PLM who can help shape that foundation in a practical, thoughtful, and future-ready way!
In this role, you will work across Product Lifecycle Management, related engineering systems, lifecycle data, and integrations with adjacent enterprise platforms. You will help teams make clear design choices, create reusable architecture guidance, and improve the consistency of the PLM landscape over time.
We need someone who understands enterprise PLM, can navigate a complex technology environment, and can turn domain knowledge into practical direction for teams and leaders. You will work with partners across R&D, Quality, Regulatory, Supply Chain, Data, product, platform, engineering, and architecture. You may also work with PLM vendors, implementation partners, system integrators, and other technology partners where needed.
What you will do
You will shape the future of R&D PLM architecture across MedTech, helping define how PLM capabilities, engineering systems, lifecycle data, and connected enterprise processes should evolve.
You will create practical blueprints, reference patterns, and design principles that help teams deliver consistently while improving the PLM landscape over time. This includes work across product data, document management, product and engineering change control, product structure, BOM / part configuration, engineering workflows, and related lifecycle processes.
You will guide platform evolution by identifying ways to simplify the landscape, increase reuse, reduce avoidable complexity, and support future capability needs. You will also support priority initiatives where PLM connects with adjacent platforms and enterprise capabilities.
You will help teams make informed decisions by identifying technical risks, system dependencies, security considerations, debt, and design trade-offs. You will also mentor architects, engineers, and technical contributors and help develop reusable practices that strengthen architecture maturity across teams.
What you bring
You bring strong PLM architecture experience and the judgment to balance current delivery needs with longer-term technology goals. You communicate clearly, build trusted relationships, and are comfortable working in an environment where business, technology, regulatory, and delivery needs all matter.
Required experience includes.
Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technology field; equivalent practical experience may be considered
8+ years of relevant experience in solution architecture, enterprise architecture, PLM architecture, engineering systems architecture, or related enterprise technology roles
strong experience architecting enterprise PLM solutions, including practical experience with Windchill
strong understanding of PLM lifecycle processes, including product data management, document management, product and engineering change control, product structure, BOM / part configuration, and engineering workflows
experience designing or guiding integrations across complex enterprise landscapes
ability to create practical architecture guidance for PLM and engineering-system environments
experience identifying technical risks, system dependencies, scalability needs, debt, and compliance implications
strong communication and relationship-building skills
experience working in regulated or complex enterprise technology environments
Preferred experience
We would also value experience in MedTech, life sciences, healthcare, manufacturing, or other regulated product-development environments.
A master's degree in a related technology field is preferred.
Experience with adjacent PLM and engineering platforms such as ThingWorx, Integrity, requirements management, CAD integrations, regulatory and quality-related product lifecycle records, UDI-related processes, or comparable capabilities would be helpful.
Experience with connected product lifecycle capabilities, engineering data integration, digital thread concepts, global or multi-region PLM transformation, architecture governance, integration platforms, APIs, data platforms, cloud or hybrid patterns, or event-driven architecture would also be beneficial.
Additional information
This role does not have direct people-management responsibility. You will provide technical leadership, mentoring, architecture guidance, and influence across teams.
