Job Description

The Role

At GM, Engineering Product Development supports the design and release of vehicle systems, components, and parts from concept through production. The work includes developing and maintaining vehicle engineering bills of material (BOMs), managing part definitions and attributes, coordinating design changes and release activities, ensuring product data is accurate and traceable, and partnering with engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, suppliers, and other functions to support vehicle programs. This organization helps ensure vehicle content is well-defined, integrated, and ready for manufacturing, service, and ongoing product updates.

The Product Development PLM IT Organization that supports Engineering Product Development is seeking a Sr. Teamcenter Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Solutions Engineer to serve as the primary liaison between Engineering business stakeholders and technical delivery teams. As part of a major transformation to consolidate legacy systems into Siemens Teamcenter, this role will capture and translate business requirements into scalable product structure, vehicle engineering BOM, and part management solutions. The SME will define functional blueprints, map complex product structures, and collaborate with PLM architects, developers, data migration teams, and technical delivery partners to ensure Teamcenter configurations, data models, integrations, and module deployments align with business needs. This role will help establish a modern PLM foundation that enables accurate product definition, efficient design and release processes, strong data governance, and consistent adoption across vehicle programs.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct workshops with engineering and business stakeholders to deeply understand their data structures, engineering change cycles, and variant management needs, and translate these into clear technical specifications.
• Design end-to-end solutions for multi-level Product BOMs, variant configurations, effectivity controls, and the alignment between Engineering BOMs (eBOM) and Design BOMs (dBOM).
• Define how Teamcenter out-of-the-box capabilities should be leveraged versus where customization is required, and map business objects, attributes, and relationships for the technical team to input into the Business Modeler Integrated Development Environment (BMIDE).
• Work hand-in-hand with our established PLM Technical Lead and development team to provide them with functional requirements, structural wireframes, and business logic to guide their custom development.
• Architect the functional flow of engineering change management processes, ensuring workflow templates and access managers match business compliance rules.
• Oversee User Acceptance Testing (UAT), validate that the technical team's deployments meet the original business intent, and lead functional troubleshooting.
• Own the development of business process models, functional and non-functional user stories, and product backlogs from initial project definition through to production transition.
• Partner directly with business stakeholders to build and execute comprehensive UAT and training plans, ensuring smooth application transitions.
• Independently lead and facilitate workshops with end-users, asking probing questions to elicit deep business process discussions and map complex process flow diagrams.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

• 5-7 yrs of experience in an applicable business environment, specifically focusing on Siemens Teamcenter PLM solutions architecture, deployment, and hands-on environment configuration.
• Bachelor's degree (technical discipline preferred, such as Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or Management Information Systems) or equivalent experience.
• Practical, technical literacy in installing, patching, tuning, and configuring multi-tier Teamcenter environments (Web, Enterprise, FMS/FSC tiers).
• Thorough understanding of vehicle program lifecycles, component tracking, and variant-rich configuration management (options/features).
• Robust understanding of automotive product lifecycles, configuration management, and large scale Teamcenter enterprise transformations.

What Will Give You a Competitive Advantage (Preferred Qualifications)

• Direct, prioritize, and coach team members while cultivating an accountable, high-performing team culture.
• Proven knowledge navigating large-scale PLM migrations, legacy data strategies, system decommissioning, and global user rollouts.
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead high-visibility meetings and facilitate sessions with end-users, using probing questions to extract clear requirements.
• Highly structured approach to managing personal output and driving team sprint velocity.
• Proactive approach to executing tasks, building functional blueprints, debugging environment configurations, and driving projects to completion.
• Strong risk-management capability to call out system bottlenecks, downstream Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) data drops, or design gaps early.
• Ability to synthesize complex technical Teamcenter dependencies for executive review with little to no direction.
