1. Top-Level Assembly Configuration Ownership 

• Assembly Ownership: Serve as the named owner of a designated top-level assembly (TLA), responsible for its structure, release state, and configuration integrity from concept through production. 

• Subassembly Coordination: Partner with subassembly leads to maintain alignment between subordinate models and the TLA, including merge cadence, naming conventions, structural standards, interfaces, space claim, and modeling best practices. 

• Conflict Resolution: Drive resolution of configuration conflicts between subassemblies and ensure design intent preservation across the assembly hierarchy. 

2. Cross-Functional Interface Coordination 

• Interface Tracking: Partner with the Systems Engineer to track and document mechanical-to-electrical, mechanical-to-fluid, and mechanical-to-software interfaces relevant to the assigned TLA. 

• Interface Register: Maintain a PDM-based interface register based on an authoritative source that reflects the current physical and logical boundaries between subsystems. 

• Drift Detection: Flag interface drift early including geometry, tolerance, and connector changes and lead the change-control conversation when shifts occur. 

3. Teamcenter PDM Operations 

• System Administration: Serve as the system administrator for Teamcenter, accountable for environment uptime, system upgrades, and patch cycles. 

• Licensing: Support negotiations for Teamcenter licensing with Siemens and adjacent partners by providing information on usage and managing seat allocation, and steward annual or multi-year renewals. 

• Feature Lifecycle: Scope, test, evaluate, and roll out new Teamcenter features and modules in response to evolving company needs, in coordination with IT and engineering leadership. 

• PDM Proliferation: Lead integration of Teamcenter into the larger company software stack.  For example, PDM interaction with Manufacturing and Test software platforms. 

4. Access Control & Workflow Governance 

• Access Control: Own user access and permissions for Teamcenter and Siemens NX, including provisioning, role definitions, and periodic access reviews. 

• Workflow Templates: Define and maintain Teamcenter workflow templates (release, change, review) so that the process is consistent across teams and meets the needs of the team for speed versus complexity. 

• Workflow Auditing: Audit workflow activity, identify bottlenecks, and iterate workflow design with feedback from all company stakeholders. 

5. Training & Documentation 

• CAD and Configuration Training: Develop and deliver training on CAD and configuration management practices, including modeling best practices, top-level assembly structure, subassembly coordination, and naming and merge conventions. 

• Teamcenter Usage Training: Build and maintain onboarding and ongoing-use training for Teamcenter, covering navigation, item creation, revision control, and day-to-day data management. 

• Release Workflow Training: Author training and reference materials that walk users through release workflows, including ECO/ECR initiation, review responsibilities, approval routing, and post-release obligations. 

• Best-Practice Documentation: Maintain a living set of best-practice guides and quick-reference documents for the engineering organization, updated as Teamcenter features and CAD practices evolve. 

6. Additional Support 

• VFX and Marketing Graphics: Interface with and provide support to VFX and marketing groups for graphics generation, as necessary. 

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline. 

• Five to seven years of professional experience in mechanical design and CAD, including ownership of complex assemblies in Siemens NX or an equivalent commercial CAD package. 

• Hands-on experience administering Teamcenter or another commercial PLM platform (e.g., Windchill, Enovia). 

• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across engineering disciplines on shared deliverables, including interface management with systems engineering. 

• Working familiarity with engineering change management (ECO/ECR) and release control. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in documenting configuration management and PDM administration practices, and in producing training materials for technical audiences. 

Preferred Qualifications 

• Direct experience as the named owner of a top-level assembly on a hardware product through release. 

• Prior responsibility for PDM license negotiation or vendor management. 

• Familiarity with Model-Based Definition (MBD), Design-in-Context methodologies, and Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) workflows. 

• Experience designing or auditing Teamcenter workflow templates. 

• Experience developing and delivering technical training for engineering teams (CAD, PDM, or workflow-related). 

• Experience in fusion energy, aerospace, defense, medical devices, or another regulated hardware environment. 

• Familiarity with NX Open or Teamcenter customization (BMIDE, ITK, or comparable).
