About the Role
We're looking for an experienced PLM Manager to own and administer our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system, ensuring it effectively supports engineering, integration, and business processes across the product lifecycle. This role combines technical system administration, data governance, and cross-functional process leadership — you'll be the go-to owner for how product data, BOMs, CAD, and item lifecycles flow through the organization. You'll partner closely with engineering, IT, sales, and quality to keep the platform reliable, scalable, and aligned with business needs.
Key Responsibilities
Own administration of the PLM system (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, Arena, Agile PLM, Propel, etc.), including configuration, workflows, user roles, and permissions
Define and enforce data governance standards: part numbering schemes, BOM structures, item/document lifecycle states, and classification/attribute standards
Manage system upgrades, patches, and platform roadmap in coordination with the software vendor and internal IT
Design and maintain PLM workflows to support engineering releases, change processes, and approvals
Oversee integrations between PLM and adjacent systems (ERP, MES, CAD tools, quality systems), ensuring clean, reliable data flow
Lead or support data migration efforts (e.g., legacy system consolidation, new site onboarding, M&A integration)
Troubleshoot system issues, manage support tickets, and act as primary liaison with the PLM vendor or implementation partner
Train and support end users (engineers, CAD designers, manufacturing engineers) on PLM tools, workflows, and best practices
Monitor system performance, data quality, and usage metrics; recommend improvements
Partner with engineering leadership to align PLM capabilities with product development and configuration management needs
Manage PLM licensing, budget, and vendor contracts
Ensure PLM practices support compliance and audit requirements (e.g., traceability, revision control, document retention)
Evaluate and implement new PLM modules or capabilities (e.g., requirements management, MBOM/EBOM reconciliation, supplier collaboration)
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience)
5+ years of experience administering or managing a PLM system in an engineering or manufacturing environment
Hands-on experience configuring PLM workflows, data models, and user permissions
Strong understanding of product data structures: BOMs (EBOM/MBOM), CAD data management, item/document lifecycles
Experience integrating PLM with ERP, MES, or CAD systems
Solid understanding of configuration management principles (e.g., EIA-649, ISO 10007)
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills; comfortable working with both technical system issues and business process design
Excellent communication skills, with ability to work across engineering, IT, manufacturing, and quality teams
