Responsibilities

Enterprise Architecture (Zoom-out): You are responsible for the holistic "Big Picture" of our Hardware Engineering IT. You ensure that individual decisions in 3DX Enovia or Arena PLM do not lead to isolated silos, but fit into a long-term, scalable enterprise architecture

Hands-on Implementation (Zoom-in): You don't just stay on the slide-deck level. You configure data models, validate interfaces (MCAD/ECAD) technically yourself, and conduct Proof-of-Concepts (PoC) to prove the feasibility of your strategy

Integration Design: You design the "Digital Thread" across a heterogeneous landscape (Dassault, Autodesk, Altium, Cadence, Altair). You define where data sovereignty lies (Master Data Management) and how systems communicate via API/Web Services

Process Harmonization: You abstract complex detailed requirements from mechanics and electronics into generic, maintainable processes (Mechatronic BOM Management, Change Management/ECO) and align them with industry standards

Technology Radar & Benchmarking: You evaluate new tools and updates. You leverage your experience from other ecosystems (e.g., Siemens Teamcenter) to benchmark our architecture against the market and establish "Best-of-Breed" solutions
