Responsibilities
Lead cross-functional teams to deliver a robust virtual manufacturing roadmap. Act as the primary owner of the Siemens EasyPlan ecosystem, ensuring it serves as the authoritative source for manufacturing planning
Oversee the complex data flow where EBOMs are cloned from 3DX to Teamcenter. Ensure the preservation of data integrity during synchronization (moving from daily to event-based), specifically managing how design intent translates into the MBOM, Product BOP, Plant BOP, and Bill of Equipment (BOE)
Apply a nuanced understanding of 3DX data structures—including evolution effectivity, variants, and filters—to ensure the "Common Occurrence Thread" of consumed parts is preserved throughout the lifecycle as data flows into Teamcenter
Lead the integration of EasyPlan with downstream engineering tools, including NX Line Designer, Process Simulate, and Plant Simulate. Ensure that process planning data flows seamlessly into layout design and robotic/logistics simulations
Provide technical oversight for complex Teamcenter installations. Lead efforts in tuning the system for high performance and scalability. Oversee and guide custom development, including Active Workspace (AWC) customization using JavaScript and backend logic via ITK (Integration Toolkit)
Responsible for the generation of Electronic Work Instructions (EWI) from the virtual environment and ensuring they are fed seamlessly to plant floor systems via IIoT, bridging the gap between "As Planned" and "As Manufactured."
Manage the lifecycle and rigorous change management of the MBOM and multi-level Bills of Process. Ensure that updates in 3DX design are reflected accurately in manufacturing structures without breaking consumption logic
Deploy Siemens GenAI Xcelerator and RAG models to enable intelligent querying of best-in-class process plans and layout optimization
Implement near real-time feedback loops from the plant floor back into the "As Planned" digital twin for continuous design iteration
Industrialize Siemens Dimensional Planning and Verification, integrating it with SYSML models from Magic Draw to optimize verification and avoid failure modes
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in industrial, Mechanical or Systems Engineering or equivalent combination of education and professional experience

5+ years of Technical Skills including: Proven experience in Active Workspace customization using JavaScript
Strong background in Teamcenter ITK development
Demonstrated experience tuning complex, large-scale Teamcenter installations for performance and scalability
3+ years of hands-on experience with EasyPlan, Teamcenter Manufacturing, and a working knowledge of how these integrate with NX Line Designer, Process Simulate, and Plant Simulate
4+ years of experience managing product teams and making strategic 'COTS vs. Custom' recommendations for enterprise software
3+ years' experience managing MBOM and BOP synchronization in a multi-PLM landscape, with a focus on preserving the 'Common Occurrence Thread'
Preferred
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Industrial, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering
Familiarity with IIoT architectures, Data-Centric Architecture, and the application of Generative AI/RAG in a manufacturing context
