Role overview

This is a hands-on senior individual-contributor role supporting the technical layer around a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform. The engineer will build and operate backend services, integrations, automation, and custom extensions that connect PLM with ERP, analytics, ECAD, and other downstream enterprise systems.

The ideal candidate is a production-minded backend engineer who can own solutions end-to-end-from architecture and coding through CI/CD, Kubernetes deployment, observability, and production support.

Excellent written communication for design notes, runbooks, and engineering documentation

Interest in product-engineering domains, including product definitions, BOMs, engineering changes, and release processes

Preferred experience

PLM, PDM, ERP, CAD, or engineering-systems background

PTC Windchill experience is a strong plus, though PLM experience is not mandatory
