About The Position

At Boom, you will define the CAD architecture, crafting scalable and reliable systems. You’ll automate workflows with automations and integrations to shift focus from click-ops to design. Success here is measured by reduced cycle time and seamless team collaboration—enabling engineers to innovate at speed. Now is the time to make CAD an enabler, not a bottleneck! Drive CAD architecture and standards with a focus on Onshape, while ensuring processes and integrations are multi-CAD ready. Establish and enforce modeling and drawing best practices, including large assemblies, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, templates, naming, and numbering. Build and maintain automation scripts and lightweight internal tools to replace repetitive tasks with reliable, streamlined workflows. Deliver API integrations across CAD, PLM, ERP, and MES, defining canonical metadata models, mappings, validation rules, retries, and alerting. Own PLM release workflows that are tool agnostic; manage lifecycles, change objects, roles and gates, and the health of CAD to PLM synchronization. Ensure data hygiene and access control by maintaining metadata standards, permission models, audit trails, and deprecating legacy paths. Lead CAD system governance, including user group management, support standards, training, and upgrade/change planning with robust testing and communication protocols.
