Engineering Systems Architect
About The Position
We are seeking an Engineering Systems Architect to own the engineering platforms used to design, build, and operate our chemical processing facilities. This role is responsible for the architecture, deployment, and operation of CAD, PDM/PLM, and engineering data systems, and will personally stand up and administer these systems in the early stages. You will establish the technical and procedural foundation for configuration control, change management, and engineering data integrity across the full lifecycle of the plant. This is a high-ownership role for an exceptional individual who combines strong architectural judgment with hands-on execution in serious, regulated environments.
Requirements
- 12+ years owning engineering systems or PLM for complex physical systems or facilities.
- Proven experience deploying and operating CAD/PDM/PLM platforms in production.
- Deep experience with at least one major PLM ecosystem (e.g., Teamcenter, 3DEXPERIENCE, Windchill).
- Strong understanding of configuration management, ECO/ECN, and BOM structures.
- Experience in regulated or high-consequence industries (e.g., chemical, energy, aerospace, semiconductor, nuclear).
- Ability to operate as both architect and hands-on owner in high-accountability environments.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with plant or factory design systems (piping, isometrics, equipment layout, instrumentation).
- Experience integrating engineering systems with ERP or quality/compliance platforms.
- Background including both top-tier companies and high-performance startups or scale-ups.
- Experience building engineering systems from zero or near-zero.
- Familiarity with as-built data, handover packages, and lifecycle asset management.
- Strong technical communication and standards-setting skills.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture, deployment, and operation of CAD, PDM/PLM, and engineering data systems.
- Personally install, configure, and administer these platforms initially.
- Lead evaluation and selection of engineering platforms (e.g., Siemens NX/Teamcenter, SolidWorks, Autodesk, plant design systems).
- Define and enforce authoritative data models for parts, equipment, drawings, and configuration baselines.
- Design and implement integrations with enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, QMS/EHS, asset management).
- Establish and run change control, release, configuration management, and data governance processes.
Benefits
- In addition to base salary, for full-time hires, you may also be eligible for long-term incentives, in the form of stock options, and access to medical, vision & dental coverage as well as access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
