NX / Teamcenter Engineer

Karman Industries•Los Angeles, CA

7d•$120,000 - $260,000•Onsite

About The Position

Karman Industries is seeking a highly motivated and hands-on NX / Teamcenter Engineer to build, harden, and scale the digital backbone of our mechanical design organization. This person will own the company's end-to-end CAD/PLM environment, including the component reuse library, mechanical and electrical routing, structure design tooling, materials data, drawing standards, and day-to-day system administration. As Karman transitions from R&D into high-volume manufacturing, this role will design a scalable, well-governed PLM environment while remaining willing to roll up their sleeves — triaging outages, fixing a broken drawing template, or walking a new hire through Teamcenter directly. You will be hands-on across day-to-day operations while helping the Head of Mechanical Engineering build the case for where additional PLM support is needed as Karman scales.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on Siemens NX and Teamcenter administration/configuration experience, ideally in aerospace, defense, or another hardware-intensive engineering environment.
Demonstrated experience building or maintaining CAD reuse libraries, part families, templates, and role-based configurations.
Working knowledge of Teamcenter architecture (BMIDE, workflow, BOM, and access configuration) and NX/Teamcenter integration.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical engineering drawings, GD&T, and CAD/PLM technical documentation.
Strong troubleshooting skills across CAD, PLM, and underlying Windows/Linux server infrastructure.
Clear written and verbal communication; comfortable training and supporting engineers at all levels.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
Experience with NXOpen API, Knowledge Fusion, or similar tools for CAD/PLM automation and customization.
Experience with mechanical/electrical routing modules, Structure Designer, or similar NX advanced modules.
Experience integrating PLM systems with MRP/ERP platforms (e.g., Manufacturo, SAP, NetSuite).
Experience supporting a PLM server migration or new-site IT/engineering systems buildout.
Eligibility to obtain a U.S. security clearance, where applicable to program work.

Responsibilities

Own and administer Karman's Siemens NX / Teamcenter PLM environment — installs, upgrades, license servers, and integrations with downstream systems like our MRP platform.
Build and maintain a component reuse library and standardized part families, templates, and role-based configurations so engineers design faster and more consistently.
Configure and roll out core NX modules — including routing, structure design, and custom feature standards — as the mechanical design team's needs grow.
Establish and enforce CAD and drawing standards, including notes, thread callouts, and materials data.
Troubleshoot and resolve production issues, acting as the go-to escalation point for critical NX/Teamcenter problems.
Plan and execute system upgrades, patches, and infrastructure changes, including supporting the PLM server migration to Karman's new facility.
Train and support engineers on NX/Teamcenter, onboard new users, and provide day-to-day admin support as the team scales.
