PLM Enterprise Architect

Capgemini • Bellevue, WA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Capgemini Engineering is hiring an Enterprise Architect to own the end-to-end target architecture for a large, complex PLM modernization at a major Aerospace & Defense OEM. The architecture is anchored on a Siemens Teamcenter backbone and connects the engineering, manufacturing, and certification ecosystem. The role spans the full lifecycle, from scoping and shaping through delivery and run, and makes integration, data, AI-readiness, and digital-continuity decisions so a multi-system landscape operates as a coherent, agent-ready digital thread. This is a hybrid opportunity in Seattle, Washington.

The architect will define and govern target-state PLM architecture, establish the AI-powered PLM strategy and roadmap, and lead enterprise integration and architecture decision-making. The role also advises engineering, business, and IT stakeholders on operating models, architecture direction, investment priorities, and phased transformation roadmaps. Solutions must meet Aerospace & Defense regulatory and engineering needs, including configuration management, change control, certification traceability, and relevant standards such as AS9100 and ARP4754A.

Requirements

• 18+ years in enterprise or solution architecture, with major PLM landscapes in scope.
• Proven design of integrated architectures spanning PLM, CAD, ERP, and MES/MOM.
• Strong command of Siemens Teamcenter's enterprise architect role.
• Experience designing AI-ready, API-open platforms and understanding of agentic/MCP integration patterns for augmented engineering.
• Experience architecting for onshore–offshore delivery models that mirror a client organization.
• Experience in Aerospace & Defense or another regulated, complex-product industry.

Responsibilities

• Define and govern target-state PLM architecture centered on Siemens Teamcenter, including CAD management, process planning, and integrations with ERP, MES/MOM, ALM, and certification systems.
• Design and maintain an end-to-end digital thread that provides traceability and data continuity across requirements, engineering, manufacturing, change management, and certification processes.
• Architect and enable an AI-powered, agentic-ready PLM ecosystem using open APIs, structured data accessibility, MCP/agentic integration layers, and support for augmented engineering use cases.
• Establish the AI-Powered PLM strategy and roadmap, identify high-value AI and agentic opportunities, and enable an AI-accelerated software development and delivery lifecycle.
• Define the enterprise integration strategy to ensure interoperability between Teamcenter and adjacent engineering, manufacturing, and business systems while maintaining scalability, security, and performance.
• Lead architecture decisions, including build-versus-configure evaluations, platform sizing, non-functional requirements, upgradeability, and total cost of ownership optimization.
• Advise engineering, business, and IT stakeholders on future-state operating models, architecture direction, investment priorities, and phased transformation roadmaps aligned with business objectives and budgets.
• Establish and enforce architecture governance, standards, and best practices, keeping solutions and technical architecture aligned with target-state principles and delivery objectives.
• Ensure solutions comply with Aerospace & Defense regulatory and engineering requirements, including configuration management, change control, certification traceability, and standards such as AS9100 and ARP4754A.

Benefits

• Paid time off based on employee grade, including vacation of 12–25 days depending on grade.
• Company-paid holidays.
• Personal days.
• Sick leave.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage (or provincial healthcare coordination in Canada).
• Retirement savings plans, such as a 401(k) in the U.S. or RRSP in Canada.
• Life and disability insurance.
• Employee assistance programs.
• Other benefits as provided by local policy and eligibility.
