PLM Enterprise Architect
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 scoping and shaping through delivery and run, making integration, data, AI-readiness, and digital-continuity decisions so a multi-system landscape operates as a coherent digital thread. The position defines and governs the target-state PLM architecture, enterprise integration strategy, and AI-powered PLM strategy and roadmap. It leads architecture decisions and governance, advises engineering, business, and IT stakeholders on operating models and transformation priorities, and ensures solutions meet applicable Aerospace & Defense regulatory and engineering requirements. The role is a hybrid opportunity in Seattle, Washington.
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.

Responsibilities
- Define and govern the target-state PLM architecture centered on Siemens Teamcenter, covering CAD management, process planning, and integrations with ERP, MES/MOM, ALM, and certification systems.
- Design and maintain an end-to-end digital thread that ensures 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 for interoperability between Teamcenter and adjacent engineering, manufacturing, and business systems, while maintaining scalability, security, and performance.
- Lead architecture decision-making, including build-versus-configure evaluations, platform sizing, non-functional requirements, upgradeability considerations, 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, ensuring solutions and technical architecture align 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 relevant standards such as AS9100 and ARP4754A.
