About The Position

The PLM Teamcenter Architect is a senior, customer-facing 3DEXPERIENCE / PLM Solution Architect who leads solution definition, architecture, and delivery support for PLM modernization initiatives. The role focuses on 3DEXPERIENCE migration, legacy PLM modernization, engineering change management, EBOM/MBOM integration, CAD/CAE/ALM/ERP connectivity, and digital-thread enablement across vehicle engineering and manufacturing functions. The architect is expected to bring hands-on leadership across complex PLM implementations in Siemens Teamcenter and Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA environments. They define practical migration, coexistence, integration, and downstream process strategies for a large automotive OEM landscape, while guiding stakeholders through architecture decisions, workshops, and transformation planning. The role is onsite in Dearborn, Michigan, and is contract work.

Requirements

12+ years of experience in PLM consulting, solution architecture, or enterprise engineering systems implementation.
Strong hands-on Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA experience, including at least one large-scale implementation.
Prior Siemens Teamcenter implementation, migration, integration, or coexistence architecture experience.
Automotive or manufacturing PLM program experience, preferably in OEM or Tier-1 environments.
Deep understanding of BOM management, ECM/ECR/ECO workflows, product configuration, CAD data management, engineering release, and change control processes.
Experience with PLM integrations involving CAD, CAE, ERP, ALM, MES, manufacturing planning, and supplier collaboration platforms.
Strong knowledge of migration from legacy PLM platforms to 3DEXPERIENCE, including data mapping, transformation, validation, reconciliation, and cutover governance.
Ability to lead complex PLM architecture decisions involving legacy modernization, phased migration, enterprise integrations, data governance, and business process transformation.
Ability to engage senior customer stakeholders and translate business pain points into architecture options, implementation plans, and delivery roadmaps.

Evaluate EBOM, WERS, GPIRS, prototype material management, BOM, release, and change management systems for modernization, integration, retirement, or coexistence with 3DEXPERIENCE.
Develop solution options for Teamcenter-to-3DEXPERIENCE migration, coexistence, data synchronization, integration patterns, and phased transformation.
Design Engineering Change Management solutions, including change requests and notices, impact analysis, approval workflows, and release governance.
Define integration architecture across 3DEXPERIENCE, CAD, CAE, ALM, ERP, MES, MBOM, manufacturing planning, supplier collaboration, and downstream enterprise platforms.
Support EBOM-to-MBOM alignment, product structure management, variant and configuration management, and digital-thread traceability.
Lead data migration strategy, including legacy data assessment, cleansing, mapping, transformation, validation, reconciliation, and cutover planning.
Lead customer-facing architecture discussions with PLM, Engineering IT, Manufacturing IT, and business stakeholders to shape modernization roadmaps.
Drive solution workshops, process fit-gap analysis, technical design reviews, integration blueprinting, and implementation roadmap planning.
Identify opportunities to apply AI/GenAI to PLM data quality, change impact analysis, engineering knowledge search, and workflow acceleration.
Provide architecture governance covering standards, integration patterns, security, performance, scalability, and deployment readiness.
