Principal Engineer, Enterprise Architect

ASM•Phoenix, AZ

About The Position

ASM is seeking a highly experienced Enterprise Architect, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), to lead the strategy, governance, and transformation of its global engineering and product development ecosystem. As a senior individual contributor and architecture authority for ASM’s PLM landscape, this role enables integration across Product Development, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Service. The architect defines the future-state PLM architecture, guides enterprise-wide transformation programs, and aligns technology investments with business objectives, engineering processes, and enterprise architecture standards. The role requires deep expertise in Siemens Digital Industries Software solutions—including Teamcenter, Teamcenter Simulation, and Teamcenter Project Portfolio Management (PPM)—and familiarity with engineering authoring tools such as Creo and NX. The architect partners with business and technical leaders, advises executives, governs solution designs, and manages architecture risks and roadmaps across the PLM landscape.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline.
10–15 years of direct PLM and engineering systems experience, including architecture responsibility for global environments.
At least 5 years in Solution Architecture, Enterprise Architecture, or Lead PLM Architecture roles.
Demonstrated experience leading enterprise-scale PLM transformation initiatives.
Strong stakeholder management and executive communication capabilities.
Experience working within complex global manufacturing or semiconductor organizations.
Deep practical experience with Siemens Digital Industries Software and Teamcenter, including Teamcenter PDM, Teamcenter Simulation, Teamcenter PPM, Teamcenter Change and Configuration Management, and Active Workspace.
Experience with engineering applications, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, CAD integrations, and engineering collaboration platforms.
Experience with enterprise integration, SAP S/4HANA, middleware and integration technologies, Digital Thread architecture, Master Data Management, product structures, BOM management, and engineering change processes.
Ability to connect engineering, business, and technology strategy into actionable architecture roadmaps.
Strong executive presence and ability to influence senior stakeholders globally.
Systems-thinking mindset and expertise across the product lifecycle.
Demonstrated success leading complex transformations without direct line-management authority.
