→30 days: You've mapped the current PDM and ERP environments. You will have started to map out a desired workflow for engineering data through conversations with engineering and procurement teams. You will have a burn down list of issues to fix and features to add.
→60 days: You've made meaningful progress burning down the issues on that list. PDM data cards and simple release workflows will be working as desired. Dispatch scripts will be cleaned up.
→90 days: You've implemented production release and ECR workflows that are tested and function as intended. You will begin to work with the manufacturing team to scope out their MES and other infrastructure, at least as it relates to engineering data from PDM.

Basic Requirements:

→5+ years administering PDM or PLM systems in a hardware engineering or manufacturing environment.
→Deep hands-on SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional administration, including workflow, data card, permission design, and Dispatch.
→Demonstrated ownership of an engineering release and change control process, not only the system that hosts it.
→Working knowledge of ERP/MRP manufacturing data — item masters, BOMs, and routings — and how engineering data must land in it.
→Scripting or light development ability sufficient to build and maintain system integrations, such as Python, C#/.NET, or SQL, with comfort working against REST or XML-RPC APIs.
→Experience working directly with engineers and production staff to translate process requirements into system configuration.

Preferred Qualifications:

→Hands-on experience with Odoo, or with another ERP/MRP implementation, integration, or migration.
→Experience evaluating or deploying MES or electronic quality management (eQMS) platforms.
→Background in rail, aerospace, automotive, or another environment where serialized traceability and configuration control are required.
→Familiarity with SOLIDWORKS Manage, or with migration from PDM to a broader PLM platform.
→Broader IT infrastructure experience, including identity and SSO, Windows Server, virtualization, backup strategy, and software license management.
→Startup or small-team experience, with the ability to build process and documentation from nothing.
