Your work supports everything from engineering changes to shop‑floor reporting and maintenance activities.
• You will play a key role in system integration by overseeing data transfers between Windchill PLM and SAP ERP, resolving errors, and validating engineering and document records. This responsibility strengthens the connection between design, planning, and manufacturing systems.

Experience with PLM systems (e.g., Windchill) and data integration is a plus.
• You have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, Information Systems, Supply Chain, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• You’re an individual with strong communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities, strong understanding of manufacturing processes, BOMs, routing, and production planning, and excellent attention to detail, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

This is an onsite role.
