Additional Experience:

- Requires significant relevant work experience (e.g.- experience as a design technician and/or CAD administrator) or specialized skills obtained through education, training, or on-the-job experience.
- Demonstrated track record of technical problem solving and quality decision making.
- Experience using CAD models to support practices outside of drawing creation (e.g.- analysis, parametrized automation, tooling creation, product inspection, etc.) is preferred.
- Knowledge of PTC Creo and PTC Windchill PLM/CDM is required.
- Knowledge of MS Office (PowerPoint, Excel, Word, etc.) is preferred.

Additional Qualifications:

This engineering service focused position applies specialized knowledge of applied technology to define, document, and manage a product’s design.   This role includes the development and maintenance of standards and tools that enable engineering practitioners to define product using Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools and manage resultant CAD data more efficiently and effectively.

- Applied technology expertise: Ability to use specialized engineering knowledge to define, document, and manage product designs while enabling efficient CAD‑driven product definition across the organization.
- Standards and tools development: Skill in creating and maintaining CAD and CDM standards, modeling practices, and tools that elevate design quality and support automated optimization.
- PLM/CDM system governance: Proficiency in evaluating, approving, and validating Windchill PLM functionality—including defect fixes, enhancements, and CES‑specific requirements—to ensure robust CAD data management.
- Cross ‑ enterprise collaboration: Active participation in XBU councils and teams to align strategy, training, governance, and continuous improvement across CAD practices and data management.
- Advanced CAD application: Experience applying CAD models beyond drawings—such as for analysis, automation, tooling, and inspection—to support broader engineering workflows.
- Technical problem ‑ solving: Demonstrated ability to diagnose complex issues, make quality decisions, and progress independently while maintaining high standards.
- Creo and Windchill proficiency: Deep working knowledge of PTC Creo and Windchill PLM/CDM systems, including ModelCHECK, Gatekeeper, and CDM data models.
- User support and training: Capability to coach designers and technicians at all experience levels in CAD modeling, standards, and data management practices.
- Continuous improvement mindset: Commitment to evolving product knowledge, improving systems, and identifying opportunities to enhance CAD and CDM processes.
- General digital fluency: Working knowledge of MS Office tools to support documentation, communication, and presentation of engineering standards and solutions.

Compensation:

- Please note that the salary range provided is a good faith estimate on the applicable range. The final salary offer will be determined after considering relevant factors, including a candidate’s qualifications and experience, where appropriate.
