• Lead the development and implementation of new features, including defining project scope, requirements, timelines, and budgets.
• Collaborate with developers to identify and address issues, bugs, and enhancement requests from both PLM and any integration to other systems (CAD, etc.).

• Agility – they change directions easily and without regret, quickly adapting to shifting business priorities.

• Strong communication skills to effectively interact with engineers and technical teams.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Willingness to learn – willing to pick up learning new tools and systems (Teamcenter).

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to root cause end user and infrastructure related issues.
