Siemens NX/Teamcenter PLM Systems Engineer

Step into a day where you are the go-to expert for a high-performing aerospace team in Troy, MI. Your morning begins by triaging CAD/PLM support tickets, guiding engineers through assemblies and workflows, and resolving tricky part load/save issues. By midday you’re tuning Check-Mate rules to uphold quality and standards, collaborating with SMEs to refine modeling practices, and pushing forward the organization’s shift to PMI and MBD. In the afternoon, you might validate a new NX build, commit VB.NET updates to NX Open customizations, optimize license utilization, and verify a Teamcenter–NX workflow integration before wrapping with a quick review of third‑party tool connections like ANSYS, Altium, 3DCS, and DFMPro.

What you’ll own

• Frontline end‑user support across Siemens NX: ticket resolution, modeling help, assemblies, and workflow coaching.
• NX troubleshooting, including part/assembly loading and saving challenges.
• Champion the transition to PMI and Model‑Based Definition (MBD) practices.
• Configure, operate, and maintain NX Check‑Mate for compliance, quality assurance, and design standards enforcement.
• Partner with subject matter experts to create, maintain, and enforce NX standards and best practices.
• Build and sustain NX Open customizations in .NET (VB.NET preferred).
• Investigate, test, validate, and release NX software upgrades.
• Advance Teamcenter–NX integration, including workflow customization and validation.
• Manage and troubleshoot integrations with ANSYS, Altium, 3DCS, and DFMPro.
• Maintain and improve Siemens Teamcenter integrations such as Plant Simulation/Tecnomatix and Simcenter.
• Administer and optimize NX license usage for efficiency and availability.
• Lead evaluations of new NX capabilities and industry trends; identify efficiency gains, shape future standards with SMEs, develop a continuous improvement roadmap, and align to modern CAD/CAE best practices.
• Assist in maintaining, supporting, and customizing Teamcenter.
