Windchill Engineer / Digital Engineering

Responsibilities

• Work in a team to accomplish enterprise-level Digital Engineering Transformation initiatives, shifting from 2D drawing-centric processes to a 3D model-centric, Windchill-managed Authoritative Source of Truth.
• Help to architect, and then work in a collaborative team to implement integrated MCAD/PLM solutions using PTC Creo Parametric as the core tool, with interoperability across multiple CAD platforms and full integration of MCAD, ECAD, and Windchill PLM (including cable/harness design, top-down design, interference checking, and configure-to-order processes).
• Establish and maintain Windchill PLM as the single Authoritative Source of Truth for all engineering artifacts, including 3D models, BOMs, technical data packages, and product structures. Drive BOM transformation (E-BOM → M-BOM, S-BOM, etc.) with full traceability.
• Design and execute robust configuration and change management workflows in Windchill (ECPs, ECNs, Initial Release, Document Release, Deviations) with real-time traceability and impact analysis.
• Leverage the digital engineering product definition to optimize downstream processes and synchronize with ERP, MES, EAM, and IIoT systems. Support production of Technical Data Packages (TDPs) per MIL-DTL-31000.
• Lead pilot projects and advanced capabilities, including Augmented Reality (AR/Vuforia) work instructions, Creo View deployment, Windchill modules (PDMLink, MPMLink, Arbortext), and Modeling & Simulation (M&S) integration.
• Develop libraries, templates, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and training programs for government and contractor personnel on Windchill, Creo, and digital engineering best practices.
• Participate in senior stakeholder briefs (PEO IWS, Maritime Industrial Base, PEO MLB) on Digital Twin and Digital Thread concepts and drive continuous improvement of the digital engineering ecosystem.
• Ensure compliance with DoD Instructions and standards including Digital Engineering, ASME/ANSI, GD&T, and DoD/DoN digital engineering strategies.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to cross-functional modeling, design, and drafting teams while enforcing native CAD best practices and minimizing errors.

Requirements

• Primary expertise in Digital Engineering, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Digital Twin, and Digital Thread architectures — this is a core requirement, not a secondary skill.
• Senior-level proficiency in PTC Windchill PLM (PDMLink, MPMLink, configuration management, workflows, BOM management, and Digital Thread implementation).
• Senior-level proficiency in PTC Creo Parametric (feature-based 3D solid modeling, harness/piping design, drawing automation, and multi-CAD interoperability).
• Proven track record of leading Digital Engineering transformation initiatives that established Windchill as the Authoritative Source of Truth and delivered measurable improvements in engineering and downstream processes.
• Demonstrated experience on DoD or Navy programs, including familiarity with ECP/ECN processes, MIL-STD/MIL-DTL requirements, and digital engineering strategies.
• Strong working knowledge of Modeling & Simulation (M&S) concepts and their integration into PLM environments.
• Experience with Creo View, Vuforia AR, and complementary tools (SolidWorks, Solid Edge, NX, Altium).
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.
