Project Role : Enterprise Technology Architect Project Role Description : Architect complex end-to-end IT solutions across the enterprise. Apply the latest technology and industry expertise to create better products and experiences. Must have skills : Manufacturing Design & Engineering Solutions Good to have skills : NA Minimum 15 year(s) of experience is required Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education Summary: We are seeking a Senior Technology Architect to lead large-scale Digital Engineering Transformation programs that connect Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Operations through a Digital Thread spanning PLM - ALM - ERP - MES/MOM - OT/IIoT and downstream service. The ideal leader combines deep hands-on expertise in PLM platforms (Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Aras, open-source PLM) with modern integration, data, and platform engineering skills. You will define end-to-end reference architectures, govern implementation at scale, and anchor domain-led transformation (Aero, Auto, Industrial, CPG, MedTech, Energy, etc.) with measurable business outcomes. Roles & Responsibilities: 1.Architecture & Strategy: - Define the Digital Thread strategy and reference architecture across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and service - covering data models (eBOM/mBOM/sBOM), process orchestration, configuration/change management (ECM/ECR), variant management, and traceability. - Architect enterprise-scale PLM landscapes (3DEXPERIENCE, Teamcenter, Windchill, Aras, OpenPLM) and their integrations with ERP (SAP/Oracle), MES/MOM, ALM, QMS, IIoT platforms, data platforms (lake/mesh), and analytics/AI stacks. - Establish governance models, maturity roadmaps, and transformation playbooks for brownfield and greenfield programs, including M&A harmonization, master data convergence, and standardization of engineering processes. 2. Integration & Platforms: - Lead design of microservices/event-driven integration patterns, API-first architectures, Kafka/AMQP, and OSIsoft/OPC UA/MQTT-based OT data pipelines mapped to ISA-95/ISA-88. - Drive harmonized data semantics, ontologies, knowledge graphs, engineering taxonomies, and metadata strategies underpinning the Digital Thread. - Oversee model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and model-based definition (MBD) adoption (SysML/Cameo/Capella), ensuring alignment of requirements- models - test - verification/validation. 3. Delivery Leadership: - Act as chief architect across multi-year programs, owning NFRs (scalability, performance, cyber-security, compliance) and ensuring architectural conformance during delivery. - Run architecture boards / design authorities, conduct solution assurance reviews, and mentor solution/enterprise architects and engineering leads. - Define KPIs & value metrics (e.g., engineering change cycle time reduction, BOM/BOP synchronization accuracy, first-time-right rate, reuse %, time-to-industrialize, SoP readiness). 4. Thought Leadership & Growth: - Shape go-to-market narratives, author POVs/whitepapers, patents, and represent the practice in conferences/universities/industry forums. - Lead pre-sales, solution shaping, and executive storytelling to win complex transformation deals; build CxO-level trust. - Build ecosystems with ISVs (Dassault, Siemens, PTC, Aras), hyperscalers (AWS/Azure/GCP), IIoT and data platform partners, middleware/iPaaS vendors, and cybersecurity players. 5.Emerging Tech & AI: - Define how AI/GenAI, simulation, and digital twins augment engineering processes (requirements engineering, auto-classification, BOM reconciliation, change-impact prediction, compliance automation). - Promote DevSecOps/MLOps for Engineering IT, test automation, and as-code governance for PLM/MES/ERP integrations Professional & Technical Skills: Must have Skills: - Deep, hands-on PLM expertise in at least two major stacks: Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE, Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Aras (implementation, customization, upgrade/migration, data model design, integrations). - Proven experience designing and implementing Digital Thread architectures across PLM/ALM/ERP/MES/MOM/SCM/QMS/IIoT, with end-to-end traceability and configuration management. - Strong command over BOM/BOP variant & configuration management, ECR/ECN/CMII processes, CAD/PDM, MBSE/MBD, and requirements - test traceability. - Expertise in enterprise integration patterns (ESB/iPaaS, microservices, event-driven), API management, data mesh/lakehouse, Kafka, REST/GraphQL, and Master Data Management (MDM). - Working knowledge of manufacturing operations and industrial standards: ISA-95/88, OPC UA, MQTT, SCADA/DCS, MOM/MES. - Solid understanding of cybersecurity, IP protection, data residency/compliance (IT/OT). - Demonstrated leadership running global, multi-vendor, multi-year programs with significant budgets - Executive communication skills, able to translate architecture into business value and change narratives Good to have skills: - Experience with MBSE toolchains (Cameo, Capella, Rhapsody, Polarion) and ALM tools (Polarion, Codebeamer, Jira/Atlassian). - Exposure to Digital Twins (process/asset/system), simulation pipelines, and NVIDIA/Siemens/Dassault twin ecosystems. - Familiarity with knowledge graphs/ontologies, semantic layer tooling, and SPARQL/OWL. - Experience with GenAI/LLMs for engineering (design knowledge retrieval, automated classification, document-to-model conversion, change impact analysis). - Understanding of containerization, Kubernetes, cloud-native architectures, and DevSecOps for Engineering IT. - Prior experience in regulated industries (Aero/Defense, MedTech, Pharma) for compliance (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 26262, AS9100, FDA 21 CFR Part 11). - C-suite advisor & storyteller with outcome-first mindset. - Architectural authority balancing speed, safety, and scale. - People builder across DS/ML, DE, MLOps/LLMOps, and OT - Replace leadership with someone experienced in implementing AI and agen
