• Remote PLM Consultant

    Actalent (Austin, TX)


    PLM Teamcenter Engineer - REMOTE

    Position Overview

    As a PLM Teamcenter Engineer focused on digital thread and digital twin enablement, you will lead the integration of product data across mechanical, electrical, and software domains to support real-time traceability, simulation, and lifecycle intelligence. Your work ensures that every configuration—from CAD models to embedded software—is accurately represented, versioned, and linked across systems, enabling predictive insights and mission-critical readiness for autonomous surface vessels.

    Core Responsibilities

    + Establish and maintain digital thread continuity across PLM, CAD, MES, ERP, and software repositories to ensure traceable, interoperable product data.

    + Support the creation and maintenance of digital twins by ensuring configuration baselines are complete, validated, and synchronized across physical and virtual systems.

    + Manage structured BOMs (Engineering, Manufacturing, Service) and link them to simulation models, test data, and field performance metrics.

    + Administer PLM platforms (Arena, Teamcenter) to ensure configuration data supports digital twin fidelity and lifecycle traceability.

    + Collaborate with software, mechanical, and electrical engineering teams to align version control, metadata, and configuration rules across domains.

    + Drive audit-ready data practices that support model-based systems engineering (MBSE), predictive maintenance, and mission assurance.

    + Integrate CAD models, control logic, and sensor data into unified digital representations for simulation, validation, and operational planning.

    + Train cross-functional teams on digital thread workflows, configuration traceability, and twin-enabled decision support.

    + Analyze gaps in digital continuity and recommend improvements to data architecture, tooling, and governance.

    Qualifications

    + 5+ years of experience in configuration management with a focus on digital thread or digital twin implementation.

    + Strong understanding of PLM, CAD, and software version control systems (e.g., Git, SVN).

    + Experience integrating product data across mechanical, electrical, and software domains.

    + Familiarity with MBSE, model validation, and simulation workflows.

    + Proficiency in PLM tools (Arena, Teamcenter) and CAD platforms (Solidworks, NX).

    + Knowledge of government standards (EIA-649, MIL-HDBK-61) and audit compliance.

    + Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

    + Engineering degree preferred; CM2 or digital twin certification is a plus.
