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, Med Tech, 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.

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.

1. 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).

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/i PaaS 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 Dev Sec Ops/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/i PaaS, 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 Dev Sec Ops for Engineering IT.
• Prior experience in regulated industries (Aero/Defense, Med Tech, 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 agents on shop floors.
• Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP), Kubernetes, Security (CISSP/IEC 62443) a plus.
• Lean/Six Sigma/TPM nice to have for credibility with operations.

Additional Info:

• A minimum of 20 years of progressive information technology experience is required.
• Bachelors/master's in engineering / CS / Data Science (PhD preferred for R&D-heavy roles).
• This position is based at Bengaluru location.
