Solution Director- Product Lifecycle Management & Digital Thread
Job Description
Scope & Responsibilities
\n
Our client, a leading global technology and engineering services organization, is seeking a senior technical leader to drive solution development across Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Digital Thread, and lifecycle data governance engagements within the semiconductor and advanced electronics industry.
\n
This is a senior individual contributor role serving as a technical and solutioning authority in client-facing environments. The leader will bring deep expertise in how semiconductor and high-tech organizations manage engineering data, design artifacts, product configurations, and lifecycle information across complex product ecosystems. This role does not carry a sales quota.
\n
Key Responsibilities
\n
- \n
- Define solution approaches for PLM implementation, migration, modernization, and integration programs, including platform selection, data modeling, BOM management, change control, and configuration management.
- Architect Digital Thread solutions connecting engineering and design data (EDA, CAD, simulation), manufacturing data (MES, process specifications, quality records), and supply chain information into traceable end-to-end data flows.
- Shape engagement and delivery models for PLM modernization, including legacy system retirement, platform consolidation, and cloud migration of product data environments.
- Partner directly with engineering data leaders, CAD/EDA administrators, enterprise and IT architects, and product engineering executives to understand requirements and develop scalable solutions.
- Develop reusable solution patterns, reference architectures, and delivery playbooks for PLM and Digital Thread engagements.
- Contribute thought leadership around Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Digital Twin integration, and AI-assisted engineering change and impact analysis.
