About the ALM Division
The Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) division of Vantage MedTech focuses on modernizing how regulated and non-regulated organizations design, develop, validate, and maintain complex products. We help companies select, implement, and scale ALM, PLM, and QMS platforms to manage product design activities across requirements, risk, verification, validation, and traceability.
Our team delivers end-to-end lifecycle solutions, including:
  • Platform selection and architecture design
  • Secure cloud hosting (AWS and hybrid environments)
  • System implementation, configuration, and validation
  • User training, adoption, and change management
  • Ongoing managed services and operational support
This is a hands-on, customer-facing implementation role. As an ALM Implementation Consultant, you will configure Siemens Polarion, Jama Connect, and related ALM/PLM platforms for medical device, automotive and other regulated product companies, and guide customers from implementation through successful adoption by their engineering teams. Vantage ALM helps product development organizations select, implement, and scale ALM, PLM, and QMS platforms for requirements, risk, verification and validation, and traceability. We are a small, fast-growing team inside Vantage MedTech, a design and manufacturing partner to medical device companies. You'll thrive here if you enjoy working directly with engineering and quality teams to shape how a tool fits their process.
**This is a hybrid opportunity. This position is based in Lyndhurst, NJ. We do not offer relocation assistance.
Responsibilities:
  • Discover and define. Lead workshops with customer engineering, quality, and regulatory teams. Map their design-control process and turn it into a solution design and clear configuration requirements.
  • Configure the platform. Build projects, work item types, workflows, fields, link roles, templates, dashboards, and reports in Polarion and Jama, largely through no-code/low-code administration.
  • Bridge to developers. When a need goes beyond configuration (scripts, integrations, migrations), write the spec, hand it to our developers, and test what comes back.
  • Validate. Draft requirements and test cases, execute them, and complete validation reports for the configured system.
  • Enable customers. Train admins and end users, write guides, and support go-live and early adoption.
  • Own the relationship. Be the day-to-day contact on your projects; deliver on scope and schedule and bring follow-on needs to the team.
Qualifications and Experience:
The ideal candidate will have:
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or another technical discipline.
  • 1-3 years implementing, configuring, or administering an enterprise application for customers or business users.
  • Experience in regulated product development: medical devices, pharma, aerospace, automotive, or defense.
  • Preferred: Polarion or Jama administrator certification or project experience; prior work as a systems, software, or quality engineer at a medical device company.
Required Skills:
  • Hands-on configuration of an enterprise ALM, PLM, or QMS platform (Polarion, Jama, Codebeamer, Windchill, Teamcenter, MasterControl, Veeva, or Jira/Azure DevOps at enterprise scale).
  • Practical understanding of requirements traceability, risk management, and verification and validation.
  • Workshop facilitation and requirements elicitation with engineering and quality stakeholders.
  • Clear technical writing: configuration specs, test cases, validation reports, and user guides.
  • Training and presenting to both admins and end users.
  • Preferred: working knowledge of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 62304, or 21 CFR Part 11; light scripting (JavaScript, Python, Velocity) or REST APIs.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to evaluate complex business processes, troubleshoot technical and process-related challenges, and develop effective ALM solutions.

  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health, vision, and dental insurance.
  • Generous Paid Time Off
  • Company retirement plan with matching.
