About the Role:
We are seeking a hands-on Teamcenter / NX Manager to lead and scale our PLM capability within a fast-paced, complex hardware engineering environment. As the technical and operational owner of our Siemens Teamcenter and NX ecosystem, you will lead a growing PLM team while partnering closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and IT to prioritize initiatives, optimize engineering workflows, and drive the evolution of our digital product development environment. This is a foundational leadership role where you'll help build the team, establish scalable processes, and mature our PLM operating model as the company grows.
This is a player-coach role - not a traditional people manager. You'll be expected to lead the team, set priorities, make technical decisions, and remain hands-on in Teamcenter/NX by supporting administration, configuration, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement. You'll drive enhancements across change management, CAD and BOM governance, workflow optimization, and user experience while helping establish a scalable digital thread connecting PLM with ERP, MES, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Quality, and other enterprise systems.
Responsibilities:
- Lead and manage the Teamcenter/NX team responsible for engineering application support, NX administration, Teamcenter architecture, configuration, integrations, and production support.
- Own the health, scalability, and effectiveness of the Siemens Teamcenter and NX environment, including administration, configuration, enhancement, performance, issue resolution, and ongoing support.
- Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and IT to understand business needs and translate them into scalable PLM solutions and improved product development workflows.
- Set priorities for the PLM/NX team, balancing urgent production support needs with roadmap execution, modernization initiatives, and long-term platform maturity.
- Lead the standardization and improvement of PLM processes, including engineering release, change management, BOM management, CAD data management, document control, and product data governance.
- Provide technical leadership through solution design, architecture guidance, troubleshooting, root-cause problem solving, automation opportunities, and Teamcenter/NX user experience improvements.
- Build and mature the PLM operating model, including governance, documentation, support processes, integrations with downstream systems, roadmap planning, metrics, and team development.
Requirements:
- 7+ years of hands-on experience administering, configuring, and supporting Siemens Teamcenter/NX, or comparable enterprise PLM platforms in an engineering or complex product development environment, including workflows, access control, data structures, release statuses, production support, and end-user support.
- Prior experience managing, mentoring, or leading technical team members in a PLM, CAD, engineering systems environment.
- Strong understanding of engineering release processes, ECN/ECO workflows, BOM management, CAD data management, document control, configuration management, and product lifecycle processes.
- Experience working directly with engineering organizations in complex hardware, aerospace, defense, automotive, robotics, industrial, or advanced manufacturing environments.
- Ability to partner with technical and non-technical stakeholders, prioritize competing requests, and translate business needs into scalable system and process improvements.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across complex system, workflow, configuration, performance, integration, and user issues.
- Comfortable operating in an early-stage or high-growth environment where processes are still being defined and leaders are expected to contribute both managerially and technically.
- Clear communicator who can work effectively with engineering users, business stakeholders, IT teams, vendors, direct reports, and leadership.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Experience managing a Teamcenter/NX, CAD, PLM, engineering applications, or enterprise systems team.
- Experience implementing, upgrading, migrating, or significantly enhancing Teamcenter environments.
- Experience supporting aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, advanced manufacturing, or other complex hardware development environments.
- Knowledge of PLM integrations with ERP, MES, CAD, manufacturing, quality, supplier collaboration, or data warehouse platforms.
- Experience improving digital thread connectivity across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, finance, and enterprise systems.
- Familiarity with CAD data management, derivative generation, JT/PDF/STEP/DXF outputs, visualization, and downstream manufacturing data consumption.
- Experience building PLM governance, documentation, support models, training materials, operational metrics, and scalable support processes.
- Familiarity with Agile, program management, roadmap planning, or cross-functional execution.
The salary range listed for this role is intended as a general guideline. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including role scope and responsibilities, relevant experience, education and training, key skills, market data, and business needs.

Hermeus Insights
What We Do
Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries. Utilizing an integrated, hardware-rich, iterative development approach to aircraft design and build, Hermeus aims to deliver advanced air power at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s. Hermeus’ current Quarterhorse Program is actively unlocking unmanned high-speed flight. One program, four aircraft – each purpose-built to unlock a specific technical challenge, advance learnings, and incrementally de-risk critical technology in the pursuit of hypersonic aircraft. Today, Hermeus is building its second Quarterhorse vehicle, Mk 2, after having designed, built, and flight tested its predecessor, Mk 1, in 18 months. Capable of reaching speeds of Mach 3+, Quarterhorse Mk 2 will be the fastest uncrewed military aircraft in service for national defense. The final iteration of Quarterhorse, Mk 4, will be capable of transitioning from turbofan to ramjet mode utilizing a Hermeus-developed turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) propulsion system to achieve sustained speeds of Mach 5+. Hermeus' approach of build-fly-build lays the groundwork for unlocking hypersonic flight at a pace and cost previously deemed impossible. America needs fast planes fast – and Hermeus is delivering them.
Why Work With Us
We prioritize hardware and people. Cutting-edge technology is only made possible by bringing together a world-class team. At Hermeus, you will be challenged – but also empowered. We encourage calculated risks taking and learning from our mistakes. Iteration is the name of the game.
