PLM Solutions Architect

Wilmington, MA

Enterprise Portfolio Management Office – Process & Capabilities Team

About the Role

ADI is building a foundational capability to transform how we define and manage our enterprise product development lifecycle. As a PLM Solutions Architect, you will play a critical role in shaping the next-generation Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ecosystem that underpins ADI’s unified development process.

This role balances strategic architecture with practical solution design, requiring someone who understands best in class PLM capabilities but can also align them to ADI’s current organizational maturity. You will work across engineering, IT, and external vendors to define requirements, architect hybrid solutions (internal + 3rdparty), and guide PLM system implementation and adoption.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role ideal for a candidate who can bridge business needs, engineering workflows, and enterprise technology platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect scalable PLM solutions that support ADI’s unified product development process, balancing out-of-the-box vendor capabilities with custom or hybrid in-house extensions where needed.
• Define pragmatic implementation approaches that account for ADI’s current organizational state, data readiness, and development practices.
• Collaborate with engineering, program management, IT, manufacturing, and tool vendor teams to define future-state workflows, data models, and integration requirements.
• Serve as a key liaison between engineering and IT to ensure alignment on system architecture, integrations (e.g., Project Management systems, EDA/CAD tools, ERP), and data governance needs.
• Lead the requirements-gathering process, translating engineering pain points into functional and technical specifications that guide PLM architecture decisions.
• Support the evaluation and selection of PLM vendor solutions (e.g., Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill), including capability assessments and technical fit analysis.
• Drive solution design for critical capabilities such as Engineering BOM creation/management, configuration control, design release, and change management workflows.
• Contribute to PLM rollout planning (pilots → scaling → enterprise deployment) and partner with engineering teams to drive adoption.
• Support organizational change management through training, documentation, and enablement of new workflows and capabilities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Systems Engineering, or related technical field.
• 10+ years of experience in design engineering, systems engineering, or equivalent roles in the semiconductor or high-tech industry.
• Hands-on experience participating in or leading PLM implementations; familiarity with platforms like Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault ENOVIA, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor product development processes, including cross-functional dependencies across hardware, software, validation, and manufacturing.
• Proven ability to gather detailed requirements from diverse engineering and business stakeholders.
• Experience driving complex enterprise-level projects involving workflow definition, system integrations, and cross-functional alignment.
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong understanding of product data models, including multi-domain BOMs, change control processes (ECN/ECR), configuration management, and release workflows.
• Experience in tool selection, RFP creation, vendor evaluations, or technology roadmap development.
• Experience integrating EDA/CAD tools with PLM systems (e.g., Cadence, Mentor/Siemens, Keysight, Altium).
• Familiarity with Agile or hybrid project methodologies used in system/tool implementations.
• Exposure to quality or regulatory frameworks (ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ISO 15288, etc.).
