Job summary

Wonder Group, INC is seeking a Manager, Engineering Tools & Infrastructure to be the backbone of our hardware engineering team in Boston. You will own the core engineering software suite to enable mechanical design, documentation and release of automation products.

You will streamline CAD, PDM and PLM workflows, troubleshoot issues, enforce naming and BOM standards, and manage permissions. The role requires 3+ years with Solidworks, PDM, PLM, and Jira; on-site work three days per week.

Qualifications

• 3+ years administering CAD (Solidworks strongly preferred), PDM, and PLM software for an engineering team.
• Proven experience configuring PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Arena, Propel).
• Proven experience with JIRA, creating custom automations and workflows.
• Familiarity with all lifecycle phases of hardware product development, from Prototyping to Production.
• Deep familiarity with the mechanical design process and its terminology: you understand how engineers actually work, not just how software is configured.
• A support-first mindset with the ability to calmly troubleshoot technical issues under tight project deadlines.
• Strong ability to create How-To guides and training materials for engineers on how to use our systems correctly.
• Ability to translate the ideal workflow described by an engineer into a real world process within the relevant software product.
• Bonus - familiarity with Quality Management System (QMS) implementation.

Responsibilities

• Architect and administer our core engineering software suite, including Solidworks, PDM, PLM (Arena), and Jira, supporting both our hardware R&D and Manufacturing Teams.
• Create and maintain custom workflows, automations, and templates in that core suite.
• Take feedback and requests from the team as well as implementing your own best practices.
• Serve as the first line of defense for troubleshooting error messages, vault access issues, and software bugs for the mechanical engineering team.
• Enforce and improve Wonder Robotics' documentation standards for file naming, revision control, and BOM (Bill of Materials) management within the PLM system.
• Perform regular maintenance of the software systems as new versions and features are released.
• Test the new features to make sure they work with our team's workflows and automations.
• Manage permissions and onboarding/offboarding for all hardware engineering users across all software platforms.
• Partner with Wonder's IT Procurement team to co-own the vendor relationships to purchase software licenses and renewals to ensure the team always has the tools they need without service interruptions.
