Descripción del empleo

Position Location: This role is remote, ideally based near Denver, Atlanta, Dallas, Detroit, Raleigh, or Chicago.

The PLM Digital Thread Lead is responsible for defining and driving Siemens’ end-to-end digital thread strategy for AI Factory and next-generation data center programs. This role connects engineering, simulation, manufacturing, and operational data across the full lifecycle from design through commissioning, operations, and service and translates that connection into measurable value for Siemens and its data center clients.

Acting as the primary orchestration point across engineering disciplines, business stakeholders, and client organizations, this role uses Teamcenter and the broader PLM portfolio as the technical backbone but succeeds by aligning multiple internal and external stakeholders around a shared, scalable, traceable, and customer-ready digital twin strategy that supports both Siemens internal teams and client deployments.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Owning the digital thread strategy for AI Factory and data center programs across design, build, commission, operate, and service phases aligning engineering, commercial, and client stakeholders around a shared roadmap and business case.
• Translating digital thread and digital twin concepts into client-ready value framing technical capability in terms of risk, cost, compliance, and lifecycle outcomes that data center customers and executives can act on and into practical customer-facing workflows and scalable delivery models.
• Orchestrating across multiple business units, engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, controls, simulation, BIM, automation), and Siemens’ digital portfolio to connect data into one cohesive end-to-end digital twin.
• Establishing Teamcenter and PLM as the system of record for configuration, requirements, product structure, asset data, lifecycle status, change management, and traceability.
• Aligning PLM workflows with AI Factory engineering disciplines including power, cooling, controls, automation, compute infrastructure, commissioning, and operations.
• Defining reference processes for requirements management, system architecture, engineering collaboration, configuration control, release management, and change impact analysis that scale across programs and clients.
• Enabling reuse of reference designs, component libraries, engineering templates, simulation models, and validated configurations across Siemens teams and customer programs to accelerate delivery and reduce client cost.
• Partnering with product and engineering teams to identify and prioritize capability gaps (PLM, simulation, visualization, automation, data management) required for AI Factory delivery.
• Supporting integration across Siemens digital portfolio tools including Teamcenter, NX, Simcenter, Opcenter, Desigo, Digital Twin Composer, Digital Reality Viewer, and partner systems.
• Defining data governance, access control, versioning, and handover requirements that protect both Siemens’ and clients’ lifecycle data integrity.
• Serving as a trusted advisor to data center clients understanding their operational priorities and commercial drivers well enough to shape how digital thread capability is positioned, sequenced, and delivered.

Core Competencies

• Lead Solution Architecture: Acts as lead architect for developing and integrating an end-to-end digital thread solution combining existing and newly developed capabilities across multiple Siemens businesses around a clear, defined client value.
• Digital Thread & PLM Architecture: Defines and integrates end-to-end digital thread strategies across engineering, manufacturing, and operations.
• Systems Integration Thinking: Connects multi-disciplinary data into unified digital twin frameworks.
• Business Acumen: Aligns digital thread capabilities with scalable business outcomes.
• Data Governance & Lifecycle Management: Establishes standards for traceability, versioning, and lifecycle data integrity.
• Collaboration & Influence: Works across global, multi-disciplinary teams to align stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, Construction/Industrial Management, or related field or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years in PLM/digital thread, technical program leadership, or technical account/delivery management, with demonstrated ownership of enterprise-scale, multi-stakeholder initiatives.
• Working familiarity with PLM platforms and concepts (Teamcenter or equivalent) sufficient to direct and evaluate technical work.
• Understanding of engineering workflows and product lifecycle processes.
• Ability to work across global teams, travel as required, and align stakeholders without relying on formal authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Engineering, Business, or related discipline.
• Experience with Siemens digital portfolio tools (Teamcenter, NX, Simcenter, Opcenter) or equivalent competitor platforms, and familiarity with data governance frameworks or MBSE principles.
• Experience implementing digital thread or digital twin strategies.
• Track record of building or defending a business case for a digital thread or digital twin investment with clients or internal leadership.
• Prior client-facing or account leadership experience in the data center, energy, or another mission-critical infrastructure sector.
• Direct experience in data centers, mission-critical infrastructure, or another complex capital-intensive industry, with working knowledge of client expectations and how value is delivered in that industry.
