Principal Solutions Architect – Digital Engineering & PLM (St. Louis, MO)

Warrant Technologies is expanding our Digital Engineering practice and seeking a Principal Solutions Architect to lead high-impact Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and digital transformation efforts across federal, aerospace, and defense programs. This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering, architecture, and mission‑critical problem solving.

If you want to help national security customers deliver complex systems faster, integrate digital engineering across the lifecycle, and modernize how the U.S. designs and sustains critical capabilities—this is your opportunity.

As a Principal Solutions Architect, you will guide customers through the design and implementation of enterprise‑scale PLM solutions, ensuring technical integrity, mission alignment, and measurable value delivery. You will serve as a trusted advisor, shaping architectures that connect design, simulation, manufacturing, sustainment, and data across the Comprehensive Digital Twin.

You will lead teams of consultants, architects, engineers, and project managers to ensure successful delivery across complex programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the architectural design of PLM and digital engineering solutions that align with customer mission needs, business drivers, and technical requirements.
• Demonstrate how Warrant’s digital engineering and PLM services integrate with customer initiatives to deliver measurable value.
• Apply industry best practices, templates, and Siemens‑based solution frameworks to accelerate customer outcomes.
• Analyze customer goals, processes, and data flows to identify required change initiatives that improve efficiency, productivity, and engineering quality.
• Communicate project progress, risks, and solution decisions directly with customer leadership, engineering teams, and program managers.
• Collaborate with Warrant consultants, product architects, project managers, and technical SMEs to ensure successful implementation and adoption.
• Serve as a senior technical voice in customer engagements, guiding configuration, customization, and integration of Teamcenter PLM.
• Ensure solution integrity across the lifecycle—from requirements through deployment—while maintaining alignment with mission and program objectives.
• Support business development efforts by providing technical insight, architectural guidance, and solution strategy.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering Technology, or equivalent experience (10+ years in PLM).
• 5–8+ years of experience in engineering or manufacturing processes for product design and development.
• 5+ years implementing Teamcenter solutions in complex environments.
• Strong understanding of PLM software, data structures, and enterprise integration.
• Experience working directly with customers in technical consulting or solution delivery roles.
• Proficiency with Teamcenter configuration (BMIDE), Visualization, and BOM/CAD Management.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and architectural decision‑making skills.
• Understanding of software development principles, lifecycle processes, and system integration patterns.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts to engineers, managers, and government executives.
• Ability to work independently and lead cross‑functional teams.
• Proficiency with MS Office tools (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
• Ability to leverage additional resources and expertise when needed.
• Willingness to travel up to 50%.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with PLM data constructs and enterprise data modeling.
• Knowledge of Teamcenter Manufacturing (MFG), Service Lifecycle Management (SLM), or MRO modules.
• CompTIA Security+ certification.
• Experience supporting aerospace, defense, or federal engineering programs.
