Job description

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior CAD/PLM Functional Consultant with deep expertise in the white goods/consumer appliances industry. In this role, you will bridge the gap between engineering design, configuration systems, quality frameworks, and PLM architecture. You will drive rules-based CAD automation, establish configurable master models, and integrate CAD environments with Siemens Teamcenter to streamline CPQ, CAPP, FMEA, and PPAP workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• CAD SME & Modular Design: Lead CAD functionality and modular design methodology for consumer appliance assembly modeling.
• CPQ & Variant Management: Build configurable master models, establish rules-based CAD automation, and connect 150% Variant BOMs to 100% specific product configurations within CPQ systems.
• CAPP Alignment: Map engineering design data to CAPP frameworks to automate routing and adapt manufacturing process structures to configured CAD variants.
• FMEA Integration: Configure DFMEA frameworks within CAD metadata to capture Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) dimensional data directly in the 3D environment.
• PPAP Readiness: Standardize CAD configurations, parametric models, and digital annotations (MBD) to support downstream PPAP compliance and regulatory verification.
• PLM Integration: Architect CAD-to-Teamcenter integrations using Teamcenter Product Configurator and Variant Management modules to ensure seamless flow of geometry, pricing, and process metadata.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years in engineering services, with a strong emphasis on consumer appliances or white goods.
• Configuration & Modular Architecture: Proven track record in CPQ processes, modular product design, options/variants definition, and automated design generation.
• Quality & Process Lifecycles: Deep knowledge of FMEA, PPAP, and CAPP frameworks, including mapping parameters into CAD model properties and Teamcenter workflows.
• PLM Software: Strong functional expertise in Siemens Teamcenter PLM (specifically Product Configurator and Variant Management modules).
• CAD & MBD: Advanced proficiency in major CAD software, parametric design automation, and Model-Based Definition (MBD).
