You will work closely with global IT and engineering teams in the U.S. and Costa Rica, ensuring a stable, efficient, and compliant PLM environment. The role involves hands‑on system administration, process optimization, and collaboration with end users to ensure optimal utilization of Teamcenter capabilities across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage Teamcenter users, permissions, access controls, and data lifecycle processes.
• Monitor and troubleshoot system performance, workflows, and integrations with CAD tools (e.g., Siemens NX).
• Manage Teamcenter updates, patches, and version upgrades.
• Track and optimize Teamcenter license usage and resource allocation.
• Develop and maintain process documentation, training materials, and user guides.
• Partner with engineering and IT teams to improve data management, workflows, and change management processes.
• Collaborate with Aculocity’s global IT team (U.S. and Costa Rica) for infrastructure alignment, troubleshooting, and upgrades.
• Ensure adherence to data governance, security, and compliance standards.
• Stay current with PLM trends, Teamcenter developments, and competitor systems (e.g., SolidWorks PDM, Windchill, Enovia) to identify transferable skillsets and improvement opportunities.

Qualifications

Required:

• Diploma or Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• Proven Teamcenter Administration experience in an enterprise environment.
• Solid understanding of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) principles and system architecture.
• Strong technical troubleshooting, system maintenance, and upgrade experience.
• Experience managing multi‑site or distributed environments.
• Excellent communication skills in English and the ability to work collaboratively across international teams.
• Solid understanding of IT infrastructure concepts (servers, networking, security, databases).

Preferred:

• Degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent qualification, with practical Teamcenter administration experience.
• Hands‑on experience with Siemens NX integration and/or certification in Teamcenter.
• Familiarity with Teamcenter competitor solutions (e.g., SolidWorks PDM, Windchill, Enovia).
• Experience with Teamcenter Change Management and Workflow configuration.
• Prior exposure to engineering teams within a product development environment.

Additional Requirements

• Ability to collaborate continuously with the U.S. and Costa Rica central teams (flexible scheduling may be required).
• Ability to operate effectively in a multi‑location, multi‑country PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) deployment, including managing distributed users, infrastructure, and compliance requirements.
• Onsite end‑user support role.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 20kg of computer equipment.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Career growth opportunities within a global organization.
• Exposure to cutting‑edge technologies and a chance to work in a fast‑paced, innovative environment.
