Implementation Consultant

CADTALK is the connective tissue between engineering and operations at discrete manufacturing companies. We integrate CAD, PDM, and PLM systems with ERP platforms, automating the flow of BOMs, item masters, and engineering changes across systems like Solid Works, Inventor, Solid Works PDM, Arena PLM, IFS, Infor Syteline, Acumatica, and Microsoft Business Central.

Our customers build complex products: job shops, make-to-order, engineer-to-order. The problem we solve is that these companies run multiple systems that were never designed to work together, and the engineering data that drives their business has to move between them accurately and intelligently. We make that happen.

We are a small, growing team doing meaningful work for real companies. No corporate layers. No busywork. If you have worked in manufacturing and seen the disconnect between what engineering designs and what operations builds, you already understand why we exist.

We are looking for an Implementation Consultant to join our Professional Services team. You will work directly with manufacturing engineers and IT teams to configure, deploy, and support CADTALK integrations at customer sites.

This is a consulting role. You will own the technical solution for your projects: understanding how the customer designs, how they manage BOMs and engineering changes, how their ERP is structured, and then configuring CADTALK to connect those systems. You will be the person the customer trusts to get it right.

You will be paired with a dedicated Project Manager who owns timelines, scope, and commercial conversations. Your job is the technical solution. The customer trust and credibility come naturally from doing that well.

• Own technical delivery for implementation projects from kickoff through go-live
• Configure CADTALK integrations between CAD/PDM/PLM systems and ERP platforms
• Consult with customer engineering and IT teams on integration best practices
• Perform data mapping, validation, and troubleshooting during deployment
• Participate in project calls to present technical solutions and answer customer questions
• Manage 15-30+ concurrent projects at varying stages
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering when customer needs uncover edge cases or feature gaps
• Maintain accurate project documentation and time tracking
• Contribute to internal knowledge, templates, and process improvements as you learn what works

The strongest candidates will have done some version of this work before. Maybe you implemented CAD or ERP systems at a reseller or VAR. Maybe you were a solutions engineer at a PLM vendor. Maybe you were an ERP consultant who worked closely with engineering departments. The common thread is that you have worked with manufacturing customers, you understand their systems, and you have delivered projects.

We also hire engineers who come from manufacturing and want to move into consulting. If you have spent years as a mechanical or manufacturing engineer using CAD and ERP systems every day and you are ready for something different, that background is valuable here. You will need to be comfortable talking to customers, managing multiple projects, and learning a new product quickly.

• Experience implementing, configuring, or consulting on CAD, PDM, PLM, or ERP systems in a manufacturing environment
• A background in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a related technical discipline
• Comfort working directly with customers: running calls, presenting solutions, managing expectations
• The ability to think systematically about data mapping and configuration logic (this is not heavy coding, but you need to think in if/then terms)
• Strong communication skills with both engineers and business stakeholders
• Self-discipline to manage your own time and priorities across multiple concurrent projects in a remote environment

• Prior experience at a VAR, reseller, or systems integrator serving manufacturers
• Direct experience with Solid Works, Inventor, Solid Works PDM, Arena PLM, IFS, Infor Syteline, Acumatica, or Microsoft Business Central
• Familiarity with engineering change processes (ECOs/ECNs) and BOM management
• Experience with project management tools like Rocketlane, Asana, or similar
• Background consulting with discrete manufacturers (job shops, make-to-order, engineer-to-order environments)

• Base salary: $78,000 - $110,000+ depending on experience and level
• Bonus: Quarterly performance bonus based on team gross margin (typically $10,000 - $18,000+ annually at full productivity)
• Healthcare: 100% employer-paid employee coverage
• 401(k): 4% match
• PTO: Unlimited (subject to manager approval)
• Equipment: Laptop provided
• Location: Fully remote. Team is distributed across the US, Canada, and internationally.

We are growing fast and the team is small enough that your work matters immediately. You will not spend six months in onboarding purgatory. You will be on real…
