CAD Business Analyst

Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other. We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live.

Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

Looking for someone who would be expected to know, or learn as needed, enough about CAD-related processes/products/people AND about PLM and CAD tools to partner with business to solve problems and make improvements. These tools primarily include PTC Creo Parametric application, using PTC Windchill for PLM.

This typically does not include day-to-day production support (but often will), but rather deals with relationships, communications, data, methods/processes, conventions (promoting commonality!), improvements, etc.

It requires an ability to troubleshoot tough issues, write a clear problem statement (which does NOT include solutions), understand and write requirements, and create optimal conceptual/solution designs which (as needed) can be used by developers in technical design & coding.

Also requires significant project management, data management, and Windchill/Creo software user skills. Computer science or deep technical knowledge is useful but not required. Objective should always be solving problems and creating solutions while avoiding/minimizing/reducing complexity and/or customizations (Simplicity: The art of maximizing the amount of work not done!).

Required:

Degree in an engineering field or 2-5 years work experience using Creo Parametric with Windchill.

Preferred:
Experience with Windchill or Creo Parametric support, training, or administration. A strong background or interest in computer science, 3D printing or additive manufacturing, Model-Based Definition or PLM/CAD AI tools is a plus.
