Job Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Product Lifecycle Developer to design, develop, and support customizations, integrations, and enhancements on the Windchill PLM platform. In this role you will work closely with PLM functional consultants and engineering stakeholders to translate manufacturing and product-lifecycle requirements into well-engineered Windchill solutions. The ideal candidate will combine strong hands-on Windchill Java customization experience with practical knowledge of Windchill data models, workflows, and integration patterns.

In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop Windchill customizations using the Windchill Java API and PTC-recommended customization patterns.
• Build custom listeners, services, and processors that extend Windchill behavior without compromising future upgrade paths.
• Develop and configure Windchill workflows, lifecycle templates, and object initialization rules.
• Implement custom Info
  * Engine tasks and adapters for system integration, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
• Build custom JSP and HTML client-side extensions where required, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
• Design and develop Windchill business reports using report templates and Cognos integration.
• Configure and operate Windchill Customizer’s tools, RBINFO files, and OIRs.
• Implement migration scripts for legacy PLM data into Windchill, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
• Optimize performance of custom code and database queries, working closely with DBAs.
• Conduct fit-gap analyses and translate business requirements into clean technical designs.
• Adhere strictly to PTC customization best practices to ease future upgrades.
• Provide hypercare and post-go-live support, including issue triage and root-cause analysis.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Five or more years of PTC Windchill development experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with the Windchill Java API.
• Solid experience with workflows, lifecycle templates, and object initialization rules.
• Working knowledge of Info
