CAD Data Engineer / CAD & PLM Data Quality Specialist

Hi All,

Please find below JD:

Role Overview

We are seeking a detail-oriented CAD Data Engineer to manage, cleanse, and standardize CAD models and associated metadata within the PTC Creo and Windchill ecosystem. The role focuses on ensuring high-quality, reusable CAD data aligned with PLM standards, enabling efficient product development across multiple factories and programs.

Experience Range: 3 to 6 years of relevant experience in CAD/PLM environments, preferably with PTC Creo and Windchill.

Educational Qualification: Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering or related fields.

Key Responsibilities

• Classify CAD models (standard parts, templates, skeletons, layout/gathering models) and ensure proper categorization for reuse across products and manufacturing units.
• Ensure CAD models contain accurate and complete metadata aligned with PLM requirements and downstream consumption.
• Review attribute/parameter analysis outputs and apply necessary corrections to CAD models, including bulk updates using data extracts and automation tools.
• Resolve CAD model dependency issues by removing unused references and eliminating ghost objects, especially in shared library content.
• Simplify and maintain family tables to ensure correct instance usage and reduce maintenance complexity.
• Support Windchill check-in activities by resolving validation errors and ensuring alignment between CAD data and PLM structures.
• Collaborate with factory engineering and PLM teams to drive data quality, governance, and reuse strategies for standard parts and library content.
• Contribute to development of CAD/PLM standards, best practices, documentation, and user enablement initiatives.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in PTC Creo (parts, assemblies, templates, and data modification).
• Working knowledge of Windchill, including metadata structures, validation, and check-in processes.
• Experience in CAD data cleanup, standard parts library management, and Engineering BOM practices within a PLM environment.
• High attention to detail with the ability to analyze and correct large volumes of CAD and metadata systematically.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional engineering and PLM teams.

Nice to Have:

• Basic scripting or automation experience (e.g., Creo Parametric Toolkit/API, Excel macros, map keys, batch utilities).
• Exposure to automation tools such as SIGMAXIM or similar for high-volume data processing.

Tools & Systems

• PTC Creo
• Windchill (WGM)
• SIGMAXIM (where applicable)
• CAD data analysis and reporting tools
• Microsoft Office / Excel for data handling and reporting

Key Competencies

• CAD data governance & standardization
• PLM integration and data alignment
• Problem-solving and analytical thinking
• Process improvement and automation mindset
• Collaboration and stakeholder management
