Ensure development and systems data comply with regulatory, industry, and security standards (e.g., ARP4754, DO-178C, DO-254). Customization & Reporting Develop automation scripts, plugins, and integrations using REST APIs, OSLC, and JavaScript/Python . Design and maintain automated reporting templates and compliance dashboards (e.g., using IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization or BIRT). Qualifications & Requirements Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. Experience: 5+ years in software/systems engineering tooling. Digital Thread Expertise: Proven track record of integrating IBM ELM with major PLM systems (such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, or Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE). Aerospace Expertise: Strong practical experience with ARP4754A/B frameworks, including interaction with DO-178C (software) and DO-254 (hardware). IBM ELM Mastery: Deep, hands‑on expertise in the IBM ELM ecosystem. (Specific certifications like IBM Certified Specialist are a strong plus). Methodology Knowledge: Familiarity with Safety‑Critical Lifecycle Management, Agile, SAFe, and Waterfall delivery models. Technical Skills: Experience with Requirements Based Engineering and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), OSLC integration, and scripting/automation. Soft Skills: Excellent cross-functional communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills. #J-18808-Ljbffr Energy Jobline ZR
