We are dedicated to cultivating an equitable and inclusive environment that embraces our differences, and supports and celebrates all of our team members.

About the Role

As the Engineering Trainer, you will enable engineers and cross-functional teams to effectively use PLM, CAD, and configuration management tools in a disciplined, compliant, and efficient manner. You will design and deliver structured training programs that ensure users understand how to work in Teamcenter, execute model-based workflows, and maintain strong data integrity and configuration control practices. You will support onboarding, continuous learning, and regulatory readiness through well-structured training, documentation, and evidence of competency.

What You'll Do

• Deliver onboarding training for all personnel who require access to PLM tools
• Deliver NX CAD training covering modeling fundamentals, best practices, and advanced techniques
• Provide Teamcenter PLM training on workflows, data management, and system navigation
• Develop and deliver training modules covering Teamcenter fundamentals, engineering change workflows
• Teach CAD principles including modeling strategy, feature discipline, and assembly structure expectations
• Train users on Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) workflows and best practices
• Create structured, role-based learning paths for designers, Change Approvers, and support teams
• Develop and maintain training materials including guides, reference sheets, videos, and web pages
• Maintain and update Confluence documentation sites with training materials, standards, and process guides
• Maintain organized training libraries and ensure materials remain up-to-date with evolving processes and system capabilities
• Serve as the first line of guidance for common PLM and CAD usage questions, directing teams to appropriate training resources and documentation
• Communicate new processes, updates, and training expectations across the engineering organization
• Partner with Configuration Management and Product Lifecycle Engineering teams to support rollouts, workflow changes, and tool upgrades
• Support Design Data Integrity and Configuration Management teams with training on new processes and tools
• Gather user feedback, monitor adoption trends, and continuously improve training content to reduce errors, improve compliance, and increase tool proficiency

What You Need

• A self-starter mindset with a strong desire to teach, communicate, and help others succeed
• Ability to train users on CAD systems (NX, CATIA, CREO/Pro-E, or equivalent) and PLM systems (Teamcenter, Windchill, Enovia, 3DX, or equivalent)
• Background as a design engineer, CAD specialist, or drafter with practical experience creating production-ready CAD
• Experience working in and training Model-Based Definition (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) workflows
• Ability to model complex components, ideally including surfacing-driven geometry and Wave Linking to Interface Control Models
• Understanding of engineering change processes, including Change Requests, Change Notices, and related workflows
• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate complex engineering and CM concepts into practical, easy-to-understand training content
• Experience creating training materials such as web pages, presentations, written guides, or video tutorials
• Comfort leading workshops, hands-on training sessions, and group learning environments
• Ability to collaborate across engineering, CM, quality, and IT teams
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and documentation discipline
• Bonus Qualifications
• Hands-on experience in Siemens Teamcenter, including workflows, BOM management, and data structures
• Experience in NX, CATIA, or both, with deep familiarity in model lifecycle expectations and best practices
• Experience training composite modeling workflows in CPD (Composite Part Design) or Fibersim
• Ability to coordinate and facilitate working groups to define organizational standards and best practices
• Experience supporting PLM adoption, training initiatives, or enterprise rollout programs
• Experience in aerospace, automotive, or other complex engineering environments
