PLM Senior Engineer

PLM Senior Engineer

Costa Mesa, California, United States

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century's most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

About The Team

ArsenalOS is Anduril's unified production systems platform — the digital backbone for our manufacturing operations spanning PLM, MES, WMS, and supply chain systems. We're building modern, integrated solutions that enable us to scale hardware production with software velocity. In the ArsenalOS future state, users will not experience the lifecycle as disconnected silos. A design change will propagate into the bill of materials, planning systems, work instructions, quality workflows, and supplier-facing systems with minimal lag. A production issue will immediately surface to the teams responsible for design, manufacturing, supplier performance, and sustainment. Field signals will flow upstream fast enough to influence the next build of a product, not the next quarterly review. ArsenalOS will turn the Build Chain into a continuous learning system.

About The Job

We are looking for an experienced PLM Software Engineer with strong Teamcenter expertise to join the ArsenalOS PLM team. As a PLM Software Engineer on ArsenalOS, you will be architecting and implementing mission-critical Teamcenter customizations, integrations, and solutions that enable engineering teams to design, manage, and deliver complex hardware products at scale.

This is not a traditional "maintain legacy PLM" role. We want builders. As a member of ArsenalOS PLM, you will help architect and develop next-generation Engineering Backbone from the ground up — integrating CAD, ERP, MES, manufacturing, and engineering systems into scalable modern platforms. You'll be developing custom ITK services, SOA integrations, Active Workspace customizations, and enterprise integrations that serve engineering teams across multiple product lines. We spend time with engineering teams, then provide solutions for the challenges they face managing product data, BOMs, change management, and configuration management. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, deeply technical Teamcenter Software Engineer who thrives in fast-moving, greenfield environments. You combine strong software engineering foundations with Teamcenter expertise, while avoiding the "this is how PLM has always been done" mindset. We value curiosity, speed, ownership, clean architecture, and pragmatic execution over heavyweight process or legacy baggage. You should be equally comfortable with:

• Teamcenter internals and workflows
• APIs and distributed systems
• CI/CD and cloud-native architecture
• Integration patterns and event-driven services
• Data modeling and scalable engineering platforms

What You'll Do

• Own and deliver complex Teamcenter customizations and integrations for ArsenalOS PLM (ITK, SOA, BMIDE, Active Workspace)
• Build high-performance integrations between Teamcenter and other ArsenalOS systems (ERP, MES, change management, requirements management, CAD)
• Design and implement scalable data models, business logic, and workflow solutions while minimizing upgrade friction
• Contribute to improving the platform observability (Datadog, etc) and reliability
• Set the bar for engineering excellence — raise standards through opinionated technical decisions, architectural guidance, and high-quality code contributions
• Leverage frontier AI tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.) for rapid development and serve as a model for how the team should work at speed
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems architecture, software product and design, change management, requirements management, and manufacturing teams
• Define architecture standards for scalable growth and move quickly from concept → prototype → production

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a software engineering role building products, ideally in a fast-paced environment
• 3+ years of hands-on Teamcenter development experience including:
• ITK (Integration Toolkit) development in C/C++
• BMIDE (Business Modeler IDE) data modeling and customization
• SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) services and handlers
• Active Workspace (AWC) customization and development
• Teamcenter architecture, database schema, and administration
• Strong programming skills in Java, C++, and C#
• Experience with modern software development practices: version control (Git), CI/CD, automated testing, code review
• Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, etc.) and ability to leverage them for rapid, high-quality development
• Experience working with large enterprise applications and platforms with high availability requirements
• Database experience (SQL, Oracle or SQL Server, data modeling, query optimization)
• Strong opinions about code quality, architecture, and engineering best practices — you're a bar raiser
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering or related field
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Teamcenter upgrades/migrations (14.x → 2506/25.x) and cloud deployment architectures
• Experience with CAD integrations (NX, SolidWorks) and other PLM platforms (Windchill, Aras, Enovia)
• Experience in hyper growth startup-like environments or aerospace/defense manufacturing
• Understanding of PLM adjacent systems: ERP (Oracle, SAP), MES, WMS, CAD, BOM management
• Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes, product development lifecycle, and engineering change management
• Experience with web technologies (JavaScript/TypeScript, React, REST APIs)
• Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret/Top Secret Security clearance
