Job TitleDuration: 8+ months contract Hybrid ScheduleAs a core member of our engineering and systems team, you will design, implement, and maintain the IBM ELM/Jazz platform to support safety-critical aerospace workflows and drive our Digital Thread initiative. You will support tool development for managing and tracking RBE activities, ensuring seamless compliance and end-to-end traceability from aircraft-level requirements through manufacturing, software, and hardware verification. You will act as the master architect connecting systems engineering data with broader enterprise engineering lifecycles.Design, implement, and maintain integrations between IBM ELM and enterprise systems (e.g., PLM, CAD, ERP, MES) to form a unified Digital Thread. Build linked data pipelines across tools using OSLC (Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration), REST APIs, and specialized middleware (e.g., IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Integration Adapter). Define data federation and synchronization strategies to ensure "single source of truth" visibility across the entire product lifecycle. Establish automated configuration management links between systems engineering data and physical product structures (e.g., As-Designed/As-Built BOMs). Align the IBM ELM platform workflow with ARP4754 guidelines for civil aircraft development. Map and track development assurance levels (DAL A through E) across all system architecture elements. Prepare automated traceability and verification matrices to support compliance audits and SOI reviews.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).
