PLM Administrator

PLM Administrator

LightPath Technologies designs and manufactures the infrared optics and imaging systems that go into demanding defense and commercial applications. As we scale and integrate new capabilities, we're building out the digital backbone that ties our engineering, quality, and operations data together, and we're looking for the person who will own it. As our PLM Administrator, you'll be the go-to expert for our Product Lifecycle Management system including the part data, EBOMs and change workflows. You won't be writing the integration code. Our IT team and specialist partners handle the heavy build. You will define how the system works, set the standards, and make sure what gets delivered is right.

What you'll do

• Own the configuration, standards, and data model for our PLM system, including the part master, EBOM, document types, lifecycle states, and change workflows.
• Write the requirements and acceptance criteria for integrations and data migrations, then direct and validate the work our IT team and partners deliver.
• Be the first point of contact for every PLM user across Engineering, Quality, Operations, and our supply base.
• Keep the system audit-ready by enforcing the access controls, markings, and audit trails our compliance team defines, and produce the evidence needed for assessments.
• Build the dashboards and KPIs that show how our engineering processes are really performing.
• Find the friction in our workflows and make them better.

• 3 to 6 years administering a PLM system. You know your way around data schemas, workflows, lifecycle states, and permissions.

• A strong grip on BOM management, revision control, part numbering, and change management.

• The ability to turn a business need into clear technical requirements, and to tell whether a delivered build actually meets them.

• Someone who communicates clearly, documents well, and enjoys being the person others come to for answers.

Bonus points for

• Aras Innovator experience.
• Time spent in AS9100, CMMC Level 2, or ITAR-regulated manufacturing.
• Familiarity with optics or precision-assembly manufacturing, such as molding, metrology, coatings, and assembly BOMs
