Your Impact 

In today’s smart, connected world, businesses rely on powerful solutions and platforms to drive success and reach business objectives. For decision makers, the need to show ROI and value quickly from these technologies has never been greater. To realize maximum value from PTC’s solutions and platforms, successful deployment and adoption is essential.  

As a Technical Architect, you are one of the key contributors to the value our clients receive from their investments in PTC software.  You will quickly become a trusted advisor to your clients and their Solution Implementation partners, helping them implement proven, configurable solutions in both Cloud and on-premise environments.  You will leverage your domain expertise along with industry best practices to guide your clients to a powerful, smart, connected solution that accelerates time to value. 

Your Team 

As a Technical Architect reporting into the SaaS Delivery Management Office, you will be a key stakeholder supporting the project team.  You will work closely with our customer’s partner(s) in the implementation and conversion of their current PLM system to Windchill+.  You will broker the PTC ecosystem to provide the necessary technical support required to design and configure a solution that meets the WC+ guardrails, and you will leverage your expertise to support the enablement of PTC’s partner ecosystem.  Additionally, you will work with: 

• The customer/SI partner Project/Program manager to establish timeframes, schedules, deliverables, and the cadence of the project. 
• Implementation partner architect(s) to design, implement and validate solutions which are to be deployed in Windchill Plus SaaS environment. 
• Partner Consultants and Developers to support configuration, data migration and integrations leveraging the core software and framework in a fashion that most completely satisfies the client's requirements.

Your Day-To-Day 

The pace of your day is faster than average, and abounding with opportunities for both learning and leadership.  During the course of a typical project, you will become the SI’s trusted advisor, helping them deliver value from technology and process improvements brought about through the implementation/conversion of PTC’s Windchill+ solutions.  You will have ample opportunity to provide direction and delegation to a team of outstanding contributors, all the while retaining ownership and accountability for client success.  Another important component of your week is industrializing lessons learned in the field into training materials and job aids for the broader PTC and partner communities.
