Position Overview

Mako Professionals is seeking an experienced Siemens Teamcenter Quality Solution Architect to support a major quality digital thread initiative within an aerospace and manufacturing environment.

Our client is implementing an integrated quality management solution connecting Siemens Teamcenter PLM with Solumina Manufacturing Execution System (MES). The objective is to establish end-to-end traceability of engineering requirements, quality plans, inspection characteristics, manufacturing execution, and quality records across the product lifecycle.

This individual will lead the Teamcenter quality solution design, configuration, requirements analysis, and integration efforts while working closely with manufacturing engineering, quality management, IT, and MES teams.

The ideal candidate combines strong hands-on Siemens Teamcenter experience with an understanding of manufacturing quality processes, business analysis, system integrations, and regulated manufacturing environments.

Key Responsibilities Teamcenter Solution Architecture & Configuration

• Lead the design, configuration, and implementation of quality planning capabilities within Siemens Teamcenter.

• Develop and manage quality plans, inspection characteristics, inspection requirements, and related engineering quality data.

• Translate manufacturing quality requirements into Teamcenter functional and technical solutions.

• Define data structures, relationships, and traceability between engineering requirements, product definitions, quality plans, and manufacturing processes.

• Support Teamcenter workflows, business objects, attributes, configurations, and lifecycle management.

• Identify configuration gaps and recommend enhancements, customizations, or integration solutions.

Quality Process Analysis & Requirements

• Partner with quality engineering, manufacturing, and business stakeholders to document and optimize quality processes.

• Facilitate discovery workshops, gather requirements, document user stories, and define acceptance criteria.

• Analyze inspection planning, quality characteristics, defect management, nonconformance reporting, Material Review Board (MRB), and Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) processes.

• Support requirements related to audit management, supplier quality, FAA acceptance processes, and regulatory traceability.

• Perform fit-gap assessments between business requirements and Teamcenter functionality.

• Maintain requirements traceability throughout solution design, development, testing, and deployment.

Digital Thread & Systems Integration

• Design and support the flow of quality plans and inspection characteristics from Teamcenter into Solumina MES.

• Collaborate with MES architects, integration developers, and ERP teams to define interface requirements and data mappings.

• Establish data ownership, system-of-record decisions, and synchronization requirements across PLM, MES, and ERP environments.

• Support end-to-end traceability from engineering requirements through manufacturing and inspection execution.

• Define and validate as-planned versus as-built quality data relationships and unique identifier (UUID) traceability concepts.

• Participate in integration testing, defect resolution, and quality data validation.

Documentation, Testing & Knowledge Transfer

• Create process flows, swimlane diagrams, functional specifications, data mappings, and integration requirements.

• Develop requirements traceability matrices, user acceptance testing (UAT) scripts, and implementation readiness assessments.

• Support system testing, UAT, deployment readiness, and production stabilization.

• Provide documentation, technical guidance, and knowledge transfer to permanent client personnel.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in Siemens Teamcenter, PLM solution architecture, manufacturing systems, or closely related technical roles.

• Hands-on experience configuring or implementing Teamcenter solutions, including quality-related functionality.

• Strong understanding of manufacturing quality planning, inspection characteristics, and quality data management.

• Experience translating complex business requirements into system configurations and technical specifications.

• Experience with Solumina MES, SAP ERP, or other enterprise manufacturing systems.

• Familiarity with Siemens PLM integration technologies, APIs, or middleware.

• Understanding of aerospace quality processes, FAA regulatory requirements, AS9100, and ISO 9001.

• Familiarity with quality data traceability, closed-loop quality, and digital manufacturing initiatives.

• Experience supporting requirements involving Defect Reporting and Disposition Instructions (DRDI), nonconformance handling, supplier quality, and audit reporting.

• Experience using Jira, Azure DevOps, Visio, or similar requirements and process documentation tools.

• Previous experience mentoring, training, or transitioning solutions to internal support teams.

Expected Deliverables

• Teamcenter quality solution design and configuration documentation

• Quality process flows and swimlane diagrams
