We’re seeking a Senior Applications Engineer (PLM 3DExperience/HW Applications) to manage and optimize our 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) and CATIA infrastructure. You will contribute to and progressively own the 3DX environment end-to-end — platform administration, infrastructure management, performance tuning, platform upgrades, security, and end-user enablement. This includes building automation solutions, driving platform configuration and customization, and acting as the primary liaison between internal engineering teams and external vendors. Beyond 3DX, you will also support other Systems Engineering tools and infrastructure, including Manufacturing PLM and ECAD systems as needed. You will leverage AI tools to maintain agility and accelerate delivery.
Job Responsibility
Setup and maintain the 3DEXPERIENCE application platform infrastructure, ensuring high availability and performance across Linux-based systems
Design, test, and execute robust backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans to ensure platform resilience and data integrity
Manage access controls, security policies, and workspace configurations within 3DEXPERIENCE (ENOVIA/3DSpace)
Configure and customize the 3DX application platform and tools (e.g., CATIA) to satisfy business needs, including setting up Dashboards, Engineering Release workflows, Product Explorer, and Exalead search capabilities
Provide robust user support by troubleshooting platform issues, debugging application logs, and resolving complex technical challenges
Act as the primary point of contact for the engineering user base, communicating effectively to understand their issues and work requirements, and manage support tickets
Create and maintain up-to-date system documentation, troubleshooting runbooks, and a self-service knowledge base to empower users and streamline support processes
Collaborate directly with external software vendors (such as Dassault Systèmes) to augment capability where needed, escalate platform issues, and oversee system resolutions
Research, plan, and implement minor and major upgrades (e.g., code updates and new software releases) to the 3DX system alongside internal team members and partners
Provide automation solutions to reduce redundant effort and errors by developing custom scripts,writing CATIA macros, and utilizing MQL, EKL, REST APIs, and Web Services
Leverage GenAI tools to accelerate development, troubleshooting, and agility across your daily workflows
Requirements
8+ years of experience supporting, administering, and configuring CAD/PLM tools in an enterprise environment, specifically 3DEXPERIENCE and CATIA
Strong working knowledge of software infrastructure including Linux OS, MS SQL databases, web hosting servers (such as Apache Tomcat), load balancing, and reverse proxy configurations
Proven experience designing and executing enterprise-grade backup, restore, and disaster recovery strategies
Deep understanding of access and policy management, role configurations, and security contexts within ENOVIA/3DSpace
Demonstrated experience in user support, debugging system logs, troubleshooting software issues, managing support tickets, and writing technical runbooks
Direct experience executing 3DEXPERIENCE upgrades to newer versions
Hands-on programming and scripting expertise utilizing MQL, EKL, RESTful web services, and writing custom CATIA macros
Proven ability and comfort in leveraging AI tools to move faster and maintain agility in a fast-paced environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts to the user base and collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical teams, as well as third party vendors
Nice to have
Familiarity with design terminology used in CATIA, alongside CAD standards and user preferences
Experience deploying and managing applications within cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS)
Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) for infrastructure deployments
Proficiency in Python, React, and experience in writing custom APIs
Strong familiarity with different BOM management structures, and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally between engineering, manufacturing, and NPI personnel
Knowledge of other PLM applications (such as Arena) and familiarity with ECAD tools (like Cadence and Allegro)
