• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
