Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a Solution Architect for Altium Agile Teams to join our organization. This role is ideal for someone who deeply understands engineering workflows and Altium technologies and wants to help mid-market and small enterprise customers deploy and optimize the Altium Agile Platform and related PLM capabilities.

Project Delivery & Documentation

• Participate in the creation of mini-SOWs or scoped implementation plans for team-level customers.
• Document configurations, templates, instructions, and repeatable best-practice deployments.
• Assist with data migration activities such as libraries, components, and project structures.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with Professional Services engineers on integrations or advanced technical tasks.
• Coordinate with Product and R&D teams to communicate customer feedback and feature gaps.

• Exposure to PLM concepts (lifecycles, BOMs, change management) in an engineering environment.

Technical Skills

• Working knowledge of ECAD workflows, libraries, project structures, data management.
• Understanding of cloud systems, permissions, integrations, and engineering collaboration tools.
• Basic familiarity with PLM concepts and how they apply to small engineering teams.
• Ability to document processes, configurations, and user guides clearly and concisely.

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving abilities and willingness to explore technical challenges.
• Customer-centric communication style with the ability to explain technical concepts simply.
• Ability to manage time across several small customer engagements.
