Configuration Management & CAD Standards Lead (Teamcenter/NX)

Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries.

Hermeus is building a next-generation Product Lifecycle Management environment on Siemens Teamcenter and NX as a core pillar of our digital transformation. To ensure high-quality product definition and a reliable digital thread from Engineering through Operations, we are creating the foundational role of Configuration Management & CAD Standards Lead.
This individual will own the standards, processes, and assure compliance that make engineering releases accurate, complete and ready for consumption across all Operations.

Responsibilities::
• CAD Standards & Best Practices (NX):
• Create, publish, and maintain enterprise-wide NX modeling, drafting, part definition, reuse library, and attribute standards
• Define rules for modeling, WAVE links, assembly structure, and lightweight JT/PDF workflows.
• Partner with Engineering Mangers to align standards by Product
• Continuously evaluate and improve standards to support future automation, workflows and drive towards model-based definition
• Evolve standards as product complexity increases
• Drive adoption through training

• Configuration Management Governance:
• Own engineering release quality
• Verify that released drawings define part attributes, BOM structure, units, trace attributes, make/buy preference, materials, and revision information.
• Ensure each release contains complete and correct Engineering Change Notice metadata
• Uphold the existing part numbering, naming and lifecycle standards across releases
• Identify systemic quality trends and closing gaps through process changes, tooling, or training

• Data Quality & Downstream Readiness:
• Ensure released BOMs are complete, structures, and ready for planning and execution
• Partner with Supply Chain, Manufacturing Engineering, and Operations to confirm process and data meets consumption requirements
• Validate that engineering data entering Teamcenter is complete and structured for downstream systems
• Partner with Data Engineering to shape the long-term data model enabling traceability, analytics and digital-thread continuity across PLM, MES, and ERP

• Release Workflow & Process Leadership:
• Refine and enforce release workflows and approval routing
• Ensure adherence to release paths and required standards.
• Maintain SOPs, checklists and engineering governance documentation

• PLM/NX Tooling and Automation:
• Shape requirements for Check-Mate rules and attribute automation
• Partner with Systems team to ensure tooling enforces defined standards
• Influence long-term PLM roadmap by defining scalable rulesets and data structures that support process automation and AI-assisted engineering process flows
• Drive continuous improvement cycles to transition standards from human-enforced to machine-enforced where possible

• Training, Coaching, and Continuous Improvement:
• Train engineering teams on standards and best practices
• Run periodic reviews, audits, and corrective actions
• Build the foundations of a future Configuration Management team.

Minimum Requirements::
• Bachelors degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field. Equivalent work experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
• 5+ years with NX/Siemens Teamcenter, data structures and workflows.
• Deep understanding of configuration management principles.
• Deep knowledge of NX Modeling, drafting, assemblies, and standards.
• Ability to translate engineering intent into scalable rules.
• Experience locating, translating, and implementing regulatory and quality requirements as it pertains to CAD standards and best practices.
• Experience influencing/enforcing standards and mentoring engineers.

Preferred Skills & Experience::
• Experience with MBSE, digital thread, or model-based definition.
• Familiarity with aerospace and defense regulatory and quality requirements.
• Prior CM or CAD governance role.
• Exposure to PLM Automation and ERP/MES integrations.
