PLM Analyst

Company Overview   

Amperesand is reinventing how the world powers its most critical systems.

We are facing a once-in-a-generation opportunity for infrastructure disruption. Electricity demand is skyrocketing, driven by AI factories, electric vehicles, and modern industrial growth. Energy supply is shifting to incorporate a more diverse mix of resources – including solar, gas, and batteries – at a massive scale.

And yet the power infrastructure behind our latest mega-projects hasn’t meaningfully changed in nearly 100 years. Supply chains for today’s infrastructure equipment can’t match the pace and sophistication of critical energy projects. Amperesand is building hardware and software that rewrites this broken power infrastructure playbook to support a new era of energy abundance.

We’ve built a new class of intelligent, software-defined power infrastructure products leveraging a decade of advanced medium voltage Solid State Transformer research that’s now ready for commercial deployment.

Our products and solutions go far beyond the capabilities of traditional electrical equipment. We make power systems that are faster to deploy, dramatically smaller and more efficient, and capable of supporting modern, dynamic energy needs for tomorrow’s most demanding energy consumers.

Scalable in-house advanced manufacturing capability is our foundation for meeting timeline and quality expectation to serve infrastructure customers around the world.

Amperesand is led by breakthrough energy hardware development veterans and funded by top tier investors who share our vision of building a category-defining energy technology company.

With hubs in San Francisco, Reno, and Singapore, our global team is laser focused on building foundational technology to solve the most pressing problems in power infrastructure at scale.

Join us in building the power foundation of the future!

About the Role 

Amperesand is looking for a PLM Analyst to join our IT team. This is an onsite position. In this role you will own the day-to-day administration, configuration, and support of our Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform and its integration with our engineering, manufacturing, and business systems. You will be the technical point of contact for our design and manufacturing teams' PLM/PDM needs, keeping CAD, product data, and change/release workflows running reliably as the company scales. You'll work closely with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers, as well as IT and business stakeholders, to design and maintain solutions that keep product data accurate, accessible, and secure. Depending on business needs, this role may include supporting users and systems on the factory floor.

What You'll Do 

• Administer, configure, and maintain the 3DEXPERIENCE platform (ENOVIA), including users, roles, collaborative spaces, security contexts, and lifecycle/maturity states
• Support and troubleshoot CAD and PDM tools in the Dassault ecosystem (CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, DELMIA, and 3DX-integrated design apps)
• Manage engineering data, BOM structures, and document control within PLM; support engineering change and release workflows (ECR/ECO)
• Configure, test, and document platform upgrades, patches, and new capability rollouts; validate before production deployment
• Build and maintain integrations between 3DX and adjacent systems (ERP, MES/factory systems, and identity/SSO via Entra ID)
• Perform regular system monitoring — verifying data integrity, health, and availability; reviewing logs; and ensuring scheduled jobs complete
• Lead problem-solving for PLM system and service issues; coordinate with Dassault and other vendors for escalations
• Onboard and train engineering and manufacturing users; write and maintain clear technical and end-user documentation
• Partner with engineering leadership to gather feedback on design decisions and continuously improve PLM processes and configuration
• Track, prioritize, and resolve PLM-related requests through the ticketing system
• Follow established procedures for data security, access control, and confidentiality of product data

What You'll Bring 

• 3+ years of hands-on experience administering or supporting a PLM/PDM system in an engineering or manufacturing setting
• Working knowledge of CAD data management and at least one major CAD tool (CATIA and/or SOLIDWORKS)
• Understanding of engineering change and release processes, BOM management, and product data structures
• Familiarity with integrating PLM to ERP and/or manufacturing systems
• Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills, including the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users
• Ability to work independently and cross-functionally in a fast-paced, changing startup environment

Nice to Haves 

• Direct experience with Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA (platform administration, security roles, collaborative spaces, lifecycle configuration) strongly preferred; other enterprise PLM experience (Teamcenter, Windchill) considered
• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Engineering, Manufacturing/Industrial Engineering, or a related field; or equivalent experience
• Dassault 3DEXPERIENCE / ENOVIA certification
• Experience with on-premises and/or 3DEXPERIENCE cloud (SaaS) deployments
• Scripting/configuration experience within the 3DX platform (EKL, widgets, or web services/REST APIs)
• Database experience (SQL/Oracle) for reporting or troubleshooting
• Exposure to Microsoft 365 / Entra ID for SSO and user provisioning
• Prior experience in a hardware, electronics, or manufacturing startup
