Job Description

A large industrial manufacturing company in San Diego, is seeking a NPI/CAD Business Analyst to join their team. The ideal resource who would be expected to know, or learn as needed, about 'new product introduction' (NPI) engineering or conceptual design processes/products/people AND about related PLM and CAD tools. This is to partner with our NPI business groups to solve problems and make improvements. These tools primarily include Siemens NX and/or PTC Creo Parametric using PTC Windchill for PLM.

This role typically does not include day-to-day production support (but often will), but rather deals with relationships, communications, data, methods/processes, conventions (promoting commonality!), improvements, etc.

Requires an ability to troubleshoot tough issues, write a clear problem statement or user story, understand and write requirements, and create optimal conceptual/solution designs which (as needed) can be used by developers in technical design & coding.

Also requires significant project management, data management, and CAD/PLM software user skills. Computer science or deep technical knowledge is useful but not required. Objective should always be solving problems and creating solutions with an enterprise mindset, while avoiding/minimizing/reducing complexity and/or customizations
