Software Development & System Integration

• Design and develop scalable applications using C#, .NET, JavaScript, and TypeScript.

• Build and maintain secure API integrations with PLM and ERP systems (e.g., Windchill, Thing Worx Navigate).

• Customize Windchill PLM workflows, UI components, and data models to support engineering change management and compliance.

• Develop reusable components and services for Power Platform applications.

Power Platform Development

• Build custom business applications using Low code platforms such Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse.

• Design and implement Copilot agents for task automation, chat-based assistance, and multi-agent collaboration.

• Implement modular architecture and reusable logic across Power Platform solutions.

• Integrate Power Platform apps with Microsoft 365 services (Teams, Outlook, SharePoint) for seamless user experiences.

• Apply best practices in low-code development for maintainability, performance, and scalability.

API Integration (Local & Third-Party Applications)

• Develop and maintain secure, scalable APIs to integrate internal systems such as PLM, ERP, and document control platforms.

• Build connectors and middleware to enable data exchange between Power Platform apps and third-party services (e.g., Autodesk, PTC, SAP, Salesforce).

• Ensure API integrations comply with enterprise security standards, including authentication, authorization, and data governance.

• Monitor and optimize API performance, reliability, and versioning across distributed systems.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define integration requirements and troubleshoot interoperability issues.

AI-Enhanced Engineering Workflows

• Collaborate with AI Agent Developers to embed intelligent features into engineering apps.

• Use outputs from Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio to enhance decision-making and automation.

• Support Copilot agent integration for PLM change management, QA/QC tracking, and NCR resolution.

Data Visualization & KPI Tracking

• Develop Power BI dashboards for engineering KPIs, anomaly detection, and performance insights.

• Use success pattern mining and historical data to inform automation triggers and recommendations.

Process Automation & Optimization

• Identify automation opportunities using RPA tools to reduce manual effort.

• Lead workflow re-engineering initiatives across engineering and service teams.

• Transform legacy processes (e.g., document control, change management) into AI-enhanced digital workflows.

Collaboration & Technical Excellence

• Conduct peer reviews of code, app logic, and data models to ensure quality and consistency.

• Document application architecture, integration patterns, and development standards.

• Contribute to training materials and internal documentation aligned with LMS and compliance tracking.

What We Look For

Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field.

• 6+ years of experience in software development, with strong focus on Microsoft technologies.

• Hands-on experience with Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse).

• Proficiency in API development and integration (REST, GraphQL, OAuth).

• Experience customizing Windchill PLM and integrating with ThingWorx Navigate.

• Familiarity with Azure AI services and Copilot Studio.

• Strong understanding of software architecture, modular design, and performance optimization.

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred:

• Experience with CAD APIs (e.g., Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo).

• Background in engineering workflows such as QA/QC, NCR, and field service operations.

• Certifications in Microsoft Power Platform, Azure, or PLM systems.

• Experience with Microsoft 365 Agents Toolkit and enterprise-grade agent integration.
