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!
Role Summary
Amperesand is looking for a PLM Analyst to join our IT team in Reno, NV. 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.
Responsibilities
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
Qualifications
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
This role requires working onsite; candidates must be able to work onsite five days per week
Bonus Qualifications
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
