Job description

Swarm Aero is redefining air power, building the largest swarming UAV and the most versatile swarming aircraft network in the world. The company is moving quickly to launch the first aircraft designed specifically for swarming, as well as the Command & Control software to mobilize swarms of thousands of heterogeneous autonomous assets and empower human operators to achieve superhuman results.
The team has created and exited multiple startups, negotiated defense deals worth billions of dollars, and designed and built 30+ novel aircraft, with aerospace experience from Scaled Composites, Airbus, Archer Aviation, Blue Origin, and Boom Supersonic.
We're looking for a PLM Architect (Teamcenter) to own our product lifecycle management infrastructure and support the Aircraft team day to day. You'll work directly alongside structures and mechanical engineers to ensure our PLM environment is configured, maintained, and scaled to meet the demands of a fast-moving hardware program. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the center of how we manage design data, change processes, and engineering workflows across the aircraft.
What You'll Do
  • Administer and maintain Siemens Teamcenter environments across development and production, including installation, configuration, upgrades, and patching
  • Partner closely with structures design and mechanical engineers to understand workflow needs and translate them into effective PLM configuration
  • Manage user accounts, roles, groups, access controls, and licensing across the Teamcenter environment
  • Configure and maintain item types, workflows, change management processes, BOM structures, and classification hierarchies
  • Support CAD integrations including NX and other authoring tools used across the aircraft team
  • Troubleshoot and resolve PLM issues quickly, minimizing disruption to active engineering programs
  • Develop and maintain admin documentation, standard operating procedures, and user training materials
  • Collaborate with IT on infrastructure, backup, and disaster recovery for PLM systems
  • Identify and implement continuous improvements to PLM processes as the program scales
What We're Looking For
  • 7+ years of hands-on Siemens Teamcenter administration experience in a hardware-intensive environment
  • Strong understanding of PLM concepts: BOM management, change/release workflows, document management, and CAD data vaulting
  • Experience supporting mechanical or aerospace engineering teams as a PLM admin or systems engineer
  • Proficiency with Teamcenter server administration on Windows and/or Linux
  • Familiarity with NX or similar CAD integration within Teamcenter
  • Ability to work directly with engineers to diagnose issues and configure solutions without heavy process overhead
  • Strong communication skills and comfort operating in a fast-paced, build-oriented startup environment
  • Aerospace or defense program background is a strong plus, particularly experience with aircraft, UAV, or propulsion development programs
Nice to Have
  • Exposure to MBSE or MBD workflows and associated data management practices
  • Familiarity with Active Workspace configuration and customization
  • Scripting or automation experience (Python, Tcl, or similar) for PLM process automation
  • Experience migrating or consolidating PLM environments
  • Experience building or maintaining a digital thread in a manufacturing environment, connecting design, engineering, and production data across the product lifecycle
Location
This role is hybrid, based out of our headquarters in Oxnard, CA. Candidates must be local to the greater Ventura or Los Angeles County area and able to come onsite regularly and on short notice when the program requires it.
As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and trustworthy work environment, Swarm Aero conducts a thorough screening of prospective employees. Candidates will be subject to a comprehensive background verification process as a prerequisite for employment.
What We Offer
  • Meaningful equity in a high-growth defense technology company
  • Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
  • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k
  • PTO and paid sick leave
  • Monthly wellness stipend
  • Daily catered lunch (office)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Direct impact on a critical national security mission
  • A world-class team of engineers and operators solving genuinely hard problems
