Windchill Technical Developer - name
Software Engineer
We're looking for a Software Engineer focused on designing and building scalable technical solutions. This mid level role requires 6+ years of relevant experience.
About the role
- Design and develop advanced Java customizations within Windchill, including custom services, listeners, processors, validators, and helpers.
- Extend the Windchill data model with custom types, attributes, and relationships using Type and Attribute Management (TAM).
- Build custom JSP and HTML extensions, including custom tables, actions, and wizard pages.
- Develop custom queues and background processes for asynchronous Windchill tasks.
- Implement complex workflow expressions and robot delegates in Java, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
- Optimize performance of Java customizations, including profiling, query tuning, and caching strategies.
- Adhere strictly to PTC customization best practices, ensuring upgrade-friendly customizations.
- Lead migration efforts to retire legacy customizations to modern PTC-supported patterns, planning phased cutovers, building backward-compatibility shims where needed, and ensuring each migration step is reversible and well-monitored.
- Conduct code reviews and uphold internal engineering standards, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
- Collaborate closely with functional consultants to translate complex requirements into clean Java designs.
- Provide hands-on post-go-live and hypercare support, working closely with operations teams to triage incidents quickly, identify root causes, and drive durable fixes that improve long-term system stability.
- Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
- Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- 6+ years of Java development experience, with strong focus on Windchill customization.
- Deep, hands-on experience with the Windchill Java API and customization frameworks.
- Solid understanding of Windchill data model, lifecycle, and workflow internals.
- Strong Java OO design and performance-engineering skills.
- Experience with JSP, HTML, and Windchill client-side customization.
- Hands-on experience with Type and Attribute Management (TAM).
- Strong SQL skills and familiarity with Oracle or SQL Server.
- Experience supporting Windchill upgrades.
