• Strong expertise in: Teamcenter (incl. configuration & backend administration); Polarion (workflow and data configuration)
• Experience with system integrations and ERP interfaces (MONITOR is a plus)
• Solid understanding of structured product development and requirements traceability
• Comfortable working both strategically and operationally in tool environments
