About the role

Staff level engineer responsible for the engineering-application and product-data side of the hardware engineering experience within OpenAI's HEX team, focusing on NX, Teamcenter, licensing, parts import, integrations, packaging, validation, and user workflows to build reliable, automated engineering systems for hardware development.

Responsibilities

  • Own the technical architecture, deployment, configuration, integration, validation, and long-term operation of NX and Teamcenter.
  • Build reliable workflows for parts import, product-data migration, metadata quality, BOMs, revisions, lifecycle states, and release processes.
  • Replace manual setup documentation with automated installation, configuration, validation, diagnostics, and recovery workflows.
  • Build tooling around NX, Teamcenter, MCAD, ECAD, CAE, plugins, licenses, and engineering environments.
  • Define and validate the golden path for hardware engineers: access, open, design, save, retrieve, release, simulate, and get help.
  • Partner with mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, simulation, manufacturing, systems, and product-design teams to understand where workflows break.
  • Work with Compute & Infrastructure-focused HEX Engineers so applications, product data, storage, VDI, HPC, and licenses feel like one coherent system.
  • Partner with contractors and vendors while keeping architecture, requirements, validation, acceptance, and long-term ownership inside HEX.
  • Build health checks, regression tests, observability, diagnostics, and support tooling that make failures easy to detect and recover from.
  • Help establish the technical standards, operating model, and engineering culture for the growing HEX organization.

Qualifications

  • Experience with Teamcenter Active Workspace, BMIDE, ITK, SOA/REST, and Teamcenter customization.
  • Experience with NX Open, managed mode, customer defaults, templates, licensing, packaging, and upgrades.
