About the role

  • As the Principal Master Data Architect & PLM Owner, you will be the ultimate custodian and strategic architect of Bolt Graphics' product data.
  • Your immediate mission will be twofold: immediately architecting a rigorous, scalable master data governance process, and leading the end-to-end integration, implementation, and expansion of an enterprise cloud PLM system (such as Arena or Oracle Agile).
  • Data Stewardship: Act as the ultimate authority on data governance, leading the Data Governance Council to align cross-functional stakeholders on data standards and impact analysis.

Responsibilities

  • Master Data Architecture & Governance Data Schema Design: Design and enforce Bolt Graphics' Enterprise Item Master, including part-numbering strategies (smart or sequential), component categorization frameworks, custom attributes, and lifecycle state definitions.
  • PLM Implementation & System Ownership End-to-End Deployment: Lead the cross-functional evaluation, selection, and deployment roadmap of our enterprise PLM platform (e.g., Arena, Agile).
  • Supply Chain Data Syndication Multi-Tier Ecosystem Alignment: Establish secure, automated data-sharing protocols to syndicate approved vendor lists (AVL), manufacturer part numbers (MPNs), and release packages down to external foundries, ODMs, and EMS partners.
  • Selflessly collaborate towards our shared purpose.
  • Own the Extraction, Transformation, and Loading (ETL) strategy to migrate legacy data, disparate engineering spreadsheets, and silicon/hardware designs into the centralized
  • Architect and manage robust Engineering Change Order (ECO), Manufacturing Change Order (MCO), and deviance workflows, optimizing for both engineering velocity and operational rigor.
  • You will design the foundational blueprints for how data is structured, validated, and synchronized across our entire digital ecosystem-from early engineering concepts to mass production.
  • This is a high-impact, technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in data schema design, systems integration, and cross-functional influence across Engineering, Supply Chain, and Finance.

Requirements

  • Systems Integration: Direct experience mapping schemas and scoping APIs for PLM-to-ERP integrations (e.g., connecting Arena/Agile to systems like NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle).
  • Technical Literacy: Strong proficiency in data analysis and validation techniques.
  • Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of how hardware engineering data is generated, specifically managing EDA data (Cadence, Altium, Synopsys) and mechanical CAD databases (SolidWorks, Creo).
  • Ability to advocate for data integrity and align diverse stakeholders-translating highly technical data architecture concepts into clear operational value for executives, engineers, and procurement specialists alike.
  • Strong proficiency in data analysis and validation techniques.

Nice to have

  • Proven track record of leading at least one full-lifecycle, ground-up implementation or major migration of an enterprise PLM platform (Arena or Oracle Agile preferred).
  • Direct experience mapping schemas and scoping APIs for PLM-to-ERP integrations (e.g., connecting Arena/Agile to systems like NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle).
  • Experience with middleware/iPaaS tools (Celigo, Workato, MuleSoft) is a major plus.
  • BS/BA in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Systems, Operations, or a related technical discipline.
  • Master's degree or relevant data governance certifications preferred.
  • PLM Implementation: Proven track record of leading at least one full-lifecycle, ground-up implementation or major migration of an enterprise PLM platform (Arena or Oracle Agile preferred).

Compensation

  • $200,000-$225,000 per year (California).
  • This range represents the anticipated base pay for this role; the final offer may vary based on qualifications, experience, and location.

Benefits

  • Experience writing SQL queries, utilizing advanced Excel, or leveraging Python/data visualization tools (Tableau/PowerBI) to audit and report on data health metrics.
