Technical Project Manager CTO PLM - Transformer Products

The Opportunity

The Technical Project Manager for the PLM CTO Program will lead the end-to-end delivery of the initiative to bring Distribution Transformer product data into PTC Windchill and enable automated Configure-to-Order (CTO) BOM generation using inputs from the Sales Configurator. This role ensures successful execution across Engineering, PLM, Sales, IT, and Manufacturing teams—driving alignment, system readiness, rule validation, and smooth rollout of the new digital product configuration process.
