About the Project : The Ford Product development Bill of Material (BOM), Features and Change Management application, vital for automotive product development.

This system helps over 9000+ Automotive Engineers manage vehicle program features, parts, and usages, providing essential data for manufacturing and assembly. Currently, this core application uses Java-J2EE, JavaFX, WebSphere, Web Services, XML, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. We are undertaking a strategic migration to re-platform it onto the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) platform, primarily using ENOVIA for PLM and BOM management, with strong integration to CATIA for design data. This transformation is key to building advanced digital twins and streamlining our automotive product development. As a 3DX Developer, you will be crucial in this transformation, designing, coding, and implementing robust software solutions within the 3DX ecosystem. You will directly impact how our next-generation vehicles are designed and manufactured. Our team also develops APIs for integrations, ensures system security, and explores AI / ML projects (including Large Language Models - LLMs) for BOM utilization and other efficiencies. We operate in an Agile environment, using tools like GCP Cloud Build, Tekton, Jira, and GitHub.

Position Description :

• Develop and customize 3DX solutions focusing on ENOVIA for automotive PLM, BOM, configuration, and change management.
• Lead code-based migration of existing Java BOM functionalities to 3DX, including data transformation and API development .
• Write and maintain complex customizations, scripts , and integrations using EKL, MQL, Java (for 3DSpace / ENOVIA), JavaScript (for client-side), and Web Services / APIs .
• Collaborate with Automotive Design, Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams to translate requirements into effective 3DX software solutions .
• Develop Unit and Integration test cases for 3DX code , customizations, and integrations.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and provide code fixes for deployment and production issues.
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (e.g., Backlog Refinement, Stand-ups ).
• Provide rotational support for the 3DX application.
• (Optional) Develop integrations to connect 3DX data with AI / ML tools (Python, Qliksense, Alteryx, LLMs) for advanced analytics and automation.
