PLM & Digital Thread Engineer @ Wabtec Corporation | Mechanical Engineering

About

I’m a PLM Engineer at Wabtec Corporation with 3+ years of experience working at the intersection of engineering, technology, automation, and digital transformation. My work has consistently involved identifying operational problems, understanding user pain points, designing solutions, and working with cross-functional teams to improve engineering workflows. Some of the problems I’ve worked on include: • Built an NX 3D Model Autoloading Tool that automated repetitive loading interactions, generated timestamped warning logs, enabled engineers to work on other sessions while models loaded, and reduced model-loading time by 18%. • Developed a Python-based VDI Performance Auditor to monitor CPU, RAM, and GPU utilization across multiple users, providing the VDI backend team with actionable data for root-cause analysis of NX performance issues. • Implemented a Product Cost Management workflow in Teamcenter by integrating Oracle and Teamcenter data with PCM master data for proposal BOM costing. • Worked on PLM workflow integration, FEA data migration, CAD-to-Mesh automation, engineering change processes, BOM management, and Model-Based Engineering initiatives. These experiences have made me particularly interested in Product Management—especially products where technology, engineering, data, and real-world user problems come together. I enjoy taking an ambiguous problem, breaking it down into its underlying causes, defining a practical solution, and working with technical stakeholders to turn that solution into something users can actually adopt.
