Job Summary:
We are seeking an experienced Windchill Java Developer focused on deep, low-level Windchill customizations using Java, PTC APIs, and PTC’s customization frameworks. This role suits engineers who enjoy working close to the platform, extending its behavior through services, listeners, and processors while preserving a clean and upgrade-friendly customization layer. The ideal candidate will bring strong Java fundamentals, deep familiarity with the Windchill platform internals, and a disciplined, performance-aware engineering style. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop advanced Java customizations within Windchill, including custom services, listeners, processors, validators, and helpers.
- Extend the Windchill data model with custom types, attributes, and relationships using Type and Attribute Management (TAM).
- Build custom JSP and HTML extensions, including custom tables, actions, and wizard pages.
- Develop custom queues and background processes for asynchronous Windchill tasks.
- Implement complex workflow expressions and robot delegates in Java, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
- Optimize performance of Java customizations, including profiling, query tuning, and caching strategies.
- Adhere strictly to PTC customization best practices, ensuring upgrade-friendly customizations.
- Lead migration efforts to retire legacy customizations to modern PTC-supported patterns, planning phased cutovers, building backward-compatibility shims where needed, and ensuring each migration step is reversible and well-monitored.
- Conduct code reviews and uphold internal engineering standards, applying disciplined engineering practices and partnering closely with stakeholders to ensure outcomes are durable, well-documented, and aligned with broader team and platform standards.
- Collaborate closely with functional consultants to translate complex requirements into clean Java designs.
- Provide hands-on post-go-live and hypercare support, working closely with operations teams to triage incidents quickly, identify root causes, and drive durable fixes that improve long-term system stability.
- Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers onto over time.
- Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time.
