XD Innovation is supporting a major UK defence programme in the search for an experienced PLM Architect.
You will join a combined client and multi-vendor delivery team, owning the design of PLM, CAD and ERP solutions from requirements through to delivered product. The role sits at the centre of the programme's technical delivery: shaping high and low level designs, guiding development teams across onshore, nearshore and offshore locations, and being the credible technical voice to senior stakeholders and architectural governance.
Key responsibilities
- Translate complex functional and non-functional business requirements into high and low level solution designs, covering both custom development and COTS configuration
- Design solutions across CAD, PLM, ERP and their integrations, with Siemens Teamcenter at the core
- Ensure designs address non-functional requirements including security, performance and resilience
- Act as the technical point of contact for analysts, developers, testers and support teams throughout delivery
- Work with mixed-vendor development teams to deliver high quality built product
- Present and justify designs to client senior leadership, business stakeholders and architecture governance boards, explaining how and why they meet business needs and architectural standards
- Deliver within a gated IT lifecycle, across both waterfall and Agile contexts
- Lead technical problem solving and troubleshooting across the solution landscape
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
