POSITION SUMMARY:
This position leads functional design, requirements analysis, codeless BMIDE configuration, workflow design, and user acceptance testing across all of the major PLM task areas such as part and BOM change management, document change management, and integration with CAD, ERP, MES, eQMS, and other IS/IT systems.
The Senior Functional Analyst partners closely with company stakeholders and serves as the principal functional counterpart to the Principal Developer – Teamcenter X, Teamcenter X administrators, infrastructure engineers, and Siemens or systems-integrator partners. The role champions process standardization, GxP and 21 CFR Part 11 alignment, and measurable business outcomes from MSD’s PLM investment

- Author and maintain functional specifications, configuration specifications, traceability matrices, test protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ), and user procedures consistent with 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and MSD’s ISO 27001 controls.
- Lead user acceptance testing (UAT): build test plans and scripts, coordinate business testers, triage and prioritize defects, and confirm readiness for validation and production release.
- Support Active Workspace stylesheet, command, and view configuration; partner with the Teamcenter Developer team on declarative UI definitions and on translating business needs into client-side experience requirements.
- Provide tier-3 functional support for production Teamcenter incidents and service requests; perform root-cause analysis, drive permanent corrective actions, and identify continuous-improvement opportunities.
- Mentor junior analysts and end-user power-users; deliver training, office hours, and enablement content; serve as the functional Subject Matter Expert (SME) in cross-functional steering and governance forums.
- Contribute to PLM roadmap planning, release planning, and vendor management activities with Siemens and implementation partners; review and validate vendor deliverables against MSD’s acceptance criteria.
- Represent the functional perspective in digital-thread initiatives connecting Teamcenter to downstream consumers (ERP, MES, quality, and analytics platforms), ensuring data integrity, traceability, and process alignment across the product lifecycle.
EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related discipline; equivalent combination of education and experience considered.
