Descriptions & Requirements

Job Description and Requirements

You are the person teams call when their tools need to work reliably, and their data needs to tell a story that actually drives action. You have the experience administrating requirements management platforms like Jama Connect or IBM DOORS for engineering teams, not just checking boxes but structuring workflows and traceability models that help people do their jobs. You are comfortable working with the REST APIs, Python scripts, and you know how to develop integrations and automations/plugins.

 

What You'll Be Doing

  • Administer, support, and expand requirements management tools like Jama Connect (preferred) or IBM DOORS, ensuring uptime, adoption, and effective usage across engineering teams
  • Design, implement, and refine tool structures—workflows, traceability, item types, attributes, dashboards, and reporting—so teams have what they need to build and ship with confidence
  • Build, maintain, and troubleshoot customizations and integrations using Python, REST APIs, and related technologies to connect platforms and automate routine work
  • Deliver ad hoc analyses and data mining projects to support process improvement and compliance tracking
  • Train engineers, process owners, and end users on best practices, workflows, and tool adoption; provide ongoing support and documentation

 

What You'll Need

  • At least 5 years of hands-on experience with requirements management tool administration (Jama Connect preferred, IBM DOORS, or similar)
  • Proven expertise designing, configuring, and maintaining tool architectures: workflows, traceability models, attributes, dashboards, and reporting
  • Experience building and supporting tool integrations and customizations using REST APIs, Python, or similar
  • Experience collaborating directly with technical and process-focused stakeholders to translate needs into tool and data solutions
  • Understanding of requirements engineering concepts and familiarity with standards like ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148 is a plus
  • Experience with ETL/data pipelines, data migration, or tool-to-tool synchronization is a plus
  • GitLab experience for version control is a plus
  • Skills with Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service, including report and dashboard creation, DAX calculations, and data modeling is a plus
  • Skills working with structured and semi-structured data (CSV, Excel, Snowflake) is a plus

 

The Impact You Will Have

  • Engineering teams will move faster because their requirements management tools actually fit the way they work, not the other way around
  • Integration and automation work will eliminate manual steps, reduce errors, and free up your colleagues to focus on design and development
  • Ad hoc reporting will shine a light on what’s working (and what’s not), driving measurable improvements in process compliance and delivery
  • Your training and support will raise the technical bar for everyone using these platforms, increasing adoption and reducing tool friction
  • Well-structured requirements and traceability models will strengthen the team’s ability to meet industry standards and customer audits
  • Your presence will mean fewer tool headaches, less wasted time, and more focus on engineering the next generation of Synopsys IP

 

Who You Are

  • You spot process gaps and tool pain points before they become project delays, and you fix them at the root
  • You can walk an engineer through a tricky workflow update or a VP through a complex report—adapting your language to the audience without losing the technical detail
  • You value clean, maintainable configurations and well-documented automations, not just quick fixes
  • You dig into messy data and emerge with insights that drive action
  • You follow up when things break, own the issue, and don’t stop until it’s working for everyone
  • You enjoy collaborating across teams, building trust by delivering solutions that make colleagues’ lives easier

Your recruiter will share more about the team structure and mission during the interview process.
