R&D Engineering, Staff Engineer
Skills
About the role
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 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.
