US based software company PTC will create 50 new jobs at its newly established research and development centre in Dublin. 

PTC is a global provider of technology platforms and solutions that transform how companies create, operate, and service the “things” in the Internet of Things (IoT).

The Company's technology is primarily used by manufacturers to design, operate and maintain complex products in the IoT sphere.

The 50 positions will be filled by the end of 2018. Initial positions include DevOps Engineers, Cloud Architects and Security Architects.

The PTC Academic Program is already part of the curriculum in academic institutions such as Trinity College Dublin, DIT, ITT Dublin, GMIT, AIT, and University of Limerick, all of which teach PTC’s 3D modelling software solution, Creo.

The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland. 

Minister Mitchell O’Connor TD commenting on the announcement, said, "I am delighted that PTC is establishing an International Headquarters in Dublin creating 50 new jobs. Ireland has developed extensive expertise in ICT generally, particularly in software development. We have a very strong position in a range of IT specialities and we are very much aware that the 'Internet of Things', involving a world of connected devices, represents a new wave of potential and of growth opportunities." 

Craig Hayman, Group President, IoT Solutions Group, PTC said, “PTC is a recognised leader in the Internet of Things and in helping companies around the world design, build and service great products. Ireland is a strong location with a well-established technology sector well suited to complement the work we will be doing at our IoT Solutions research and development facility. The establishment of the Irish operation is key to PTC’s global growth strategy.”
