PTC, a global platform provider for the emerging internet of things (IoT) space, is to create 50 new jobs at its newly established R&D centre in Dublin.
Roles at the operation will include DevOps engineers, cloud architects and security architects.
This is not PTC’s first investment in Ireland. The PTC Academic Program is already part of the curriculum in academic institutions, including Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Dublin Institute of Technolody (DIT), Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT Dublin), Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT), Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT), and University of Limerick (UL), all of which teach PTC’s 3D modelling software solution, Creo.
