Job Summary

Position Summary We are seeking a seasoned SAP PLM Solution Architect / Principal Consultant with 20+ years of experience leading product lifecycle, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain transformation in discrete industries. The role requires deep expertise in Non-Standard Requirements (NSR), Engineer-to-Order (ETO), Configure-to-Order (CTO), configuration management, New Product Introduction (NPI), BOM governance, Engineering Change Management, Variant Configuration, Object Dependencies, and integration between enterprise PLM platforms and SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA. Key Responsibilities SAP PLM and Engineering Transformation

• Lead enterprise SAP PLM strategy, solution architecture, roadmaps, and design governance.
• Design and optimize product development, NPI, product release, engineering records, document management, and product governance processes.
• Facilitate cross-functional workshops and translate business requirements into fit-for-purpose SAP and PLM solution designs. NSR and Customer-Specific Engineering
• Architect NSR processes covering customer requirement capture, technical evaluation, quotation support, approvals, engineering collaboration, manufacturing readiness, and delivery.
• Establish traceability from customer requirement and quotation through sales order, configuration, engineering, planning, manufacturing, and service.
• Define controlled trigger, revision, reprocessing, and freeze-point mechanisms for frequently changing customer requirements. ETO, CTO and Supply Chain Management
• Lead integrated ETO, CTO, Make-to-Order, and project-based manufacturing process design.
• Connect Engineering with demand planning, procurement, production planning, manufacturing execution, quality, logistics, and service.
• Design scalable operating models for complex, configurable, and customer-specific products. Configuration and Variant Management
• Govern characteristics, classes, configuration profiles, configurable materials, object dependencies, constraints, selection conditions, procedures, and variant tables.
• Lead SAP Variant Configuration and Advanced Variant Configuration solution design across quotation, sales order, planning, manufacturing, and service processes.
• Ensure configuration consistency, validation, effectivity, and end-to-end traceability. BOM and Engineering Change Management
• Define governance for EBOM, MBOM, configurable BOM, sales-order BOM, production BOM, and service BOM structures.
• Design Engineering Change Request and Engineering Change Order processes, including impact analysis, approval, effectivity, release, auditability, and downstream synchronization.
• Improve BOM accuracy, ownership, reconciliation, and change control across PLM and SAP. PLM to SAP Integration Architecture
• Define integrations between SAP and enterprise PLM platforms such as Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill, Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE, or Aras Innovator.
• Lead interface design for material master, classification, characteristics, documents, BOMs, engineering changes, configuration data, object dependencies, and status or lifecycle events.
• Guide selection and governance of integration patterns using REST APIs, OData, RFC/BAPI, IDoc, file-based exchange, middleware, and SAP BTP Integration Suite. SAP ECC and S/4HANA Transformation
• Assess existing ECC PLM and NSR custom solutions and define transition paths to S/4HANA.
• Promote simplification, standardization, clean-core principles, and appropriate use of side-by-side extensions.
• Define future-state architecture leveraging relevant SAP capabilities such as DMS, Engineering Change Management, AVC, MDG, BTP, and Integration Suite. Preferred Industry Experience Semiconductor equipment
• High-tech manufacturing
• Industrial and capital equipment
