  • Develop and own the Manufacturing Architecture Roadmap, aligning system evolution with enterprise goals and Industry 4.0 strategy
  • Provide architectural direction across MES, SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM), and Plant Connectivity (PCo)/Sepasoft integrations using OPC UA, MQTT, and API-based frameworks
  • Champion Smart Factory initiatives by integrating IoT, AI/ML, and data-driven analytics into manufacturing and quality processes
  • Lead the design and delivery of end-to-end manufacturing solutions that bridge SAP and non-SAP systems
  • Oversee system design reviews, technical feasibility, and integration architecture for Manufacturing, Quality, and Warehouse systems
  • Collaborate with System Engineers and Functional Analysts to deliver scalable, maintainable, and high-performing solutions
  • Define design patterns, data flow standards, and integration best practices for real-time and asynchronous communications between MES, SAP, and SCADA
  • Govern the use of BTP (Business Technology Platform) and Mendix for extensions and lightweight shop-floor applications
  • Establish and chair the Manufacturing Architecture Review Board, ensuring solution integrity and alignment with enterprise standards
  • Define architecture principles, review frameworks, and conduct design assurance for all manufacturing-related projects
  • Drive alignment between projects, production support, and business transformation initiatives, ensuring architectural consistency
  • Partner with the Production Support Lead to ensure post go-live sustainability, performance, and compliance
  • Evaluate and implement emerging technologies — including predictive maintenance, machine learning, and digital twin capabilities
  • Lead proof-of-concepts (POCs) for new manufacturing tools, integrations, and frameworks
  • Drive adoption of Agile delivery practices and promote continuous improvement in design, testing, and deployment processes
  • Enable interoperability between MES and PLM for improved Engineering-to-Manufacturing handoffs
  • Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Finance leadership to translate operational goals into system capabilities
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business stakeholders, providing guidance on feasibility, impact, and solution options
  • Manage relationships with implementation partners, vendors, and system integrators, ensuring adherence to design guardrails
  • Communicate technical roadmaps and progress updates clearly to executive stakeholders

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, or related field
  • Master’s preferred
  • 15+ years of experience designing and implementing manufacturing and shop-floor systems, including SAP S/4HANA PP, QM, PM, WM/EWM, and MES integrations
  • Deep understanding of manufacturing operations, plant maintenance, quality processes, and logistics integration
  • Hands-on experience with SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM), SAP PEO, or equivalent MES platforms (e.g., Sepasoft, Ignition, Dassault DELMIA)
  • Strong knowledge of SCADA, PLC communication standards, and data acquisition protocols (OPC UA, MQTT, REST APIs)
  • Familiarity with SAP BTP, Mendix, or low-code extensions for shop-floor enablement
  • Working understanding of SAP security, change management, and GxP/quality compliance frameworks
