Job Description

SAP S/4HANA Solution Architect

We are seeking a visionary Senior SAP Solution Architect to directly shape our future enterprise solution. In this role, you will define the roadmap for our digital transformation from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring our aviation engine manufacturing and design operations remain agile. Acting as a technical vanguard, you will champion a "Clean Core" architecture by utilizing SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for side-by-side extensions and Cloud Integration (CPI) to connect complex multi-system environments while ensuring strict compliance with industry regulations.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Transition Strategy

Target Roadmap: Define end-to-end target architectures and long-term blueprints for hybrid cloud/on-premise landscapes.

Migration Strategy: Design conversion paths, phased rollouts, and coexistence frameworks between legacy SAP ECC and S/4HANA.

Integration Topology: Architect resilient, scalable, and real-time integration flows (iFlows) utilizing SAP CPI / Integration Suite.

Technical Execution & Governance

Debt Remediation: Evaluate legacy custom code within SAP ECC and formulate strategy plans to decouple or remediate it.

Landscape Connectivity: Oversee secure ecosystem connectivity using OData APIs, RESTful web services, and Cloud Connector.

Technical Oversight: Lead technical assessments, code reviews, and infrastructure configurations to maintain system health.

Functional & System Alignment

Process Orchestration: Align technical solutions with core business operations across Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality sectors.

Ecosystem Connection: Integrate core SAP functions seamlessly with third-party enterprise platforms (e.g., PLM, CAD, MES, MRO).

Domain & Industry Compliance

Aerospace Regulations: Ensure all designed solutions strictly adhere to AS9100 quality standards, ITAR, and global export control laws.

Asset Tracking: Design system logic to manage high-consequence data, including engine part serialization and life-limited component tracking.

Clean Core Enforcement: Champion standard-first governance, utilizing SAP BTP for application extensions to eliminate core modifications.

Delivery Frameworks: Infuse modern DevOps pipelines, Agile frameworks, and SAP Activate methodologies into the project lifecycle.

Stakeholder Management & Leadership

Trusted Advisory: Serve as a technical bridge, translating complex architectural choices into clear business value for executives.

Cross-Team Collaboration: Lead, mentor, and align global delivery teams, functional analysts, and development partners toward a unified vision.

Required Skills and Qualifications

Experience: Minimum 8–10+ years of SAP architecture and consulting experience in large enterprise settings.

Industry Background: Proven architectural experience within Aerospace & Defence, high-tech manufacturing, or aviation engine sectors.

ERP Mastery: Proven delivery of full-lifecycle implementations for both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA.

BTP Expertise: Hands‑on proficiency with SAP BTP environments (Cloud Foundry, Kyma, CAP, SAPUI5/Fiori).

Integration Expertise: Deep knowledge of building secure integration topologies in SAP CPI / Integration Suite.

Aerospace Modules: Exposure to relevant modules/solutions (e.g., SAP PLM, Production Planning, Quality Management, or MRO).

Modern Protocols: Advanced proficiency with OData APIs, RESTful web services, and Cloud Connector.

Methodologies: Solid grasp of SAP Activate, Agile frameworks, and cloud‑native DevOps pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with complex Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Bill of Materials (BOM) management for engines.

Experience handling tracking, serialization, and genealogy of life‑limited engine parts.
