Role Overview

Solution Architecture & System Design

• Lead the end-to-end architecture and functional design for greenfield implementations, rollouts, and migrations from SAP WM/LE to SAP S/4HANA eWM.
• Translate complex supply chain and distribution requirements into scalable technical and functional designs.
• Design warehouse topologies, handling unit management (HUM), storage type search sequences, process- and layout-oriented storage control (POSC/LOSC), and wave management strategies.

• Oversee middleware integration (SAP CPI, SAP PO, Kafka) for communication with third-party logistics (3PL) systems, Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

Leadership & Governance

• Act as the technical design authority; conduct architecture review boards, code reviews, and performance tuning for high-throughput distribution centers.
• Mentor junior functional and technical consultants, write detailed functional/technical specifications (FDDs/TDDs), and drive cutover and hypercare strategies.
