- Support production order and process order execution, including dispatching, material consumption, goods receipt, labor tracking, scrap, rework, and deviations.
- Configure and support material traceability, batch genealogy, and batch management processes.
- Design manufacturing processes that support non-conformance management, quality inspections, and regulated production requirements.
- Support phase-based manufacturing execution and integration with SAP S/4HANA manufacturing processes.
- Define and validate integration requirements between SAP DM and SAP S/4HANA for process orders, master recipes, BOMs, materials, production versions, inspection plans, batch data, and inventory transactions.
- Support integration of master recipes and SAP DM work instructions, inspection plans, material staging, and process order execution.
- Collaborate on integrations involving SAP EWM, SAP QM, SAP PP/DS, QMS platforms, barcode/scanner solutions, and label-printing systems.
- Support SAP BTP, SAP Cloud Connector, SAP Integration Suite/CPI, APIs, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and event-based integration patterns.
- Partner with technical teams to troubleshoot interfaces, data flows, connectivity, and execution issues across SAP DM and connected systems.
- Configure and support SAP DM user roles, authorizations, and appropriate shop floor access.
- Ensure SAP DM designs account for manufacturing controls, traceability, electronic records, and applicable regulatory and validation requirements.
- Develop functional specifications, process flows, configuration documentation, test scenarios, and supporting implementation documentation.
- Participate in functional testing, integration testing, user acceptance testing, validation activities, deployment, and post-go-live support.
What You'll Bring

- Strong understanding of material traceability, batch genealogy, batch management, and production order execution.
- Experience supporting quality inspections, deviations, rework, and non-conformance processes within manufacturing environments.
- Strong SAP S/4HANA integration knowledge, particularly involving process orders, master recipes, BOMs, materials, production versions, inspection plans, batch management, and inventory transactions.
- Experience integrating SAP DM with SAP S/4HANA and related manufacturing and supply chain applications.
- Knowledge of SAP BTP, SAP Cloud Connector, SAP Integration Suite/CPI, OAuth authentication, API management, and event-based integration concepts.
- Experience or strong working knowledge of SAP EWM, SAP QM, SAP PP/DS, and QMS integrations.
- Familiarity with barcode scanners, shop floor devices, and label-printing integrations.
- Experience conducting manufacturing requirements workshops and translating operational requirements into SAP DM designs and configurations.
- Strong process-mapping skills with the ability to document AS-IS and TO-BE manufacturing processes.
- Experience working with cross-functional Manufacturing, Quality, Production Planning, Warehouse, Regulatory, Validation/CSV, and Master Data stakeholders.
- Experience working within regulated manufacturing environments governed by requirements such as FDA, ISO 13485, and GxP.
