Simple Software Solutions Group, Inc

• Administer, upgrade, and maintain the existing global SAP MII, SAP ME (NetWeaver Java stacks), and core ERP (ECC and S/4HANA) infrastructure. • Lead the BASIS-side execution of migrating from ECC to S/4HANA, including the setup, configuration, and security routing of SAP BTP Cloud Connectors. • Configure and maintain high-volume, real-time middleware connectivity (RFC destinations, ALE/IDoc ports, OData gateway configurations) linking the ERP core to the shop-floor MII/ME layers (excluding SCADA). • Monitor and optimize memory management, database performance (SAP HANA and SQL Server), work processes, and JVM settings to eliminate latency in manufacturing data transfers. • Implement strict security hardening, encryption protocols, and user authorization controls across all layers to comply with A&D standards (ITAR, EAR, NIST, and data residency laws between the US and Mexico). • Partner closely with the Principal MII/ME Architect and Senior ABAP Developer to deploy custom transport requests, provision cloud environments, and troubleshoot infrastructure bottlenecks.

• Develop, optimize, and maintain modern interfaces utilizing OData services, CDS Views, and AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures) to connect S/4HANA with SAP MII and SAP ME. • Design and build clean-core extensions, APIs, and integration flows on SAP BTP to orchestrate data between S/4HANA and shop-floor solutions. • Create custom ABAP objects, User Exits, BADIs, and Enhancement Spots within core S/4HANA manufacturing modules (PP, QM, MM, PM) using RAP (ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model) or modern extensibility frameworks. • Troubleshoot, profile, and optimize complex ABAP code and S/4HANA database queries to handle high-volume, real-time data transmissions without latency. • Ensure all custom code, BTP applications, and data structures strictly comply with defense-specific compliance mandates, including ITAR data segregation and secure cloud standards. • Partner closely with the Lead Functional Consultant and Principal SAP MII/ME Architect to translate technical specifications into secure, scalable S/4HANA and BTP solutions.

• Lead global workshops to gather manufacturing requirements, map business processes, and author detailed functional specifications for SAP ME and MII. • Configure and design SAP ME processes tailored to A&D operations, including complex routings, operation activities, shop floor orders, data collections, and non-conformance management. • Evaluate the existing global SAP MII implementation to identify optimization opportunities, manage change impact for upgrades, and seamlessly integrate new SAP ME functionality. • Define the functional data flow and mapping between SAP ERP modules (PP, QM, MM, PM) and shop-floor solutions via SAP MII. • Ensure all functional process designs adhere strictly to defense sector mandates, including ITAR tracking, EAR, AS9100 quality standards, and product serialization traceability. • Own the creation of end-to-end testing scenarios (UAT/SIT), coordinate validation testing, and lead change management and training initiatives for plant personnel.

• Lead the architectural design, roadmap, and execution for upgrading, scaling, and optimizing an existing global SAP MII and SAP ME landscape. • Design, configure, and deploy SAP ME solutions to manage shop-floor operations, routing, data collection, non-conformance, and product traceability. • Architect robust, real-time data flows bridging SAP ERP (ECC/S/4HANA) with SAP ME/MII without direct SCADA layer responsibilities. • Ensure all SAP ME/MII architectural designs strictly comply with A&D standards, including ITAR, EAR, NIST, and cybersecurity frameworks. • Maintain and govern the global SAP MII/ME template, ensuring regional rollouts adhere to core standards while minimizing custom code. • Guide offshore/onshore development teams through complex troubleshooting, code reviews, and performance tuning of data queries and ME configurations.

• Support system administration, manufacturing, SCM, PM, QM, Transportation management, and release management. • Install SAP systems and components • Configure application servers and databases • Monitor SAP system health Manage work processes • Create and maintain SAP users Assign roles and profiles • Analyze system bottlenecks Optimize database performance • Manage transport landscape Import/export transports • Apply SAP Support Packages Implement SAP Notes Upgrade SAP releases.

• Design and implement highly available, resilient, and cost effective platforms and middleware solutions. • Drive automation initiatives using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevOps practices to improve efficiency and reduce manual operations. • Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines supporting containerized applications. • Engineer and support container platforms such as RedHat OpenShift (OCP) and other Kubernetes platforms (EKS/AKS/ECS) in enterprise environments. • Implement and manage service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio) to enhance traffic management, observability, and microservices security. • Establish monitoring, logging, and alerting standards to ensure platform reliability, performance, and SLA compliance. • Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for Middleware platforms, advising teams on architecture, best practices, and operational excellence. • Partner with security and compliance teams to embed governance, security controls, and DevSecOps practices into platform designs. • Lead troubleshooting efforts and act as an escalation point for complex Level III and Level IV production issues. • Install, configure, and maintain middleware platforms, Kubernetes clusters, applications, and supporting infrastructure. • Mentor and guide junior engineers, promoting best practices and supporting technical growth across the team. • Document architecture, operational procedures, and standard operating processes following industry standards. • Participate in and lead technical discussions, contributing to architectural decisions and cross functional collaboration. • Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend improvements that enhance platform performance, security, and scalability.
