• Architect the core industrial stack (ERP-e.g., SAP/Oracle; MES; PLM; QMS; WMS) and OT/IT convergence with IIoT, edge, and analytics.
• Enable smart factory capabilities (predictive maintenance, digital work instructions, traceability, SPC) and resilient global supply chain integration.
• Define multi-cloud strategy (Azure/AWS), hybrid patterns, landing zones, network segmentation, SASE/SD-WAN, and edge architectures.
• Lead API-first integration (iPaaS/ESB, event streaming), microservices, container platforms, and CICD guardrails.
• Own enterprise data architecture: MDM, metadata, lineage, lakehouse/warehouse, data mesh where appropriate, and data quality/governance.

• Partner with Finance on cost optimization (cloud FinOps, license optimization).

• BS in Computer Science/Engineering or related; MS/MBA preferred.
• 10+ years in architecture/engineering with 5+ years leading architecture teams in complex, global manufacturers; proven delivery at scale across ERP/MES/PLM and cloud.
• ERP (SAP/Oracle), MES, PLM, QMS; OT protocols and plant network segmentation.Azure/AWS architecture, landing zones, and infrastructure as code.
• Data platforms (lakehouse/warehouse), MDM, governance (catalog/lineage), analytics/AI.
• Zero Trust, IAM, SSO/MFA, PAM, EDR/XDR, data protection, logging/observability.
• Demonstrated experience with SOX ITGCs and regulated customer requirements (NIST 800-171/CMMC, DFARS, ITAR/EAR); contract flow-down comprehension.
