ERP & Manufacturing Applications Principal

ERP & Manufacturing System Ownership

• Serve as the principal technical owner and architect for Oracle EBS - modules in use, configuration, customizations, and upgrade/patch strategy
• Serve as the principal technical owner and architect for Deltek Costpoint, including government contract accounting and compliance-relevant configuration (DCAA/DFARS cost accounting requirements)
• Own the DELMIA Velocity MES environment and its integration with Oracle EBS/Costpoint for production, inventory, and shop-floor data
• Own the integration architecture between Oracle EBS, Costpoint, DELMIA Velocity, and the PLM environment (Windchill/Teamcenter), ensuring data flows cleanly across engineering, manufacturing, and finance - partnering with the Principal Engineer IT (Engineering Applications), who owns PLM, on the PLM-to-MES integration and design-release handoff

Optimization & Consolidation

• Assess the current ERP/manufacturing application landscape for redundancy, technical debt, and inherited L3Harris dependencies, and drive a consolidation roadmap
• Continuously evaluate system performance and configuration for optimization opportunities - this is a standing mandate, not a one-time project
• Right-size Oracle EBS, Costpoint, and DELMIA Velocity environments for Rocketdyne’s actual scale rather than the inherited L3Harris footprint
• Identify opportunities to retire or consolidate overlapping business applications as part of the TSA exit and beyond

Cloud Transition (Oracle EBS)

• Evaluate the case for transitioning on-prem Oracle EBS to a cloud-hosted model on OCI or Azure, including cost, performance, and risk trade-offs
• If pursued, lead technical planning and execution oversight for the Oracle EBS cloud migration, partnering with the Cloud & Collaboration Principal on hosting architecture and the Director of Infrastructure’s team on networking/identity integration

TSA Exit & Migration

• Lead technical migration of Oracle EBS, Costpoint, and DELMIA Velocity off any cloned or shared L3Harris infrastructure onto Rocketdyne-owned infrastructure
• Validate data integrity and integration continuity through each cutover
• Support software license reconciliation for ERP and manufacturing applications - confirming which licenses transfer vs. require net-new purchase

Outsource Partner Management

• Direct and manage outsourced AMS/implementation partners performing day-to-day configuration, support, and project delivery on Oracle EBS, Costpoint, and DELMIA Velocity
• Own technical acceptance of outsourced partner deliverables - review, test, and approve work before it moves to production
• Set technical priorities and work assignments for outsourced partner teams, translating the ERP/manufacturing roadmap into partner-executable scopes of work
• Escalate and manage partner performance issues (quality, schedule, cost) in partnership with vendor management/procurement
• Evaluate outsourced partner statements of work and level-of-effort estimates for technical soundness before commitment

• 8+ years supporting Oracle EBS in a manufacturing or government-contracting environment, with deep hands-on configuration/administration experience
• Direct experience with Deltek Costpoint, including government contract accounting and DCAA/DFARS-relevant configuration
• Experience integrating ERP with MES and/or PLM systems
• Demonstrated track record of driving system optimization and/or application consolidation initiatives, not just keeping systems running
• Experience operating ERP/manufacturing systems within a regulated environment (CMMC, ITAR, DFARS, or equivalent export-control/compliance framework)
• U.S. Person status required (ITAR data access)
• Demonstrated experience directing and managing outsourced/AMS delivery partners - assigning work, reviewing deliverables, and holding partners accountable for quality and schedule without formal supervisory authority over them

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience transitioning on-prem Oracle EBS to a cloud-hosted model on OCI or Azure
• Experience with DELMIA Velocity or comparable MES platforms
• Prior experience consolidating or migrating ERP systems off a shared or inherited (carve-out/divestiture) environment
• Aerospace, defense, or complex discrete manufacturing background
• Oracle EBS or Costpoint certifications
