ERP Custom Enhancement: 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.
Performance Tuning: Troubleshoot, profile, and optimize complex ABAP code and S/4HANA database queries to handle high-volume, real-time data transmissions without latency.
A&D Regulatory Adherence: Ensure all custom code, BTP applications, and data structures strictly comply with defense-specific compliance mandates, including ITAR data segregation and secure cloud standards.
Technical Collaboration: 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.
Technical Qualifications
ABAP on ECC & S/4HANA migration Expertise: 8–12+ years of advanced SAP ABAP programming experience, with minimum 1-2 projects (3+ years) of hands-on experience migrating & developing natively inside an SAP S/4HANA environment.
SAP BTP Proficiency: Practical experience with SAP BTP services (such as SAP Integration Suite, Extension Suite, or BTP ABAP Environment) to develop side-by-side or decoupled extensions.
Modern SAP Development Stack: Deep expertise in building CDS Views, OData services, AMDP, and applying SAP's "Clean Core" development principles.
Manufacturing Module Knowledge: Deep technical understanding of the underlying database tables and logic inside S/4HANA PP (Production Planning), QM (Quality Management), and MM (Materials Management).
Shop-Floor Context: Prior experience developing code specifically designed to interact with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) or SAP MII/ME layers (excluding SCADA).
