Long Term

Position Overview

The SAP PLMSI Developer is responsible for designing, developing, configuring, and maintaining the integration between external Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems and SAP S/4HANA using the SAP Product Lifecycle Management System Integration (PLMSI) framework.

In this role, you will play a critical part in our digital thread initiative, ensuring that engineering data (EBOMs, 3D models, attributes) flows seamlessly from PLM into SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing, specifically feeding into Production Engineering and Operations (PEO) and Manufacturing Logistics Execution (MLE) . You will collaborate closely with PLM engineers, SAP functional analysts, and business stakeholders to build robust, automated data pipelines that eliminate manual data entry and reduce time-to-market.

Key Responsibilities

1. PLMSI Configuration & Development

• Configure and customize the SAP PLMSI framework to map, transform, and transfer engineering data from external PLM systems into SAP S/4HANA.
• Develop and maintain integration logic, mapping rules, and data transformation schemas using SAP PLMSI standard tools and APIs.
• Implement custom business logic, BAdIs, and user exits within the PLMSI framework to handle complex, customer-specific data structures.

2. Engineering-to-Manufacturing Integration (PEO & MLE)

• Ensure seamless transfer of Engineering Bills of Materials (EBOMs) from PLM to SAP, enabling the smooth creation of Manufacturing Bills of Materials (MBOMs) and production routings within SAP PEO.
• Align PLM data structures with SAP master data requirements (Material Masters, Document Info Records, Change Masters, and Work Centers).
• Support the integration of engineering changes (Engineering Change Management - ECM) to ensure shop-floor logistics and manufacturing execution (MLE) are always working with the latest approved designs.

3. Technical Interface Management

• Design, develop, and monitor interfaces using SAP Integration Suite (Cloud Integration/CPI), SAP Gateway (OData services), IDocs, and REST/SOAP APIs.
• Collaborate with external PLM technical teams (e.g., Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill) to align on interface contracts, payloads, and communication protocols.
• Troubleshoot, debug, and resolve interface errors, data mismatches, and performance bottlenecks in the integration pipeline.

4. Testing, Documentation, and Support

• Create detailed technical design specifications, data mapping documents, and architecture diagrams.
• Develop comprehensive test cases and execute Unit Testing, System Integration Testing (SIT), and support User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
• Provide hypercare and ongoing tier-3 technical support for the PLMSI integration, identifying root causes of data transmission failures and implementing permanent fixes.

Required Qualifications & Skills

Experience

• Hands-on development experience within the SAP ecosystem, with a strong focus on SAP PLM or PLM-ERP integration.
• Direct experience configuring and developing with the SAP PLMSI (Product Lifecycle Management System Integration) framework.
