10+ years of experience in enterprise applications, systems integration, solution architecture, or related technical roles.
Significant experience architecting and delivering integrations involving PLM platforms and downstream enterprise systems.
Demonstrated experience leading multiple development or integration teams across complex transformation programs.
Strong understanding of enterprise integration architecture and API-led, event-driven, real-time, batch, and message-based integration patterns.
Experience with middleware/integration platforms such as Boomi and with integrations spanning APIs, databases, files, and messaging technologies.
Strong knowledge of REST/SOAP services, JSON, XML, data transformation, interface design, and system-to-system data mapping.
Experience coordinating integrations between PLM and enterprise applications such as ERP, WMS, supply chain, product/master-data, eCommerce, or other downstream platforms.
Proven ability to conduct architecture and technical design reviews and make decisions involving scalability, reliability, security, maintainability, and performance.
Experience overseeing the full integration development lifecycle, including requirements, design, build, testing, deployment, cutover, and production support.
Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills with the ability to align technical and non-technical teams.
