100% Remote Senior SAP PP/DS Solution Architect
About The Position
The role requires strong, hands-on SAP Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PP/DS) experience, specifically with SAP S/4HANA Advanced Planning. The client uses DSC Edition PP/DS, though genuine PP/DS experience with either DSC Edition or embedded PP/DS is acceptable.

The successful candidate will implement and work hands-on with production planning solutions, including detailed capacity planning, scheduling, heuristics, and production-order optimization. Experience implementing SAP ePP/DS in automotive or discrete manufacturing is required. The position involves working in an onshore/offshore model, translating customer business needs into solution definitions and designs, and communicating and coordinating work effectively with offshore teams.

- PP/DS BAdI enhancement experience.
- In-depth experience with SAP Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling capabilities, including interactive production planning, detailed scheduling, pegging, production planning tables, planning boards, constraint-based planning, model mix planning, multilevel scheduling, and sequencing.
- Experience implementing SAP ePP/DS production planning solutions in automotive or another discrete manufacturing industry.
- Experience with cross-location planning, automated responses to planning changes, multilevel constraint-based production plans, sub-daily buckets, telescopic time buckets, and time-dependent safety stock.
