Overview

We are seeking a SAP CPQ Architect to support digital transformation blueprint efforts for a leading semiconductor company. This role will shape the future-state quoting and configuration architecture across sales and services organizations.

Key Responsibilities

• Solution Architecture: Define target-state CPQ architecture that integrates with SAP S/4HANA, Siemens Team Center PLM, and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.
• Configuration Modeling: Design guided selling flows to replace tribal-knowledge-dependent variant configuration targeting 75-80% reduction in manual effort.
• Integration Design: Architect the CPQ-to-PLM integration pathway, potentially through an intermediate S/4 layer given Team Center's current limitations with complex models.
• Multi-Channel Quoting: Support architecture for both commercial quotes (multi-million dollar configured systems) and transactional quotes (spares, non-configurable upgrades, service products).
• Blueprint Contribution: Deliver L4-L6 future-state process designs and system requirements for CPQ-related workflows.
• Vendor Evaluation Support: Inform platform selection criteria and RFP development for CPQ tooling.

Required Experience

• 5+ years architecting or implementing SAP CPQ (or comparable enterprise CPQ: Salesforce CPQ, Oracle CPQ, Conga).
• Deep understanding of detailed configuration concepts (SAP VC/AVC migration paths).
• Hands-on experience with PLM-to-CPQ integration (BOM synchronization, engineering change propagation).
• Familiarity with SAP S/4HANA order management and sales processes.
• Experience in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing environments (semiconductor, aerospace, or industrial equipment preferred).

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior work with Siemens Team Center or similar PLM platforms.
• Experience designing non-standard request workflows within CPQ.
• Understanding of pricing governance models (regional harmonization, contract-based pricing, proration).
• Exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM integration patterns.
• Background in semiconductor capital equipment or similar complex configured products.
