· Define integration architecture for SAP, Polarion, migration utilities, identity/access services, reporting, and other engineering ecosystem components.
· Review migration design to ensure correct handling of metadata, revisions, structures, file relationships, lifecycle states, ownership, and traceability.
· Lead architecture reviews, design walkthroughs, technical risk assessments, and decision documentation across delivery teams and suppliers.
· Partner with infrastructure and support leads on sizing, performance, availability, monitoring, disaster recovery, environment strategy, and deployment topology.
· Guide prototyping, proofs of concept, internal demos, and customer demonstrations for complex or high-risk capabilities.
· Mentor technical leads and developers, resolve design disputes, and provide escalation support for critical technical issues.
· Ensure alignment with program scope, validated requirements, security standards, enterprise architecture, and long-term PLM roadmap.
