Senior SAP BASIS Admin, A & D for MII & ME

Responsibilities

• Administer, upgrade, and maintain the existing global SAP MII, SAP ME (NetWeaver Java stacks), and core ERP (ECC and S/4HANA) infrastructure.
• Lead the BASIS-side execution of migrating from ECC to S/4HANA, including the setup, configuration, and security routing of SAP BTP Cloud Connectors.
• Configure and maintain high-volume, real-time middleware connectivity (RFC destinations, ALE/IDoc ports, OData gateway configurations) linking the ERP core to the shop‑floor MII/ME layers (excluding SCADA).
• Monitor and optimize memory management, database performance (SAP HANA and SQL Server), work processes, and JVM settings to eliminate latency in manufacturing data transfers.
• Implement strict security hardening, encryption protocols, and user authorization controls across all layers to comply with A&D standards (ITAR, EAR, NIST, and data residency laws between the US and Mexico).
• Partner closely with the Principal MII/ME Architect and Senior ABAP Developer to deploy custom transport requests, provision cloud environments, and troubleshoot infrastructure bottlenecks.

Requirements

• 10–15+ years of core SAP BASIS administration experience, with specific expertise managing both ABAP and NetWeaver Java stacks (required for SAP MII/ME).
• Proven track record supporting at least one major ECC-to-S/4HANA migration project, alongside expert-level SAP HANA database administration skills.
• Hands‑on experience setting up and administering SAP BTP environments, managing subaccounts, and configuring secure Cloud Connectors for hybrid landscapes.
• Prior experience supporting highly critical, 24/7 manufacturing landscapes where system downtime immediately impacts plant‑floor operations.
• Deep knowledge of STMS (SAP Transport Management System), ChaRM, and deploying transport configurations across complex, multi‑tiered global development tracks.
• Exceptional troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills under high‑pressure, zero‑downtime manufacturing conditions.
• Strong communication skills to manage technical updates across global teams in the US and Mexico.
• US Citizenship and/or GC restrictions apply and some security clearances may be required.
• Aerospace and Defense expertise preferred and SAP Certification are always a plus.
