Senior Architect, Solution Architecture

About the Role

• Responsible technical authority for manufacturing planning and supply chain solutions.
• Define and produce detailed solution architecture artefacts (e.g., HLD, LLD, integration specifications) for manufacturing technology implementations, including ERP, MES, and APS, aligned with business transformation roadmaps and enterprise architecture blueprints.
• Ensure solution designs are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with long-term digital manufacturing strategy.

Architecture Governance & Clean Core

• Act as a guardian of clean core principles, ensuring all solutions minimize custom development, protect standard ERP, MES, and APS processes, and maintain system upgrade integrity.
• Participate in architecture review boards, design authority forum and cross-solution architect forums to ensure alignment of design decisions across the program landscape.
• Ensure all solution decisions are traceable to enterprise architecture principles and documented business requirements.
• Maintain and govern an architectural decision log capturing key design choices, rationale, constraints, and approved deviations.

Business & Stakeholder Alignment

• Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture, business stakeholders and process owners to translate business needs into effective solution designs.
• Support the development of business cases for new IT and digital investments by providing architectural guidance and feasibility assessments.
• Maintain clear and timely communication with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle to ensure alignment on requirements, solution impact, and delivery expectations.

Manufacturing Solution & Platform Enablement

• Support the effective adoption and optimization of the manufacturing solution landscape, including ERP (Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, S/4HANA), APS (Delmia Quintiq), Long term planning (O9) and MES (SAP Digital Manufacturing).
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of core manufacturing technology capabilities and solution architecture practices.

IT/OT Integration & Industrial Data Architecture

• Design scalable and secure industrial data pipelines from shopfloor systems to enterprise platforms.
• Design real-time and event-driven data architectures supporting shopfloor visibility, monitoring, and analytics (e.g., streaming pipelines, event hubs, Kafka).

Standardization & Multi-Site Scalability

• Define reusable architecture patterns, templates, and data models to enable scalable rollouts across multiple factories.
• Ensure consistency in integration approaches, connectivity frameworks, and data standards across locations.

Qualifications

• At least 10 years of experience in enterprise or solution architecture, with a proven track record in enterprise software integration and large-scale system implementations.
• Experience in manufacturing technology environments (ERP, MES, APS, or industrial IT/OT landscapes) is a plus.
• A proven change leader with experience driving large-scale digital transformation and technology adoption across complex organizations.
• A natural collaborator who builds strong relationships across IT, business, and operations teams, and enjoys exploring new ideas and approaches.
• A confident communicator and presenter, comfortable engaging senior stakeholders and multiple business units to align on architecture and technology direction.
• Fluent in both Thai and English with the ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both business and technical audiences.

Benefits

• Learning and development programmes.
• Transportation services to BTS station and other community areas.
