NTT DATA is hiring a Digital Solutions Architect to join our inclusive, adaptable, and forward-thinking organization. In this role, you will function as a Manufacturing & Supply Chain Domain Architect, designing end-to-end AI-native process architectures that modernize legacy industrial operations into intelligent, autonomous, agent-driven ecosystems.
What You'll Do
- Lead domain architecture for Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain Planning, Procurement, Logistics, Distribution, and Aftermarket Services.
- Architect future-state processes using AI agents across areas such as production planning, inventory optimization, supplier management, quality management, warehouse operations, and shop-floor automation.
- Translate domain regulations, safety constraints, and operational requirements into scalable AI-driven workflows.
- Design modular BPS/BPaaS solutions leveraging agentic platforms, autonomous planning engines, and decision-support systems.
- Collaborate with ontology, ML, and engineering teams to define data models, event structures, and operational ontologies for manufacturing and supply chain use cases.
- Create reusable domain patterns and accelerators for faster transformation across industrial clients.
- Conduct deep discovery of client operations, supply chain flows, plant processes, and manufacturing KPIs.
- Present architectural designs, transformation plans, and AI-driven value cases to C-level leaders.
- Guide clients through AI-native adoption, including change management, operational governance, and automation strategy.
- Align industry priorities—resiliency, cost efficiency, sustainability—with platform capabilities and transformation roadmaps.
- Shape long-term modernization strategies grounded in digital twins, predictive intelligence, autonomous operations, and Industry 4.0/5.0 principles.
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of experience in Manufacturing or Supply Chain, ideally with domain architecture or process transformation experience.
- Deep understanding of manufacturing and logistics operations, including production lifecycle, procurement, inventory, planning, order management, and quality/process control.
- Demonstrated experience designing target operating models or orchestrating digital transformation in manufacturing or supply chain environments.
- Strong understanding of automation strategies, digital supply chain, Industry 4.0 technologies, and BPaaS models.
- Familiarity with AI/ML concepts, LLMs, agent orchestration, or predictive analytics.
- Strong client-facing communication skills, with the ability to simplify complexity and influence senior executives.
- Ability to work across multifunctional teams including engineering, product, data science, and operations leadership.
Nice to Have
- Experience with major manufacturing or supply chain platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP IBP, Oracle SCM, Infor, Manhattan, Blue Yonder, Siemens, PTC, or Dassault.
- Understanding of plant-floor technologies like MES, SCADA, IoT platforms and industrial data models.
- Knowledge of sustainability, ESG reporting, circular supply chain principles, or regulatory frameworks in manufacturing.
- Exposure to digital twin architectures, predictive maintenance models, or advanced planning systems.
