Sap Qm Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced SAP PP/QM Consultant to support a manufacturing technology initiative for our client, Quantumscape, a leading developer of next-generation solid-state battery technology based in California. This role will focus on configuring, supporting, and optimizing SAP Production Planning (PP) and Quality Management (QM) modules to support advanced manufacturing, pilot line, and scale-up production processes in a high-growth, innovation-driven environment.
The ideal candidate has strong hands-on SAP PP/QM experience within discrete or process manufacturing, ideally in battery, semiconductor, automotive, or advanced materials industries, and is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment supporting new product introduction and production ramp-up.
Key Responsibilities
• Gather business requirements and translate them into SAP PP and QM configuration and solution design.
• Configure and support core PP functions: material master (MRP views), BOMs, work centers/resources, routings, production versions, MRP, capacity planning, production orders, and repetitive/process manufacturing.
• Configure and support QM functions: inspection plans, inspection lots, quality notifications, sampling procedures, results recording, certificates of analysis, and integration with PP/MM/SD.
• Support integration of PP/QM with MM, SD, PM, and shop floor/MES systems (e.g., Werum, Camstar, or custom MES) relevant to battery cell/module manufacturing.
• Partner with manufacturing, quality, and engineering teams to design solutions supporting pilot line and gigafactory-scale production.
• Lead or support end-to-end testing (unit, integration, UAT), cutover activities, and post-go-live stabilization.
• Develop functional specifications for custom developments, reports, interfaces, and enhancements (working with ABAP developers as needed).
• Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective configuration or process changes.
• Support master data governance for materials, BOMs, and routings in a rapidly evolving manufacturing environment.
• Create and maintain documentation: functional specs, test scripts, training materials, and SOPs.
• Provide end-user training and support for production planners, quality engineers, and shop floor personnel.
• Stay current with the SAP roadmap (S/4HANA) and recommend process improvements aligned with best practices.
Required Qualifications
• 12+ years of hands-on SAP PP and QM configuration experience, including at least 2 full-cycle implementations.
• Strong understanding of discrete and/or process manufacturing processes; experience in battery, semiconductor, electronics, or automotive manufacturing strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in SAP PP: MRP, capacity planning, BOM/routing management, production orders, and repetitive manufacturing.
• Proficiency in SAP QM: inspection planning, quality notifications, in-process/incoming/outgoing inspection, and sampling procedures.
• Experience integrating PP/QM with MM, SD, and MES/shop floor systems.
• Solid understanding of SAP S/4HANA (preferred) or ECC PP/QM.
• Ability to write functional specifications and collaborate effectively with technical (ABAP) teams.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience working directly with manufacturing and quality stakeholders in a plant/production environment.
• Bachelor''s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
Preferred Qualifications
• SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing certification.
• Experience with battery cell/module/pack manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud (DMC), MES integration, or Manufacturing Execution Systems.
• Experience with SAP QM in regulated or highly quality-controlled environments (automotive, aerospace, energy storage).
• Knowledge of SAP PP-PI (Process Industries) for chemical/materials processes.
• Experience supporting new product introduction (NPI) and production scale-up.
