3D Configurator Engineering
● Configurator ownership — Own end-to-end development of interactive 3D web configurators built on the Drive Commerce plugin-based JavaScript / WebGL framework (Three.js and / or Babylon.js).
● Performance — Deliver responsive, performant experiences across mobile and desktop against defined performance budgets for load time, frame rate and memory.
● Stability — Diagnose and resolve rendering, texture and canvas issues, including browser memory leaks and WebGL context loss.
● Technical leadership — Lead architecture, code review and feature delivery for real-time product personalization.
Configuration-to-Order Integration (core to this role)
● Recipe → SAP — Design and maintain the mapping from a customer’s 3D “recipe” to a valid, orderable outcome in SAP S/4HANA — resolving each configuration to the correct material / SKU, Bill of Materials and price, using SAP variant configuration / configurable materials and made-to-order flows as applicable.
● Master-data sync — Keep the configurator’s variant / option matrix in sync with master data governed in Centric PLM and Precisely EnterWorks, so options, prices and availability stay accurate.
● End-to-end flow — Build and maintain integrations across the commerce platform, middleware (webMethods / APIs), OMS and fulfillment (Manhattan), delivering accurate build sheets, pick lists and BOMs to manufacturing.
● Availability logic — Implement made-to-order availability and lead-time logic in the configuration experience (finished-product availability and lead times, not raw-material inventory).
● Data contracts — Establish stable data contracts (JSON payloads, catalog indexes, option and price models) between the front end and back-end systems.
● Accuracy — Ensure price and SKU accuracy end to end, so the configured price and product match what is ordered, invoiced and manufactured.
● Color fidelity — Implement ICC-based color management so on-screen color matches the manufactured product across materials, thread, print and engraving.
● Moderation — Implement personalization safeguards — profanity and trademark / brand moderation on custom text and uploaded logos.
Asset & Pipeline Collaboration
● Asset workflows — Partner with 3D design / asset teams (internal or agency) to translate high-fidelity CAD / mesh assets into optimized web assets, communicating payload, texture and performance constraints. Deep 3D artistry and shader authoring are a plus, not the primary function of this role.
● Versioning — Maintain versioned asset and configuration pipelines with clear release control.
Quality, Performance & Support
● Metrics — Define and monitor performance and quality metrics (Core Web Vitals, frame rate, error rates, uptime) and act on regressions.
● Accessibility — Ensure configurator experiences meet accessibility standards (WCAG 2.x).
● Reusability — Drive reusability through modular components, presets and templates; support documentation, onboarding and engineering standards.
