Principal Enterprise Applications Engineer

The Principal Enterprise Application Engineer leads the technical delivery of XTG's ERP modernization strategy, consolidating four legacy ERP platforms into a single global Dynamics 365 environment while establishing a scalable data and integration foundation. This role bridges architecture and execution by validating solution designs, solving complex technical challenges, and ensuring enterprise platforms are secure, scalable, and aligned with long-term business objectives.

As a hands-on principal engineer, this position is responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing enterprise solutions across Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, Power Platform, Azure, and integration technologies. The role combines deep technical expertise with senior-level leadership, setting development standards, mentoring engineers, influencing technical direction, and delivering high-quality solutions that support global business operations.

The Exponential Technology Group (XTG) is a specialist in the electronic component distribution and design engineering services industries.  XTG is part of the TTI Family of Companies.  This is a remote position with the ideal candidate located in the DFW market. 

ACCOUNTABILITIES

Own the technical delivery of the Dynamics 365 industry business processes.  You will turn those processes into working, supportable F&O configuration and code and support their roll out globally across legal entities, regions, and go-live waves.

Own Power Platform programs end to end.  Design and build across Dataverse, model-driven and canvas apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, and custom connectors.  Build reusable assets that compound shared component libraries, PCF controls, custom connectors, and solution patterns other developers and partners inherit rather than reinvent.

Work across F&O, Project Operations (Integrated with ERP deployment), and Sales-including where the seams between them leak: project actuals, integration journals, and revenue recognition.  Also understand the licensing and entitlement consequences of design choices before they reach procurement, not after.

Design, build, and operate production AI agents using Copilot Studio, Azure AI Foundry, and Dataverse-native AI capabilities.

Act as the senior technical partner to the Global Architecture team, validating solution designs, identifying implementation risks, mentoring XTG engineers toward expert-class capability in F&O and Power Platform and leading complex technical initiatives from design through production deployment.
