Designs and delivers technical solutions, creates detailed solution designs, specific integration points, and selects appropriate tools and frameworks. Collaboration with developers and engineers to implement solutions, conducts technical reviews and resolves design challenges.
Documents architectures, provides technical guidance during development, and ensures solutions adhere to performance, security, and interoperability requirements. Prototypes new approaches and evaluates emerging technologies for project suitability.
Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for business partners across Manufacturing, Production Planning, Quality, and Engineering on process design and system capability questions.
Act as the lead advocate for Manufacturing and Quality stakeholders in all ERP, MES, QMS, and PLM-related discussions, ensuring their operational needs, constraints, and priorities are represented in solution design.
Become the go-to resource for any proposed Manufacturing or Quality process change, evaluating impact, feasibility, and fit within the Oracle Fusion ERP data model and integration landscape before implementation.
Translate business requirements into scalable solution designs that balance standard Oracle Fusion functionality against configuration, extension, or integration needs.
Maintain a working command of adjacent end-to-end flows (Order-to-Cash, Procure-to-Pay) to ensure Manufacturing, MRP, MES, and QMS designs do not create downstream conflicts or gaps.
Hands-On Configuration & Delivery
Directly configure Oracle Fusion Manufacturing, Supply Chain Planning/MRP, Work Definitions, Quality Inspections, and related modules for medium-sized projects, enhancements, and break/fix work.
Build, test, and deploy configuration changes, including setup of Fusion functional areas, security, workflows, approval rules, and data structures related to manufacturing and planning processes.
Author functional design documents, configuration workbooks, test scripts, and process/procedure documentation to support changes made in the environment.
12+ years of progressive experience in enterprise ERP systems, with significant depth in MRP/Supply Chain Planning, MES, and QMS functions.
Hands-on experience configuring Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP (Manufacturing and Planning pillars); comfortable working directly in the application, not solely at a requirements level.
Experience across multiple full-lifecycle ERP implementations (Oracle Fusion required; prior experience with Oracle EBS, SAP, or other major ERP platforms is a plus).
Direct, hands-on experience with at least one MES platform and one QMS platform, including their integration into an ERP environment.
Working knowledge of Order-to-Cash and Procure-to-Pay processes and how they interact with Manufacturing, MRP, and quality operations.
Demonstrated experience acting as a functional/solution architect — able to design solutions independently, not just execute configuration tasks handed down by others.
Experience partnering with or managing systems integrators/implementation partners on complex delivery efforts.
Strong business partnering and stakeholder management skills; comfortable being the primary escalation point for Manufacturing and Quality process questions.
Working understanding of integration concepts and experience partnering on ERP-to-MES/QMS/PLM system integrations.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience producing functional design documents, process documentation, and executive-level updates.
Direct experience owning or integrating PLM (Teamcenter) with Oracle Fusion Manufacturing/Engineering data.
Experience in aerospace, defense, or other regulated/complex discrete manufacturing environments.
Familiarity with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) or similar middleware/integration platforms.
Oracle Fusion certifications in Manufacturing, Supply Chain Planning, or Quality.
Experience operating in environments with export control, ITAR/CUI, or other regulated data-handling requirements.
AI & Agentic Automation Capabilities:
Shield AI is investing in Agentic AI to accelerate and automate manufacturing and quality operations. This role is expected to actively identify, design, and help implement AI-driven automation across Manufacturing, MRP, MES, and QMS — not simply consume AI tools built by others.
