Shield AI is seeking a senior Solutions Architect – Manufacturing to serve as the functional and technical authority for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP across Manufacturing, MRP/Supply Chain Planning, and the shop-floor-to-ERP technology stack. This role owns the design, configuration, and continuous improvement of Oracle Fusion Manufacturing and MRP capabilities, with deep, hands-on strength in MES, QMS, and PLM — ensuring plan, build, and quality processes operate as one coherent, well-architected system.

This is a hands-on, business-facing role. The Solutions Architect is expected to be the trusted advisor and go-to resource for Manufacturing and Quality business partners on any process change involving Oracle Fusion Manufacturing/Planning or the MES, QMS, and PLM bolt-on applications — translating business need into a scalable, well-architected solution, and then configuring and implementing that solution directly for medium-complexity projects. For large, complex initiatives, this person leads solution design and partners with Shield AI’s implementation partner to deliver, while remaining the accountable architect and voice of the business throughout.

Beyond core ERP, this role holds full ownership of Shield AI’s manufacturing-adjacent bolt-on application landscape — including MES, QMS, and PLM (Teamcenter) — and is responsible for how those systems integrate with Oracle Fusion ERP to form a coherent plan-to-build-to-quality operating model. This role partners closely with the other Solutions Architects for Supply Chain and Finance on shared MRP/planning signals, supplier quality matters tied to Procure-to-Pay and end-to-end integration with Finance/Accounting.

What you'll do:

Solution Architecture & Business Partnership

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.

For large or highly complex initiatives, define solution architecture and requirements, then partner closely with the implementation partner to execute — remaining accountable for solution quality, business fit, and knowledge transfer.

Participate in and help lead workshops, fit-gap sessions, and design reviews with Manufacturing and Quality stakeholders and implementation partner teams.

MRP, MES & QMS Ownership

Own MRP and Supply Chain Planning configuration — planning parameters, supply/demand netting, exception messages, and planner workbench — ensuring plans translate cleanly into executable work orders.

Own the functional roadmap, configuration governance, and business alignment for:

– MES (Manufacturing Execution System) — work order execution, shop-floor data collection, routing/operation tracking

– QMS (Quality Management System) — inspections, non-conformance, corrective/preventive action (CAPA), supplier quality

– PLM – Teamcenter — engineering BOM, item master, and change management integration with Oracle Fusion

Ensure MES, QMS, and PLM remain architecturally aligned with Oracle Fusion Manufacturing and MRP, avoiding duplicate data ownership, conflicting BOM/routing data, or process gaps across systems.

Define and maintain the target integration model between MES, QMS, PLM, and Oracle Fusion ERP, including engineering-to-manufacturing BOM transfer and quality event-to-ERP disposition flows.

Partner with the Solutions Architect – Supply Chain on supplier-quality data flowing from Procure-to-Pay into QMS-driven supplier corrective action processes.

Integrations

Design and help implement integrations between Oracle Fusion ERP and MES, QMS, and PLM (Teamcenter), including BOM/routing sync, work order status, and quality disposition data.

Define integration requirements, data mappings, and error-handling/reconciliation approaches in partnership with technical/integration teams.

Evaluate integration patterns (API, middleware, file-based) and recommend approaches appropriate to data volume, latency, and criticality, particularly for shop-floor/real-time data.

Support testing, cutover, and hypercare activities for integration-related changes.
