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.

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.
