Collaborate with IT developers and ERP specialists to integrate EDI workflows with ERPs like Oracle, ensuring data integrity across the transactions.
Oversee the creation and maintenance of complex EDI maps (X12, EDIFACT) and translation rules to meet diverse partner requirements.
Conduct thorough analysis of existing EDI processes to identify latencies or manual touchpoints, implementing automated solutions to improve operational efficiency.
Lead the development of comprehensive test plans and coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT) for all new partner integrations or system upgrades.
Provide Tier 3 technical support for EDI failures and mentor junior analysts/developers on EDI best practices and standards.
Personal Characteristics
Exceptional ability to troubleshoot complex integration failures and design long-term architectural fixes rather than temporary patches.

Proven track record of building trusting relationships with cross-functional teams, including Supply Chain, Finance, and IT.
Ability to work with a high degree of accuracy, specifically regarding data mapping and compliance with global messaging standards.

Comfortable working in a fast-paced EMS environment with shifting priorities and diverse customer requirements.

Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering, or equivalent experience in related field.
5+ years of experience in EDI architecture and development.
Extensive hands-on experience with Oracle EDI/E-Business Suite and Cleo (CIC) is preferred.
Deep knowledge of EDI standards (ANSI X12, EDIFACT) and communication protocols (AS2, FTP/S, API).
Prior experience in the EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) or High-Tech Manufacturing industry is a must.
