Details
Alamo Group is seeking a Lead JDE Developer / ERP Solutions Architect to provide hands-on technical leadership for our JD Edwards EnterpriseOne environment and the broader enterprise systems that support our manufacturing operations.
This role combines deep JD Edwards development expertise with solution architecture responsibilities. You will design, develop, integrate, and support JDE solutions while partnering with Enterprise Architecture, business stakeholders, functional teams, and technology partners to define scalable, supportable solutions across manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, procurement, finance, logistics, CRM, e-commerce, reporting, and connected business platforms.
The ideal candidate is an experienced JD Edwards developer who can operate at an architectural level - someone who understands how business processes, applications, integrations, data, and infrastructure work together while remaining comfortable developing, troubleshooting, and supporting solutions directly within JDE.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role with a strong focus on JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, manufacturing operations, MRP, integration architecture, solution design, and long-term ERP modernization.
What You’ll Do
- Serve as a technical lead and solution architect for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne development, enhancements, integrations, upgrades, and modernization initiatives.
- Design, develop, test, deploy, troubleshoot, and support JDE applications, UBEs, reports, business functions, workflows, orchestrations, interfaces, integrations, and other custom or extended functionality.
- Use JD Edwards development technologies and tools such as OMW, FDA, RDA, TDA, NER, BSFN, UBE, Table Conversions, Business Views, Orchestrator, BSSV, AIS, BI Publisher, UDOs, and related EnterpriseOne capabilities as appropriate.
- Translate complex business and functional requirements into technical architecture, solution designs, development specifications, estimates, and maintainable deliverables.
- Provide technical leadership for JDE Manufacturing and Distribution processes, including MRP, work orders, bills of material, routings, production planning, shop-floor execution, inventory, procurement, product costing, order management, and related supply-chain processes.
- Evaluate business requirements and determine when to use standard JDE functionality, configuration, customization, Orchestrator, integration, automation, reporting, or business-process changes.
- Design and support integrations between JD Edwards and connected enterprise platforms using APIs, REST/SOAP web services, BSSV, AIS, middleware, EDI, ETL, file-based integrations, cloud services, and other approved integration patterns.
- Lead technical design reviews and help establish development, integration, documentation, testing, deployment, and support standards for JDE and related enterprise applications.
- Partner with Enterprise Architecture, functional owners, business analysts, developers, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data teams, vendors, and operating-company stakeholders to ensure solutions align with business and technology standards.
- Analyze complex application, data, interface, batch-processing, performance, and production issues and lead technical troubleshooting through root-cause resolution.
- Support JDE upgrades, retrofits, ESUs, application changes, integrations, data conversions, testing, cutover planning, deployment, and post-production stabilization.
- Create and maintain architecture and technical documentation including system context diagrams, interface maps, data flows, technical specifications, application dependencies, process views, configuration documentation, and support procedures.
- Identify opportunities to reduce customization, improve system maintainability, strengthen integrations, automate manual processes, improve data visibility, and simplify the enterprise application landscape.
- Contribute to longer-term ERP modernization and platform strategy by documenting current-state JDE processes, applications, integrations, dependencies, and technical debt to support future technology decisions.
What You Bring
- Significant hands-on experience developing, enhancing, troubleshooting, and supporting JD Edwards EnterpriseOne in a manufacturing, distribution, or industrial environment.
- Strong working knowledge of JD Edwards development tools and technologies such as OMW, FDA, RDA, TDA, UBEs, NERs, BSFNs, Table Conversions, Business Views, Orchestrator, BSSV, AIS, BI Publisher, UDOs, and related E1 functionality.
- Demonstrated experience designing and developing JDE applications, reports, interfaces, integrations, batch processes, workflows, or custom solutions.
- Strong functional understanding of manufacturing and supply-chain processes, including MRP, bills of material, routings, work orders, production planning, shop-floor execution, inventory, procurement, order management, and product costing.
- Experience designing solutions that span JD Edwards and external enterprise applications.
- Experience with enterprise integration technologies including APIs, REST/SOAP web services, middleware, EDI, ETL, file-based interfaces, cloud integration, and related integration patterns.
- Strong relational database and SQL skills, with an understanding of JDE data structures, tables, business views, batch processing, interfaces, and reporting.
- Experience gathering technical requirements, conducting solution-design discussions, preparing technical specifications, estimating development effort, and supporting testing and implementation.
- Ability to troubleshoot complex issues across applications, integrations, data, batch processes, reporting, infrastructure dependencies, and business workflows.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to business users, plant teams, IT partners, vendors, and leadership.
- Ability to balance hands-on development responsibilities with solution architecture, technical leadership, production support, and project delivery.
What Sets You Apart

- Strong experience with JDE Orchestrator, BSSV, AIS, APIs, web services, EDI, middleware, or other enterprise integration technologies.
- Experience leading JDE upgrades, retrofits, development standards, code reviews, application rationalization, or technical modernization initiatives.
- Experience working in a multi-site or diversified manufacturing environment.
- Experience creating current-state and future-state application architecture, integration maps, data flows, technical roadmaps, and system documentation.
- Ability to evaluate whether a business requirement should be addressed through standard JDE functionality, configuration, customization, integration, automation, reporting, or process redesign.

- Exposure to connected enterprise technologies such as Microsoft Azure, Power BI, Salesforce, RFSmart, ReportsNow, SAP Concur, Vertex, EPM platforms, engineering systems, e-commerce platforms, dealer/customer portals, or other manufacturing business applications.
