Position Summary

Vertiv seeks a Manager / Senior Leader of Manufacturing Process Design to act as the lead architect of production ecosystems. In this role, you will facilitate the "Virtual-to-Physical" transition of our Power and Thermal products, serving as the primary bridge between R&D and the shop floor. By integrating Full‑Line Balancing with high‑fidelity Discrete Event Simulation (DES), you will mathematically optimize manufacturing lines for maximum efficiency before production begins, driving a "Right First Time" global launch strategy.

Responsibilities

• Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) by integrating manufacturing constraints, plant capabilities, and automation requirements into product design early.
• Drive operational excellence through Yamazumi modeling, balancing processes to Takt time and neutralizing bottlenecks to maximize throughput.
• Develop DES models from Yamazumi data, capturing MTBF, MTTR, and cycle times to stress‑test production environments and validate throughput targets.
• Lead DFM/DFA reviews, acting as gatekeeper for manufacturability and reducing engineering change orders.
• Use simulation for virtual commissioning, validating line layouts, and selecting manufacturing equipment (IQ/OQ/PQ).
• Root‑cause analyze production issues using FMEA and Six Sigma, integrating real‑time plant data for continuous optimization.
• Coordinate between global design centers and local plant operations, ensuring a seamless handoff across the full lifecycle.
• Manage and mentor a team of engineers, promoting best practices in Yamazumi, DFM/DFA, and advanced manufacturing technologies.

Skills

• Expert in Discrete Event Simulation modeling and interpretation.
• Mastery of Takt time analysis, work‑content graphing, and Yamazumi balancing.
• Strong executive communication, presenting complex data to senior leadership.
• System integration experience with ERP (SAP) and MES environments.
• Professional fluency in English and Spanish.

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Systems Engineering, Operations Research, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• Preferred Master’s in Industrial & Systems Engineering or Data Analytics.
• 15+ years in manufacturing process design for power products (UPS, DC power systems, or similar), with leadership or project management experience.
• Proven record of applying DFM/DFA and high‑fidelity simulation to reduce costs and improve reliability in high‑volume, international environments.
• Expertise in CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and simulation tools (FlexSim, Arena, Simio, AnyLogic); proficiency in Power BI/Tableau.
• Lean manufacturing experience: Yamazumi modeling, Kaizen, waste elimination.
• Preferred Six Sigma Black Belt, Lean Manufacturing Certification, or Professional Engineering license.
