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 integral 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.
