* Vertiv is seeking a Manager / Senior Leader of Manufacturing Process Design
to act as the lead architect of our production ecosystems. In this role, you
will be responsible for 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 ensure that our manufacturing lines are
mathematically optimized for maximum efficiency long before the start of
production. This role requires a blend of deep industrial engineering
expertise, leadership acumen, and advanced data modeling to drive a "Right
First Time" global launch strategy.
> RESPONSIBILITIES
* Up-Front Design Integration: Lead the New Product Introduction (NPI) process
by collaborating with R&D; at the earliest design stages. Ensure manufacturing
constraints, plant capabilities, and automation requirements are integrated
into the product DNA before design freeze.
* Synchronized Process Design & Bottleneck Neutralization:
Drive operational
excellence through rigorous Yamazumi modeling, ensuring all manufacturing
processes are perfectly balanced to Takt time. By neutralizing bottlenecks
and bridging disconnected "islands of automation," you will create a
seamless, synchronized flow that eliminates process unevenness and waste,
minimizing WIP and maximizing plant-wide throughput.
* Data-Driven Simulation (DES): Oversee the translation of Yamazumi
work-content data and line-balancing profiles into Discrete Event Simulation
models. Capture granular process data—including MTBF, MTTR, and precise
step-level cycle times—to virtually "stress test" the production setting
and validate throughput targets before physical implementation.
* Proactive DFM/DFA Leadership: Direct the execution of rigorous Design for
Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews. Act as the final
gatekeeper for manufacturability, identifying a
