Full description
Vertiv is seeking a Global AME Manager – Fabrication, Assembly & Manufacturing Strategy to lead the development and deployment of scalable manufacturing processes, assembly systems, equipment platforms, and industrial engineering standards across global Infrastructure Solutions (IS) operations.
This role is responsible for defining fabrication, welding, and assembly process architecture while enabling executable manufacturing capacity within an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) and NPDI-driven environment. The successful candidate will partner closely with Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Finance, and Plant Leadership teams to deliver safe, repeatable, and production-ready manufacturing capabilities across global facilities.
Key Responsibilities
Manufacturing & Assembly Process Leadership
- Own and standardize global manufacturing processes for fabrication, welding, assembly, and test operations.
- Define assembly process architectures, production line concepts, and DFM/DFA manufacturing guidelines aligned with business strategy.
- Establish standardized operating models across fabrication, sub-assembly, final assembly, and testing environments.
- Drive process consistency, manufacturability, scalability, and operational efficiency across global manufacturing sites.
Equipment & Capital Strategy
- Define and deploy global equipment, tooling, and automation strategies supporting fabrication and assembly operations.
- Lead equipment specification development, supplier selection, FAT/SAT activities, commissioning, and deployment governance.
- Support capital investment planning through ROI-driven and risk-based business case development.
- Evaluate and implement advanced manufacturing technologies, automation, and robotics solutions where appropriate.
Industrial Engineering & Capacity Enablement
- Own and standardize the global Industrial Engineering (IE) framework across IS manufacturing operations.
- Develop standardized approaches for routings, labor standards, work content analysis, takt time assumptions, and line balancing methodologies.
- Define best practices for workstation design, ergonomics, material flow, and factory space utilization.
- Develop executable capacity models that account for ETO variability, product mix complexity, and production changeovers.
- Support manufacturing footprint optimization and operational scalability initiatives.
