Company

hirify.global provides hardware, software, analytics, and services to enable critical applications in data centers, communication networks, and industrial facilities.

What you will do

• Lead the New Product Introduction (NPI) process, integrating manufacturing constraints and automation requirements into product design early.
• Optimize manufacturing processes using Yamazumi modeling and Takt time analysis to eliminate waste and synchronize flow.
• Develop and oversee Discrete Event Simulation (DES) models to virtually stress test production environments and validate throughput.
• Direct Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews to identify assembly risks and reduce post-launch ECOs.
• Develop and justify CAPEX for launches and automation projects using ROI analysis and DES output.
• Coordinate between global design centers and local plant operations to ensure a flawless handoff to production.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering.
• 5-10 years of experience in manufacturing process design for power products or automotive in a leadership capacity.
• Expertise in Discrete Event Simulation tools (e.g., FlexSim, Arena, Simio, AnyLogic) and CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
• Deep mastery of Lean manufacturing principles and Yamazumi work-balancing techniques.
• Professional fluency in both English and Spanish.
• Legal authorization to work in the US; candidates requiring sponsorship are not eligible.

Nice to have
