Sr.Manager,SystemDevelopment

We're a fast-growing organization seeking an experienced Sr. Manager, System Development who specializes in advanced manufacturing systems, medium machining operations, and AI-driven automation to lead the design and optimization of high-volume manufacturing facilities for industrial equipment. This senior technical leader will own our smart manufacturing strategy end-to-end — from factory automation architecture and OT systems integration to AI/ML deployment at the edge. You are a systems thinker who understands how machines, software, data, and people interact across the full manufacturing stack. You bring hands-on experience with medium machining environments (roll forming, laser cutting, robotic assembly, powder coating) and know how to translate that domain knowledge into scalable, intelligent production systems. You are a data-driven decision-maker who leverages digital twin modeling, simulation, and AI-powered analytics to rapidly evaluate options and drive decisive action. You bridge the gap between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), and you know how to architect systems — not just manage them. Key job responsibilities Systems Architecture & AI Integration - Lead the design and implementation of AI-enhanced manufacturing systems, including SCADA, MES, PLC integration, edge computing, and IT/OT convergence layers - Define and own the factory automation architecture, establishing integration standards across industrial protocols, data exchange formats, and AI inference pipelines - Deploy AI/ML models at the edge to enable real-time process control, predictive maintenance, and automated quality inspection - Develop and validate advanced factory simulation and digital twin models to optimize production flow, capacity, and system interactions - Medium Machining & Process Engineering - Apply deep knowledge of medium machining processes — including automated roll forming, laser cutting, powder coating, and robotic assembly cells — to drive
