Job Summary Job Description The Resident Regional Manufacturing Leader is the senior executive authority representing the company within the Contract Manufacturing (CM) partner's facility. This is a resident role requiring a permanent on-site presence to oversee the high-velocity, hyperscale production of L10 (node-to-chassis) and L11 (full-rack integration) server infrastructure. You will lead a dedicated cross-functional team to drive daily governance of quality, capacity, and materials. You serve as the lead commander for the On-Site War Room , ensuring that all production remains on schedule and that "Copy-Exact" standards are never compromised during rapid growth phases.
Provide daily, hands-on leadership at the CM facility. You are the "eyes and ears" of the organization, ensuring the CM adheres to proprietary assembly, safety, and test protocols.
Delivery War Room:
Establish and lead the on-site War Room for all production excursions, material shortages, or quality failures impacting delivery commits . Coordinate your team to drive immediate resolution and provide real-time risk assessments to global leadership.
Team Management:
Direct and mentor a resident team of Quality Engineers, Process Engineers, and Manufacturing Program Managers (FPMs) . Ensure they are effectively auditing the CM's performance and engineering changes.
Partner Governance:
Manage the daily relationship with CM senior leadership (Plant Manager/VP of Ops) to ensure hyperscale volume receives top-tier priority in labor allocation and equipment utilization. Capacity Planning & Scalability (L10 & L11)
Infrastructure Roadmap:
Lead long-range capacity modeling for L10 and L11 production. Ensure the facility has the requisite square footage, specialized lifting equipment, and high-density power/cooling to meet 3-year growth forecasts.
Test Cell Scaling:
Manage the expansion of L11 Test capacity . Calculate "Rack-Hours" to ensure sufficient power-shrouds, network switch ports, and diagnostic infrastructure to validate thousands of racks simultaneously.
Burst Strategy:
Develop and test "Surge Plans" on-site to scale throughput by 30-50% within a single quarter to support hyperscale data center "turn-ups."
Quality, Debug & Process Engineering Technical Root Cause:
Lead on-site 8D investigations for complex hardware/firmware failures. Use debug tools and interpret test logs to trace failures back to specific assembly steps or sub-tier component defects.
Preventative Governance:
Drive the use of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DOE (Design of Experiments) through your team to mitigate potential rack-level failures before volume production.
Process Optimization:
Continuously refine manufacturing flow to reduce "Touch Time" per rack , utilizing Lean methodologies to optimize the transition from L10 node-loading to L11 final cabling and functional Test .
Statistical Control:
Implement Statistical Process Control (SPC) to monitor production "drift& quo... Industrial Engineers
